How to get a stream or per frame event of the input source or scene #40

Closed maximehuylebroeck closed 3 years ago

maximehuylebroeck commented 3 years ago

Hi guys, I'm trying to use this as an example of how to use the obs-studio-node lib. But what I'm actually trying to do is to get a stream/event of the captured input/preview screen so i can get data from every frame captured by the obs lib (in real time ish). I just can't seem to find anything in the code that is updating the preview div tag let alone a way to get the frames of the input source.

Many Thanks in advance.

That's because nothing updates div tag. It is always blank and serves just as a placeholder to keep space. obs-studio-node renders preview video separately on top of that div, we just provide coordinates of this div container relatively to window borders, using some OS-level mechanics (I'm not sure which).

Regarding your main question I don't know whether it is possible or not using just the library.
