I have used obs.ninja [1] to pipe phone camera feeds as video inputs to OBS. I then use the virtual cam plugin to make that my webcam feed. This works great, but what I'd also love to do is take the audio from the phone mic as a browser input and use it as a virtual microphone. I've only been successful by using a VBCable pipe and setting the monitoring device, but what that ends up doing is also playing all of the s…

I was once where you are now. This completes the puzzle: https://github.com/toadjaune/pulseaudio-config Thank me later ;)

No, I think I shall thank you right now if it's all the same to you! I'm trying to do this on a Windows box so PA doesn't specifically work, but after a cursory glance over this page I think I can take this concept and work out how to map it to a Windows implementation with a bit of fiddling.

The biggest problem - it doesn't work[1][2] with Wayland. So, for example, with Fedora 32 default installation it is impossible to make it record either whole screen or just a selected window. [1] https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/2471 [2] https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/14

I've used https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wlrobs without a problem, but it's true that it doesn't work out of the box.

OpenOffice maybe.

I thought LibreOffice has (approximately) continuity of maintainership with the OOo team, which itself had continuity of maintainership with the StarOffice team. Apache OpenOffice is moribund and has never really regained active development, despite being the official successor according to Oracle corporate.

I think you left off the bit that shows the contributors. Here's the budget and contributors: https://opencollective.com/obsproject#section-budget Another comment mentioned Facebook and Twitch contribute elsewhere. Of course, it seems very widely used, so the point that it's under funded stands.

According to their website[0] their current balance is $97,012.47 USD, and their annual budget is ~ $47,327.66 USD, so they're probably not too badly unerfunded. [0] https://opencollective.com/obsproject#section-budget

That budget appears to mean no one is getting paid for OBS. The project is huge so likely a lot of hours are committed to it.

This is a good example of why I like open source. If someone decides to pull a move like that it can be forked and the project can live on.

That mostly works if the owner isn't also the person doing most of the work on the project.

More to the point, it only works if the owner isn't the only person who is willing and able to maintain the project. Open licensing lets you maintain your own fork, but it doesn't by itself grant you the drive, general skill, and project-specific knowledge to do so.

Just noticed that the OBS project makes about 2.5k per month on Patreon. That's a bit sad, considering basically all of Twitch and the most of the YouTube scene uses it to record and stream their videos, and they tend to use and recommend Patreon to their own viewers. They'd be in a pickle if tomorrow OBS Studio were to disappear.

I'm boutta up that by $100/mo. Just got 26 installed on my Gentoo box, seamless upgrade. I've only been a user for a short, short time but it's amazing.

I'm sorry, I don't understand how to parse your first sentence

Do they? I heard XSplit was used by bigger streamers?
