I've finally managed to get this to run in Windows.

The most tricky part was getting the obs-virtualcam installed correctly.

For your convenience I'll share my screenshots here, so please add them to your README.


For Easy Install on Windows

Which ones should I install?

  • 1. OBS-Studio-25.0.4-Full-Installer-x64.exe
  • 2. OBS-Studio-25.0.4-Full-Installer-x86.exe
  • 3. OBS-VirtualCam2.0.4-Installer.exe
  • 4. OBS-VirtualCam2.0.4.zip -- Don't try to install this. It's just too messy!

Do this:

  • Install both (1) and (2).
  • Now run each one once. (Don't bother with the Auto Configuration Wizard.)
  • After, only then install (3).

There are now 2 folder locations:

  1. C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit
  2. C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit
  • Now during installation you will want to select the following:
  • Chose the x86 program folder, and continue the rest...

OBS-VirtualCam2 0 4-Installer tmp_2020-04-21_00-59-33

OBS-VirtualCam2 0 4-Installer tmp_2020-04-21_00-59-56

OBS-VirtualCam2 0 4-Installer tmp_2020-04-21_01-00-13

OBS-VirtualCam2 0 4-Installer tmp_2020-04-21_01-00-30


Now, if you need to use the 64-bit version you may need to run the installer again, and select the non-x86 version. However, I noticed running it again, it detected where it left off... There are some settings somewhere, but I don't think it installed the also for the 64-bit version...

On a final note, when you run the bat file:

(base) D:\pathto\avatarify>run_windows.bat

You may get faced with a CUDA error window:

csrss_2020-04-21_02-21-18

I already have CUDA installed so I don't know why it can't find it. So I just ignored it and amazingly it ran anyway, although very laggy.

@alievk Please just grab my links in the posts above and I think you can use them in your README.

Also if you have any ideas how to fix the CUDA problem above...

Let's see how common this problem is.

An option would be creating a troubleshooting page in Wiki.

I realized I forgot to update this issue. There are a couple of updates that may be of interest.

  1. Since the full native nVidia CUDA install, doesn't automatically install the missing DLL from error above, you need to either download it manually (see my CUDA summary issue) or easier yet, just copy it from your torch package directory, into your NVIDIA program folder (look in related issue for exact path.)

  2. Since the OBS-VirtualCam installer, only installs once to the selected program files folder, you will not get it into both the 32-bit and 64-bit folders. The result is that:
    only one of your OBS Studios will have the Virtual Cam item in the Tools menu.

UPDATE: 2020-05-10

Because of this:

It is now recommended to use a different fork of the Virtual Cam plugin installer. Apparently the (tag) version 2.0.5 fixes the AAC encoder error. See:
