Any chance for Spout Output as well from OBS?

[ToxMox]

Thanks for the great plugin! Any plans to add a Spout output filter by any chance? Would be wonderful :)

[facingtomorrow]

Spout out filter (similar to the NDI or virtual webcam plugins) would be amazing!

[campbellwmorgan]

I agree. It would be very useful. I'm a little too busy to go ahead with this right now, but it's definitely something I'd like to add. Very happy to help anybody wanting to contribute to this in getting started :)

[facingtomorrow]

@campbellwmorgan I'd love to be involved, though haven't done any OBS dev before

Just for reminder. OBS 26.0 release, OBS support virtual camera now. It just like Spout output.

[facingtomorrow]

@lou12331 The new built-in virtual camera is nice to see, tho it doesn't have any filter output options. Some reason it also just causes TouchDesigner to hang, so for webcam purposes, the plugin is still far superior. Spout is still preferred in terms of quality/latency and alpha support.

Nevertheless, I do plan on picking up this task again in the next couple weeks.

i have nothing to contribute just wanted to drop by and say i would be very happy to use spout instead of NDI or obs-cam as both solutions arent ideal for my application

[febox6]

+1 for spout output, it would be awesome!

I join the previous comments! An OBS output plugin from Spout would be great. In my particular case, I need to import the OBS video output into Touchdesigner and with the virtual camera it doesn't work.

Just mentioned on #14 that we are beginning work on this internally. @facingtomorrow did you ever manage to start work on this?

[facingtomorrow]

I did end up creating the plugin aspect, and that seems to be mostly functional. However, I can't quite get the graphics-side of things, so it's just a black output at the moment.

[campbellwmorgan]

Update: we think we've got the code done, but are going to do some internal QA on it before releasing a beta of it next week. Will keep you all posted

[campbellwmorgan]

The release of the beta with the output is here: https://github.com/Off-World-Live/obs-spout2-source-plugin/releases/tag/v1.0_beta!

[facingtomorrow]

Had an issue with the plugin installer not being able to write files, but ran it on another computer and copied over the files. Seems to work well so far! Are there plans to make a filter output as well?

[clantogw]

Indeed! I have been following along here and excited to see the progress but filter output is crucial to my application if anyone with the know how can figure it out. I will continue to follow the project for updates. Thank you

[febox6]

Same for me. Main output works great, but without the output filter (for individual scenes) this is useless for most of my use cases.

Great work nonetheless, thank you very much.

@campbellwmorgan Any comments if you guys plan on implementing the output filter for individual scenes? fingers crossed

[ToxMox]

I'm glad to see progress on this! I will also keep following until hopefully it gets added as an output filter for individual sources and scenes like you can do with the NDI plugin.

[campbellwmorgan]

Hey, @febox6 @ToxMox @clantogw yes we're definitely going to make a filter. Hoping to get on to this in the coming weeks!

[febox6]

Any news on this?

[campbellwmorgan]

@febox6 yes it was released nearly two weeks ago. Download the latest release to use!

[febox6]

Great news, thanks, I'll test it out later this week.
