Question / Help Recording to RTMP with rotation

Is there any combination of encoder and parameters available to rotate source while recording to external URL or file?
-vf option not available in record settings, so, I can't simply use filters and rotate the video, but maybe its any encoder specific options I didn't known about will allow me to rotate video?
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
This will be very useful to stream to two destinations but with different video orientation (portrait for Instagram and Landscape for Youtube for example).
 
Just do a custom ffmpeg out under recording. Then make a unique profile, 1 for insta, 1 for landscape/youtube. Or are you saying -vf doesn't work with that?
 
Then setup a VM and do an rtmp server on there and use that. Why are you then asking this question again when you have already been told by a developer that it can't be done? There is a guide on setting up rtmp under Guides sub forum. It might be reasonable to make do without a VM if you dont have high motion sources.

It's a lot easier then most people seem to think. takes a minute or two to compile nginx with the needed libs. then you'll need to make a batch for ffmpeg out for insta/youtube.
 
I'm asking because there is tons of encoders and tons of option for each of them and maybe somewhere rotation are build in option and avfilter library no needed. I known that its easy to use some proxy solution, but im looking for simple and solid solution based on standard options.

That reminds me, i think maybe u could do some rotation in stream FX plugin, or maybe its called stream effects now. Been a long day so didnt think about it at first.
 
Yeah, not sure why i didnt have a like on it, think because he renamed it, fixed that. You can do some very cool stuff with that. Fantastic plugin.
I hope in the future we can use stuff like that to do animated effects in OBS, that would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO goooooooooooood!
But it's all early days yet, we're basically all babies in this streaming age, despite some has stream work for +20 years.

Also i think you can set a filter for the whole scene, iirc. It's been so long since i used it but it was possible before. Which means, you dont have to rotate every item. Obviously. And if it isnt, then we should request it, but i think u can.
 
I think there is no any reason besides missing options for ffmpeg compile without avfilter library and other standard libraries like font/text.
