Add Latency buffering options #867
Conversation
This looks very beneficial, thanks so much for the improvement! Hopefully it gets merged and released soon :) |
There is a test build of this change available at my fork of the plugin - please test and feedback how it works for you. You just need to download the appropriate "Artifacts" zip for your OS then copy the files into your OBS installation folder. |
I'll look at this soon. |
Hello, I downloaded the plugin version in your fork, but in the obs it doesn't show the third buffer option, what am I doing wrong? I couldn't find the Artifacts.zip you mentioned. Another detail, is it correct to enable Use Hardware Decoding, or leave it disabled? Thanks |
At the bottom of the linked page there is a section titled "Artifacts". In that is a list of zip files for different operating systems. Download the zip file suitable for your operating system. You need to copy the contents of the "data" folder in the zip into your installed obs-studio "data" folder (mine is in c:/program files (x86)/obs-studio), and you need to copy the contents of the "obs-plugins" folder in the zip into your installed "obs-plugins" folder. You should then get the 3 options in buffering. I've been running this test version since March 15 and it works well for me. The Hardware Decoding option makes no difference for me but it may depend on the PC hardware you are using. |
Any updates on getting this merged? Would be extremely useful :) |
I have been running my test version for a few months now and there is still sometimes a buffering issue. It would be better if the buffering was limited to a couple of frames because (at least in my application) the occasional glitch would be preferable to having the source lagging 15 frames behind. This would require a change in the main OBS code though, as the buffering is not part of this plugin. |

Add 3rd option to the source latency drop down to provide a middle option with OBS buffering still enabled, as frame drops prone to occur when this is disabled. Fixes #851.
NB: I have only tested this on Windows 10.
