R1ch, thank you for highlighting OBS in this blog, for helping with the development, and for generally just being wonderful about OBS and acting as a strong advocate for its use. I use OBS, and it is a wonderful program - it is powerful, doesn't have a boatload of strings attached, and is lean but very capable. Simple to use, it's a great poster child for the power of open source solutions to what has previously been the domain of closed source commercial products.

Also, a huge amount of props and thanks to Jim for creating the program in the first place. It's one of the best pieces of software I've ever used - simple, elegant, and it does exactly what it says on the box with a minimum of fuss while allowing people that really know what they're doing to get the most out of their systems.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

I am really interested in OBS. Although I was wondering if OBS can read currently playing song name from foobar2k and display it like xplit +plugin?

R1CH, can OBS live update (or update every few seconds) the contents of a text source from a text file?

I will be sure to check this out R1CH! Also, on a completely unrelated note, are you going to be at IPL? Mafia wouldn't be the same without you.

OBS worked wonders for me! Just that my internet is slow and my GPU wasn't good enough to take care of what my CPU couldn't (i5 2500). Will be getting my 7850 this week, and I'll be streaming using OBS for sure!

OBS is fantastic! Everything R1CH touches is gold...but that may mean he simply has good taste in what he decides to touch.

goodbye xsplit, we hardly knew ye.

Sharing with the community of my country, xsplit is pretty much unaffordable to most of us, and we do not have beast computers.

I will be switching to this once my xsplit license runs out which will be quiet awhile
When I think of something else, something will go here

been using obs since the thread went up here at tl. never looked back.
i really like how with write-to-disk, it uses the encoded stream instead of a raw stream. ie dont even need fraps anymore either.

I've downloaded it, installed it, and everything, but I'm afraid that the set-up procedure might be very complex and/or confusing, so I've put it off up until now. No more of that; I will give it a shot for sure, and it really does seem like a fantastic program. Getting started streaming could be lots of fun!

Just realized I've been running the old version of OBS for a while -- I didn't know they had a game capture source. It is working MUCH better than dxtory for me, in a maxed pvz fight on daybreak I'm not falling below 50 fps now and before I would dip down to 30-35 ish. All while streaming 720p at 60 fps!

Now I feel silly for having purchased xsplit and dxtory -_-

I like OBS a lot better for streaming both BW (thanks for the plugin R1ch~) and sc2, would definitely recommend to any streamers!


What plugin is that? =) I downloaded this the other day too and it is quite awesome. Easy to set up and very simple to navigate. Setting up BW fullscreen capture has proven to be beyond my capablities however(haven't tried window mode). The colors just get all funky and it won't work with uscreen for some reason, while at the same time my FME set-up uses uscreen to capture fullscreen BW just fine.

Does OBS autoconnect to Twitch like xsplit? I will have to check it out once my license ends with xsplit.

Not really sure what you mean by autoconnect. You can enter your stream key and it'll connect when you click "start stream"

Also, there's a Tech Support thread here.

(Been using OBS for a few months and I like it. I can't say it's better than xsplit or not, but it's cheaper!)
