Question / Help stream width correct in OBS, not OBS multiplatform

[gokiburikin]

I've set up a private MonaServer to stream to and in testing have found that jwplayer does not play my stream back at the correct size.

In a test to display the same scene with the same settings on OBS and OBS Studio, these are the results.

OBS:

Does vlc play the video back properly?

VLC and the Mozilla plugin do seem to display the OBS Studio stream at the right size.

Then the problem is not with OBS.

Then the problem is not with OBS.

Assuming that's the case, why does the difference exist between OBS and OBS Studio?

 

[gokiburikin]

For what it's worth OBS studio also doesn't work properly with flowplayer. It defaults to a 10x10 video. My assumption based on reading the jwplayer forums is that OBS studio either isn't at all sending video metadata that includes the video's size, is sending improper information, is sending information out of order, or is otherwise doing something differently than OBS was doing and VLC is just smart enough to fill in the blanks / fix the errors.

You can check with mediainfo what's in the metadata.
