4 years ago Hi! On which plateform are you?
Premake should handle all the config for everything.

4 years ago You can download the 0.2 release in the releases section of GitHub. The 0.3 binaries will be downloadable soon (I will make a release candidate for them).
As for the Kinect v2, there's not much difference between 0.2 and 0.3 for now, except for some performance improvement.

3 years ago I've tested libfreenect on my current machine (archlinux install) and it works pretty well. Is there any reasonably straightforward way to build this with libfreenect as it currently stands? I'd be willing to go through the effort and test it on my system, this is something i've been wanting for a while now!
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago Hi!
From what I saw libfreenect(2) should be kinda easy to use, and Linux support is my next big task. It's just that I have a lot of work to do for other projects (and I have a relatively costly hobby called eating 😄 ) and this is not at the top of my todo list for now.
However a lot of the work that went into 0.3 (that will be 1.0 when out) was to make obs-kinect core portable, and leave Windows/Kinect SDK specific stuff in some backend code. All that to say there's not much work remaining in order to have this plugin on Linux!

3 years ago I am trying to use Kinect 2 as a webcam on Mac (using Slack). Using Libfreenect2 I can get the RGB stream through their example app (Protonect) or code but there is no straightforward way to expose Kinect as a webcam to other software.
Since OBS can act a virtual webcam on Mac having this plugin working would be highly useful.

3 years ago Hello! I have to agree, I would love to see a working macOS Plugin. I've been looking for a solution to use my Kinect v2 via libfreenect2 as a webcam too for quite some time now, this is by far the most promising solution. Great work so far!
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago Just a quick message to tell you guys I'm not forgetting about Linux and macOS, I'm just working on several things at once (a man has to eat). My next big task (and the only remaining missing feature for 1.0) is Linux and macOS support. 😄

First KinectV2 color image captured using the WIP freenect2 background! I'm testing it on Windows for now but this backend is made for Linux and macOS users 😄
I'm also switching from premake to xmake as a build tool for its handling of dependencies, and planning to setup a CI (with nightly builds).

I managed to make the fake greenscreen work with libfreenect2. The results seems worse than with the official Windows SDK (it may be because of some options I still have to tweak).
fotiDim
commented
3 years ago That is cool. Personally I am happy with having greenscreen only on Windows. I only need it as a webcam on mac.
Milliw
commented
3 years ago Do you know if the Linux version will have the same impact on system performance than on Windows? I dropped the Kinect atm on Windows because of that.
I hope it will be less, as at least the Kinect windows service will not be there?!
Otherwise I will sell my Kinect due to lack of availability of graphics cards at normal prices atm
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago It depends on the Kinect model.
One of the benefit of Freenect2 (kinect for xbox one) is that it is able to exploit either the CPU or GPU to perform depth processing. I don't know if it will be faster than what the official SDK does but at least there will be more control.
I don't really know about Freenect (kinect for 360), as it's a completely different API, but I think it will be handled in a smarter way (the official Windows SDK tries to use all CPU threads at once).
As for Azure Kinect, I don't think there will be a significant difference (as it's the same SDK). Even though there maybe a difference between Windows and Linux/macOS on low-level handling.
So the real answer here is: I don't know yet, it requires some testing.
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago I managed to setup a CI which will build Linux plugins files (and eventually Windows and macOS) with a preliminary support for Kinect v2 (xbox one) through freenect2, and Azure Kinect support through Kinect for Azure SDK.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can download the Linux plugins files here (click on the last workflow that ran on master and download the ubuntu-latest-x64-releasedbg artifacts).
You'll still need a few other files (currently missing from this package), so you'll need to download the latest Windows nightlies to get theses files (please do it only if you know what you're doing).
This is not tested.
If you went into the troubles of trying this, please let me know if and how it worked for you (even if it didn't)!
Kinect v1 (xbox 360) and macOS users, don't worry. You'll be able to try it out soon!

3 years ago I improved packaging support for Windows and Linux, which means the Linux package now has obs-kinect data (shaders and locales).
I'm wondering, what would be the best way to distribute obs-kinect on Linux? I've seen that some plugins (such as obs-websocket) build a .deb package which automatically installs the plugin files at the right place, which is something I can do, but doesn't that excludes non-debian based Linux distributions? What about them? Is obs studio even available/used on such distributions?
About mac builds, things seems easier on a technical level but would require me to pay for an Apple Developer Certificate annually. I need to think about this, and if there's another way.

