#32What similar software runs on a raspberry pi?
I think OBS can be built and ran on a raspberry pi.

#33I like how OBS has subsumed (often low-quality) screen recording apps for me; apart from the apps original intent for streaming
Screen recording isn't built into your OS?

#35If you build OBS from source and would like more than a 3-band equalizer without a plugin, I've still got my eq8 branch getting stale here: https://github.com/phkahler/obs-studio/tree/eq8 I should rebase that... BTW they do not want it upstream for whatever reasons. I'm not complaining, I get it. But some of us like this built-in so I'm keeping it around.
What's the drawbacks of having equalizer as a plugin as opposed to core?
If there's a 3-band EQ built in, it should probably be an 8-band instead. 3-band is hardly worth using, 8-band lets you do a decent job of balancing most various audio equipment well enough. Should be hardly any additional code complexity or maint burden for a significant functional upgrade.

The only thing I know about webRTC is that vdo ninja uses it https://docs.vdo.ninja/getting-started/vdo.ninja-basics#powe...
OBS outputs WebRTC, so you can push directly into vdo ninja now. If you want more control over your video quality/capture it's nice to not have to use your browser. Trade off is its way harder to setup.
I'd never heard of vdo.ninja. It sounds like the base use case, according to their main page, is the opposite? Phone to webrtc:
> In its simplest form, VDO.Ninja brings live video from a smartphone, tablet, or remote computer, directly into OBS Studio or other browser-enabled software.
I really hope I'm processing what they're saying incorrectly but this sure sounds like they are doing a video encode for each peer, which is madness & obviously bad.
VDO.Ninja is a peer-to-peer system. This means for each new person viewing your feed, a new encode is processed. It also is CPU bound since encoding usually takes place on the CPU. Take care not to overload your system. Keep an eye on your CPU usage.
The intro video also emphasizes that each person has to send video to all peers, that in fact it's not about sending to OBS, it's about having people in a room. And warns that room size of 10 is about as good as you'll get. Seemingly because of these limits.
But if it does what the original purpose states, of streaming to OBS (a single consumer), it doesn't really matter. I am piqued to see how it handles maybe sending multiple people's streams to OBS: if that's what the room is for that's very rad (even if weird anti-efficient at it?)!
I really like the idea of web based tools for video capture. And for some video production. It's cool that vdo.ninja is here. But what the heck; this sounds not good.
Also I find it a weird claim that anyone would have heard of vdo.ninja but not webrtc. 3 results for https://hn.algolia.com/?q=vdo.ninja , about a thousand for webrtc. Always an interesting world, interesting people.

Neither the Windows Game Bar nor MacOS's QuickTime offer any sort of meaningful control over the codec or destination. Once you have OBS installed, you have pretty much zero reason to use start-g or cmd-shift-5.
Plus, on a Mac you can't even record your audio using the built in recording solution, you need a third party audio driver for that.

My thoughts exactly. When I used OBS there was no equalizer. Later I decided to try making one and found they had a new 3-band which was useful for learning how to make audio tools and I was happy to bring my 8-band idea to life. I submitted a PR and one of the devs shepherded me through a few cleanups to make it acceptable. Then they rejected it as somehow non wanted in the project. As an OSS maintainer myself I get it - even though I don't understand the reasons they seemed divided on it since one of them helped with the PR. I try not to speculate on the why, so I have just kept my fork there with the 1 commit to add the 8-band. It's probably way out of date so I should rebase it on latest release. Sounds like there might be some naming convention changes too but I need to find time to look into it.

#40OBS is a great solution if you're on a budget or doing very simple streams, but I really urge anybody who is serious about live streaming professional shows to check out vMix. It's an incredible piece of software that is versatile and packed full of so many features professional broadcasts need all baked in.
Geewiz, 700 usd and only updates for a year of you want similar features to obs.
Thanks to the api you can do quite complex (or wacky) streams with obs. I don't get the "only very simple streams" argument.
