OBS Setup

OBS Setup

There are three ways to bring Scripture Pod into OBS.

1. Browser Source (recommended)

The app serves its display on your network, and OBS shows it as a web page with transparency kept, so no keying is needed.

1. In the app, open Outputs, Wireless and copy the Display link.
2. In OBS, add a Browser Source and paste the link as the URL.
3. Set the size to 1920 × 1080 (or your canvas size).

Verses, lyrics and overlays appear over the rest of your scene.

Media (intro, prayer time, outro)

Give the media its own source so you can place it above or below the verses.

1. Copy the Media link from Outputs, Wireless (or Settings, Outputs and links).
2. Add another Browser Source with it, size 1920 × 1080.
3. Tick Control audio via OBS, so the media's sound reaches the stream. Without it, the sound plays on this computer only.
4. In the app's Media workspace, press Play on stream.

The page stays transparent and empty until you play something.

If you want the verses source to play media too, add &media=1 to the end of its address.

2. Window Capture or Display Capture

Start the Main screen or Stream feed output (Outputs) and capture its window or screen in OBS. The output window is transparent and frameless.

3. Capture card

Use the Stream feed: a second, opaque output filled with a key colour. Choose Black for Luma Key or Green for Chroma Key. A cable cannot carry transparency.

Tips

• Both computers need to be on the same network, and the ports in Outputs and Displays must be open.
• Links change after a restart. Copy them again, or keep OBS and the app on the same computer and use the address shown in the app.
• The browser pages are not an NDI stream.
• Add &debug=1 to a link to show a small panel with the page size, whether the connection is up, and whether media messages arrive. Remove it afterwards.
