For a local sports channel we are considering a set up of a Mac Pro 2019 (96 GB of RAM) with a BlackMagicdesign Declinck PCI card containing 4 SDI inputs for use in OBS Studio (1080p60). All 4 inputs need to be used as a replay source too, so I am certainly interested in this Replay Source plugin. I noted that the creator of the plugin is based in the same country as I am, so that builds confidence. :D And from what I have read about the plugin, most users love it.

My question to current users is: is this plugin stable enough to use it in the above scenario, or should I look into a more "professional" set up with dedicated hardware? Our budget is small so this looks like a viable option for us.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hi

Yes, it's stable and is exactly what you need. I only use windows.

Explanation for1 cam setup. Then you just do it for 4 cams.

My main scene is with cam 1
Then I have a Goal Replay Scene with a Replay source using cam 1 and clips 10 seconds. Set this source to went back to main scene when finished playing the clip. Clip is also saved in goal folder, further use.

Now I have a Long Replay Scene with a Replay source at 15 seconds and another Short Replay Scene at 8 seconds.

For every input you have, you can do this.

4 cams, 4 scenes with video input
One Replay scene for every amount of seconds on every scene.

Let's say you have cam 1 as main cam and cam 2 and 3 as goal cams. Setup hotkey to make Replay of both cam 1 and 2, so if a goal you can Replay from both cam 1 and 2, and again with cam 1 and 3. If cam 4 us a zoom cam, then do it also with this. Then on goal you can Replay from 3 cams.

There at no limit at all. I can make a document that show you the setup

Thank you so much Jesper, love your detailed reply! If you have a document of the set up available that would be fantastic. Do you also use the OBS multiview for switching the cameras?

I currently use a Yolobox Extreme, and while I really appreaciate the versatility and ease of use of the device, the picture quality is lacking a little for broadcasting in my view.

I need to buy all the hardware so I can't test it myself at the moment. On paper the Mac Pro + Decklink PCIe cards + OBS with plugins sound great, but that is on paper and I could easily forget something crucial. Some people on this forum state that the plugin might crash, and I understand that there is no 100% guarantee that it won't because it is software. But at least some real world experience does help me a lot!

In the next days i will make a document. Maybe it's better if i email you the document.
Earlier it could crash, but today i have no crash. BUT i use windows. Don't know if it crashes on mac.

I have an Intel I5 14400F on a gamer motherboard, GPU is RTX 5060TI 16 GB and 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz. That works perfect .

But I want a BM decklink one day ;-)

I do not use multiview for that. I use Source Dock plugin to show what is on cam 2,3,4.... because i can dock only the cam source, and then i use a streamdeck to switch between everything. A streamdeck xl is a MUST have. But multiview also works great if this is the way you will do it.

By the way. Have checked the Yolobox Extreme. It's a very expensive piece of hardware. BlackMagic declink is a much better solution. As i read it, Yolobox is only a "smarter" video switcher, with 2 hdmi output. You have to switch cam on the yolobox and this goes into OBS. If it has usb-c output as webcam signal, then this goes into obs and you have only 1 cam in obs at a time

With the declink you have 4 cams into obs, and can show all 4 at the same time. Yolobox Extreme touch screen is acting the same way as OBS Multiview.

In danish kr it cost 19.000 and a declink cost 4300, and a free OBS ;-)
 
Yes the Yolobox was "just" the switcher in my previous set up, but it handled the replays too so that was a nice touch.
 
I just switched to the ARM variant for OBS and broke Replay Source. Is there a way to get it working with the ARM install of OBS?
Thank you!
 
Uso o Replay Source para fazer replays em transmissões esportivas e o problema que estou enfrentando com o puglin "Replay Source", que após exibir o replay, caso eu queira, exibi-lo novamente, ele está quebrado, o video que configuro para 11 segundos, ja não está mais com 11 segundos, está com 5 ou menos.... isso é ruim, porque eu quero repetir o replay novamente em algum momento da partida.
 
english bellow!

nutze dieses tolle tool seit jahren - vielen dank dafür!

2 Probleme:
1. die Replays werden als .avi Dateien gespeichert (Voreinstellung kann nicht geändert werden, oder ?)
ich habe bisher zur "Wiedergabe" einzelner Replays (aus der Liste der gespeicherten .avi Dateien) den VLC-Player in OBS genutzt.
mit dem VLC Player funktioniert aber die Wiedergabe von .avi Dateien nicht mehr...

2. ich nutze meistens 4 Kameras
bei zwei Kameras werden die Dateien "kopfüber" als Datei gespeichert, bei den zwei anderen Kameras "richtig"
schau hier:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
youtu.be youtu.be
ich finde den Grund dafür nicht
(wenn ich das Replay aus dem RAM abspiele, ist die Ausrichtung "richtig" nicht kopfüber. Nur die gespeicherte .avi Datei ist "kopfüber"...)

Für Hilfe wäre ich wirklich sehr dankbar!

I've been using this great tool for years—thank you so much for it!

2 issues:
1. The replays are saved as .avi files (the default setting can't be changed, right?)
So far, I've been using the VLC player in OBS to “play back” individual replays (from the list of saved .avi files).
But the VLC Player no longer plays .avi files...

2. I usually use 4 cameras.
With two cameras, the files are saved “upside down,” while with the other two cameras, they’re saved “right side up.”
Check this out:

youtu.be youtu.be
I can’t figure out why this is happening
(When I play the replay from RAM, the orientation is “correct”—not upside down. Only the saved .avi file is “upside down”...)

I’d really appreciate any help!
 
I’m having an issue with this plugin. No matter what duration I set (2s, 15s), it always records 5 seconds. My replay buffer is set to 20 seconds. What’s causing this, and how can I get 2–3 second replays instead?