Yes, if it´s a .deb package it´s only for debian based distros. AFAIK advanced users could extract that package and copy to the right places on their distro, too. IIRC I´ve done that once but not sure. I tried Solus, elementaryOS and am now with Manjaro (arch based). For all theses distros there is OBS "natively" available through their package managers.
Compiling it for one/serveral formats would limit it to these distros. Maybe at least give a manual how to install from scratch into most common distros/bases (don´t know the right term) (deb, arch). There are also distro-wide packages like flat, snap and some third I can´t remember. Though I´m not sure if this will work only together with OBS installed using this packages, too.

3 years ago First image of obs-kinect on Linux!
I installed Ubuntu 20.04 and went into some troubles but finally found a way to make it work.
From what I observed, freenect2 works well, and is able to use my KinectV2 without any issue, except for the root permissions (which seems to be easy to fix, see https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2/issues/870 ).
The Azure backend works too, but for some weird reason I couldn't retrieve the depth or infrared streams, probably something on my side.
The main remaining issue which remains is now a rpath one, I'll explain: OBS-Studio loads obs-kinect which then loads its backends (obs-kinect-freenect2 for example), but this one is linked against obs-kinect and it seems Linux wants to open libobs-kinect.so back from there, except it just can't be found since libobs-kinect belongs to the plugin folder.
Setting the rpath to $origin doesn't help, as the origin here is OBS, and I can't set it to something like $origin/../../obs-plugins/64bit (which I did to test locally) because this path isn't guaranteed.
I see some solutions to fix this: 1) Find some rpath trick to retrieve libobs-kinect.so. 2) Split libobs-kinect.so in two files, set one next to obs executable and the other in obs-plugins folder (and make the backend linked to the first one, so no direct link between the plugin and its backend). 3) Use static linking. 4) Merge obs-kinect backend code into the main plugin and dynamically load backend dependencies.
I'm not sure if 1) is even possible, 3) is ugly and 4) is difficult to implement (as the libraries used are not really meant for that), so I think I'll go with 2).
Oh and I had to fix a shader on Linux, which now doesn't compile on Windows, yay.

commented
3 years ago I managed to work around theses problems and even make my Azure Kinect work on Linux (with depth-based blur!), I was just lacking Microsoft proprietary depth engine.
If the last commit compiles on the CI, it should be working for Linux users.

obs studio is available on most mainstream distros (debian, arch, gentoo probably even) and your "duty" as the developer in the typical linux packaging world is just really just tagging releases in github. Then those builds are reproducible for package maintainers in theory.
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago Do you know a OBS Studio plugins for Linux which does everything that should be done for this platform? The only example I've seen is obs-websocket which only provides a .deb package for Debian-based distributions.

3 years ago On my previous Manjaro installation I had the "NDI" plugin installed. Oh and on my laptop with Solus OS, too. Don't know if this helps you.
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago How did you install them? I can only find debian packages on their Github page
Milliw
commented
3 years ago Honestly I can't remember. I just did a lookup and at least on Manjaro there are packages available in the AUR from where it can be build on demand. For Solus it COULD be similar.
But iirc I had to adapt some files/paths at least on one of the two OS. Though I'm really really not sure about. I do not use OBS on Linux atm so I'm sorry I can not give you more information about it.
Milliw
commented
3 years ago I'm pretty sure though, that it depends on how one installs OBS. Theses app/snap/flat packages are (all?) sandboxed and therefore plugins may be not compatible/different to install.
SirLynix
commented
3 years ago Thanks for the info. I think I will just bother distributing a .deb package for now (once Linux support is complete) and we'll see for other distributions after that.

SirLynix

2 years ago Hi.
In theory obs-kinect master should already support macOS, but I think I need an Apple computer to build it myself, so I should try to setup a CI action for that.
Sorry for the wait, it's because of my lack of experience with mac platform.

2 years ago Hi! You can either build the plugin yourself or download the latest Linux nightlies.
Freenect2 (Kinectv2) and Azure (Kinectv3) support should be fine, Freenect (Kinectv1) should work for color. It's a bit difficult for me to work on it at the moment but I'd love to have feedbacks.

