swf support

[coomdoom]

Hi,

I love OBS and think it's a great alternative to xsplit. The only thing I feel that currently sets xsplit apart is the ability to run swfs (with transparent backgrounds) to add swift and slick elements to a broadcast (e.g. a now playing on-screen overlay created in flash). I would love the ability to do this as it could encourage others who use swfs to switch over to OBS and will be useful for me when I plan to do a charity stream in the near future.

I'm pretty sure you can do this with the Browser Source Plugin: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3284

My swf doesn't work with this. My swf is not designed for a web page and to run on a desktop/xsplit (hopefully soon OBS). I see that swf support is actually planned so this thread can just show more support for it to be implemented.

'doesn't work with this'

Can you explain?

Did you specify the file location and check the 'wrap asset' checkbox?

You specify the location by asset://local/relative/to/OBS/dir

Or asset://local/C:/relative/to/root/directory

Let me give it another shot. I guess there's no 64 bit version of this yet either?

EDIT: Ok just tried it and the swf appears but does not seem to run. It's coded in AS3 and is supposed to load up the artist and song name from an xml file plus the album artwork.

This is what it is like in OBS: http://i.imgur.com/AxA264x.png

This is what it is like in XSplit (working correctly): http://i.imgur.com/fa9Msth.png

It doesn't seem to 'play' the swf. I dunno if it would do that too if I put it into a webpage because it was never intended to be embedded into a webpage but run as a standalone swf.

Hmm, maybe add an option autoplay=true ?

<param name='autoplay' value='true'></param>

and

<embed ... autoplay='true' ... ></embed>

.. or maybe it is autostart :p Cannot remember, anyways if you could supply the swf and an xml I could test it out.
