Hello guys, since i couldnt find anything by myself after looking for quite some time i came to the conclusion to open a forum post about my problem ^^

it is a really simple question: Can i show the actual viewer count in the obs application like its shown in xsplit?

Yeah, this has been requested numerous times and is a planned addition.

In the meantime, if all you want is a lightweight viewer count application, you can use the viewer count app I made when I decided that I didn't feel like keeping my dashboard open just to see how many people were watching. (I also added file output to it, idea courtesy of micechal, in case you want to use it for a text source or easily pass it on to another application.)
The binary itself is available here: http://www.apehead.se/twitch_viewers.zip
And the source code (Visual Studio 2008 project): http://www.apehead.se/twitch_viewers_src.zip

It's definitely nothing advanced, but it only uses about 4MB of RAM, which is quite a bit less than a web browser.

Edit: Forgot to mention. The "x" button in the main window clears the max viewer count, and when file output is enabled it outputs the viewer count to viewercount.txt.

Ah, sorry, I forgot to explain what to put for the channel name, didn't I? Let's say the Twitch.tv URL for your channel is http://www.twitch.tv/somechannel , you put "somechannel" in the text box that says "channel name" in the application.

It currently only supports Twitch.tv, but I could probably make one for own3d as well, given some time to check up on their channel API.

I just looked into the 3rd party one from ffsplit, that looks really good. i hate using the normal dashboard on Twitch.tv so many bugs, so little fixes.

Well okay, that didn't take too long to finish up. :) Twitch Viewers now supports own3d as well, but instead of using the channel name on own3d, it uses the Live ID, so if your own3d URL is http://www.own3d.tv/somechannel/live/123456 , you put "123456" in the text box to get the viewer count.

(File links are the same as in the previous post, but I'll past them again, just in case:)

Things: The "x" button in the main window clears the max viewer count, and when file output is enabled it outputs the viewer count to viewercount.txt. When using twitch, type in your channel name in the text box in the application, minus the twitch.tv/ part of your Twitch URL, when using own3d, use your Live Stream ID, the six digits at the end of your live stream URL on own3d. I suck. D:
