Emberstage v0.1.0-beta.3

What's new

• Rename media: use the pencil button in the Media dock to set a display name. Names persist across reloads without changing the original file or interrupting live output.
• YouTube live streams: choose YouTube, paste a direct YouTube video/live URL, optionally name it, then select Show media. Includes mute, play/pause, full-screen and side-by-side layouts.
• Stream items use static library thumbnails. Failed replacements keep the previous media visible; hiding or replacing a stream releases its player.

YouTube requires internet access and embedding permission. Ads, regional restrictions and broadcaster settings may affect playback. Only show content you are authorized to use. The player uses Emberstage's hosted HTTPS bridge; your media library remains local. YouTube streams cannot use crop/fill, loop, seek, or camera-overlay inset controls.

Download and install

Download your installer from Assets below, plus its matching .sha256 checksum:

• Windows: Emberstage-Setup.exe
• macOS: Emberstage-macOS.dmg
• Linux: Emberstage-Linux.tar.gz

Do not select the automatically generated Source code archives for normal installation. Close OBS before running the installer. Follow the platform installation instructions, then the operator guide.

These are unsigned beta installers. macOS requires Python 3 and is not notarized. Linux requires Python 3 and supports native and Flatpak OBS through a host-side installer. Automated fixture/package checks and browser playback tests do not replace a live-output rehearsal on your own OBS hardware.
