v1.0.1 — Locale, colors, and gradients

Fixes in v1.0.1

Locale / menu labels

OBS loads en-US.ini from the plugin data folder, not next to the DLL. Install it at:

<OBS install>\data\obs-plugins\audio-visualizer\locale\en-US.ini

(Portable: <OBS folder>\data\obs-plugins\audio-visualizer\locale\en-US.ini)

If this file is missing or only placed under obs-plugins\64bit\..., property names show as raw keys (e.g. KickViz.SourceName). Install instructions are updated in the repo.

Colors

Color values use the same uint32 packing as libobs (0xAABBGGRR). The plugin decoded them incorrectly, so the picker and the bars could disagree (e.g. magenta appearing yellow). That is fixed.

Gradients

Use gradient is now honored for bars (normal, mirrored, radial), dots, and peak caps.

Other

• Default Frequency detail is set for new sources.
• Second gradient color default matches OBS color encoding.

Install

• audio-visualizer.dll → obs-plugins\64bit\
• en-US.ini → data\obs-plugins\audio-visualizer\locale\
• Restart OBS

Prebuilt binaries are not attached here; build from the v1.0.1 tag with CMake or add your usual .dll to this release if you distribute them.
