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!
