New update seems to crash obs too much when adding or removing the filter. Logitech c910 here. Any ideas?

Seems to be mainly when I try to apply the filter on a group in obs

@gamespeaker I have not tested with a group, will do that to see if I can reproduce your issue.

also why if you leave to another scene with the filter the source freezes

If I apple the filter to a scene and have my webcam in there and change to another scene the filter still works. So why not the filter on a source and then change to another scene?
What is the different to the other plugin?
OBS Virtualcam
As an FYI, this plugin will not be updated to support OBS 28. I recommend using Exeldro's filter plugin that extend the use of the built-in virtual camera instead. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/virtual-cam-filter.1142/ NOTE: The...
This one has the same features and was build in by OBS (but just the 1st way).
I use the linked plugin and I can add a filter to any scene to show it by obs virtual cam in Discord / etc.

Will the filter only work on a source that is active in the current scene? So if you switch to another scene will the filter now work?

Noticed two things with this plugin:
- the output resolution of the virtual camera with this plugin is the canvas resolution not the output resolution of OBS
- CPU usage goes up from 1-2% to 6+% which seems a lot (even if i set my canvas resolution to be the same as the output resolution) (this increased CPU usage stays even if the filter output is disabled)

Great work!
In my case, though, it's the render time that gets hammered.
No virtual cameras: CPU 7%, around 3 ms to render frame
OBS virtual camera (not the plugin): CPU 7%, around 3 ms to render frame
This plugin (applied to scene, maybe this is why?): CPU 13%, around 13 ms to render frame
This occurs whether the filter is visible or not in the scene, and affects the render time for all other scenes, even when the scene containing the filter is not active / visible / not being used as a nested scene. The only way to get back to 3 ms / frame is to remove the filter from the scene.
It's a bit better if applied to a source only (not a scene): CPU 11%, around 5 ms to render frame.
I don't know if this is something that can be fixed, or if it is just inherent to the way it works / needs to work?

Thank you so much Exeldro. Just tested myself. Now when source with filter is not the active in scene it still renders.
Thank you again for your hard work.
Any Mac user also using this? This doesn't work for me. My OBS is the latest (27.0.1). I just downloaded this filter, so everything should be up to date. But this filter isn't working for me. Toggling the eye doesn't turn it on. But the other way of turning on the virtual camera works.

Hey. Don't know if it is something about Bodhi Linux, but I can't get the plugin to work.
Installation: I drop the 'virtual-cam' folder on the 'plugins' folder in obs-studio.
The plugin doesn't show on Tools and when I add it as filter on a source, it says "no properties".
Also, when I open the files (".so" and the ".ini"), there is no info or code.
PS: The plugin works very, very, VERY finely on Windows. Just having this brainer on Bodhi.

Same here latest OBS, latest MacOS but the filter isn't working.
With this plugin installed, the "Start Virtual Camera" button in OBS is also not working/disabled (for anything). I have to remove the plugin to re-enable the "Start Virtual Camera" button.
Great plugin.
I have noticed that if I have the filter enabled on a source and try to change scene collections or quit OBS, that will cause OBS to crash. Remembering to turn it off every time isn't the end of the world, but that's my bug report for a cool plugin.
A log from a crash on quit included.
