PTZ Camera Control for OBS v0.18.1

in which Dutch is added

That is all

Note: There are two separate installers for Windows. One that works with OBS Studio 31.0.4 and earlier, and another that works with the OBS Studio 31.1.0 release candidate. Make sure you install the correct one.

PTZ Controls 0.18.0 (for OBS Studio 31.1.0 and newer)

This is a special release of 0.18.0 that is built against OBS Studio 31.1.0-rc1. The regular release does not work with the 31.1.0 release candidate on Windows. Use this release instead.

Unfortunately this build will not work with OBS Studio 31.0.3 or earlier. Only use this release if you're using OBS Studio 31.1.0 or newer. Otherwise use https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/releases/v0.18.0

em que aprendo a falar português

I'm quite happy with this release. Not only does the plugin finally support localization with translations added for Portugese, Danish, German, French, and Norwegian, but there have been updates throughout the core code. Joystick buttons can now be mapped to any OBS hotkey. The VISCA protocol handling is more robust and should be better at reporting camera power and autofocus state. It is also the background work that was needed to start adding control of extended camera settings through the plugin. There is a sizable backlog of feature requests that were blocked on that work, so I'm hoping to get through some of those in the next release. The UI has been cleaned up, with more consistent layout and closer match to the style of the built in docks. The on-screen joystick has been simplified, and now gives visual feedback.

Thank you to everyone who helped with code, translations, and testing. I also love hearing about how you're using the plugin and what would make it work better in your environment. Keep those comments, patches and translations coming!

Note: There are two separate builds for Windows. One for OBS Studio 31.0.3 and earlier, and another that works with the OBS Studio 31.1.0-rc1 release candidate. There is a library conflict that prevents a single build from working with both. Make sure you install the version that matches your OBS Studio version

PTZ Camera Control for OBS v0.18.0-pre3

in which there are fewer papercuts

This is a pre-release of the 0.18.x series of the plugin for testing and local translation before a full release is made. A few tweaks have been made to widget layouts, and more translations have been added. Thank you to all the translators who helped with the localization. As before, please provide feedback in the discussion page for the 0.18.x release series.

I'll be tagging the 0.18.0 release in about a week. There won't be any more major changes, and this is the last call for getting translations submitted or updated for 0.18.0 over on the PTZ Controls Crowdin project page.

PTZ Controls 0.18.0-pre1

in which the kindness of strangers is appreciated

This is a pre-release of the 0.18.x series of the plugin for testing and local translation before a full release is made. I've done very little testing on this version as I'm releasing it while travelling and away from my test lab. As there are significant changes in both the backend code and the UI layout, I'd appreciate testing and feedback. As before, please provide feedback in the discussion page for the 0.18.x release series.

One big thing to highlight, this is the first release that can be translated into other languages. I need help with this though. I will be making a full release in about 2 weeks time. If you want to have PTZ Controls UI translated into your own language, please help by going to the PTZ Controls Crowdin project page and providing string translations.

PTZ Controls 0.17.2

in which touchups are made

The first beta of OBS studio 31.1 was released this past week, which cleaned up the QListView layout logic. However, in fixing that, it exposed where obs-ptz made the same mistakes. This is a minor release that fixes the device list display on the new OBS beta release.

Anyone using an OBS 31.1.x release should upgrade to this version.

PTZ Controls 0.17.1

in which the mystery of what was taking so long is solved

This is a bug fix release to fix VISCA over IP cameras to taking a long time to start working when using an IP address. The delay was because the plugin was attempting to do a reverse DNS lookup for the IP, and not starting the connection until the reverse lookup finished or timed out. Anyone using VISCA over IP cameras should upgrade to this version.

The other fixes here are updating the contributor acknowledgement in the settings dialog and disabling USB support on MacOS as it only works in Linux and Windows at the moment.

Full Changelog: v0.17.0...v0.17.1

PTZ Controls 0.17.0

in which the lights get turned back on

Here is a new stable release of the PTZ control plugin, updated to work with OBS Studio 31.0.0 and with many bug fixes and enhancements. Binaries for MacOS, Windows and Ubuntu 24.04 are all available, and you can compile from source to support other Linux distros. The build system has been completely overhauled to use the latest build scripts from obs-plugintemplate, making it much easier to get up and running.

VISCA support (UART, TCP and UDP) have had a lot of work to more closely follow the protocol. This should result in more reliable and responsive control. This includes adding support for cameras that don't use a sequence number over UDP, and being able to specifiy UDP connections by hostname instead of IP address.

Joystick support has also improved. It is now possible to choose how joystick axes and buttons are mapped to actions in the plugin.

Support for both ONVIF and USB UVC cameras has been added to the plugin. In both cases, this support is experimental and may not work as expected. Please file issues for any problems you have with these types of cameras.

There are also lots of quality of life fixes all over the plugin. Context menus are used in more places which allows buttons to be removed from the toolbar to clean up the interface. Status of autofocus and camera power is more reliable. Verbose protocol tracing only gets written to the log if OBS Studio is run with the --verbose flag, so that your OBS log file doesn't get overloaded with the entire protocol stream. The installers will now install the plugin to the updated plugins directory.

This release should also work with OBS Studio 30.0.0, but not all the visual elements will look right because the 31 series adds a new theme system which is used by this release. Version 29 and earlier are no longer supported.

If you've got a previous version of PTZ Controls installed, uninstall it before installing this version.

Happy broadcasting!

VISCA protocol logging is back in this release, but the way to enable it has changed. To get the protocol log, OBS needs to be run with the —verbose flag, and there is a per camera option to write the data to the log. Wireshark is also a good way to snoop the traffic for debugging.

in which VISCA-over-IP gets some much needed love and attention

Warning: This is an unsupported test release. Not recommended for production environments. Please test and report your experience in the v0.17.0 Discussion page instead of filing issues.

A notable change in this release is that debug logging no longer dumps the full protocol trace into the OBS log file. While it was useful, it was also very noisy and filled up the log file very quickly. I've disabled it in the build for now until a better way to display protocol traffic is designed. In the mean time, wireshark is a good way to snoop the traffic for debugging.