2 years ago I just tried the plugin. It does not seem to work, but I'm not sure it's the plugin fault. For context : I have a Kinect v1 (model 1414). It is not detected by the plugin, or anywhere else except freenect-glview actually...
Here is what lsusb gives me :

2 years ago Same issue here, I installed the .so files in /usr/lib/obs-plugins and see that they are being loaded by the obs-studio. I got some errors on missing libraries which I added all to the folder. After this the error messages disappeared.
But I see no option to select the Kinect v1.Does anyone know how I can check if the plugin is installed fine? Also the build artifacts were removed, so if someone could trigger a rebuild, that would be nice.
I was looking to implement this idea of using libfreenect and pipe this to v4l2 to use the depth functionality in any app. Pretty cool this obs app.
SirLynix
commented
2 years ago Check your OBS logs to see if the plugin is correctly loaded.
I just triggered a new build, it should be good in about 10min
jekkos
commented
2 years ago I see no mention of the plugin files in the logs, however I do see some attempt in strace to load the .so files.
Can they all go in the same dir or do I need to keep the subfolder structure?
jekkos
commented
2 years ago currently I have obs-kinect-freenect.so, libobs-kinectcore.so and obs-kinect-freenect.so in /usr/lib/obs-plugins.
SirLynix
commented
2 years ago Honestly I'm not sure at all of where obs will fetch plugins file, I did make it work one time on Ubuntu but I'm not using Linux much, especially not graphical Linux.
Build failed because of some link order issue, which is weird, I reported it to xmake author.
jekkos
commented
2 years ago Ah ok, just wanted to know whether the .so files rely on the directory structure that comes with the zip file. But basically if the plugin is loaded I should be able to add it as a source even if there is no kinect connected? If that is the case then I guess the plugin is not loaded properly (as I see no extra source in the dropdown)
SirLynix
commented
2 years ago Yes, if the plugins loads you should be able to create a Kinect source, even if it failed to load any backend.
If you don't see a Kinect source in the list, then the plugin itself failed to load.
SirLynix
commented
2 years ago Thanks to xmake author, the bug was quickly fixed and artifacts are now available for Linux.
xurei
commented
2 years ago I tried the latest build and I still don't see the Kinect v1 in the devices list. However, I can use the built-in video capture of OBS to use the Kinect as a camera - without much configuration options.
Hence, maybe this is why the plugin does not detect the Kinect ? (I actually doubt it, but if it can help you find the problem...)
[EDIT] Just realized I can also get the IR camera stream from the built-in video capture.
SirLynix
commented
2 years ago This seems pretty normal and isn't an issue, do you have any mention to obs-kinect in OBS logs?

Hi,
With the upcoming 0.3 release, I splitted obs-kinect into multiple parts: common stuff like obs plugin registration, depth/infrared/faux green-screen processing, source and general device handling is part of the core but it doesn't know about Kinect devices (or even windows). Kinect v1/v2 handling is done in separate dll which are loaded by obs-kinect at startup.
This was made to add support for Kinect v1 without requiring the install of both v1 and v2 runtimes. And also to support Linux/macOS.
Obviously, Microsoft Kinect SDKs don't work on Linux/macOS, hopefully projects like libfreenect and libfreenect2 allow the use of Kinect on these systems.
Since obs-kinect device handling is done in separate libraries, it's possible to add libfreenect support kinda easily.
I tried both of these libraries on Windows (since they do have Windows support as well) for testing and it's working well!
freenect (v1):
freenect2 (v2):
However since libfreenect(2) needs raw USB commands, it requires to install a custom USB driver (like UsbDk). Hopefully this doesn't conflict with Kinect v2 (I can use libfreenect2 and Kinect SDK v2.0 without problem), but well, for Kinect v1 it's a bit more like hell. You have to replace the Kinect USB driver (using Zadig) for libfreenect to work which prevents Kinect SDK v1.8 to work, and it took me one hour to reinstall the official Kinect drivers, so yeah, I don't think I will release an obs-kinect libfreenect backend on Windows because of that (since it doesn't seem to do things you cannot do with official Kinect v1.8 runtime, except maybe for led control?).
As for Kinect v2, libfreenect2 does add more control, especially with the RGB camera color settings (things like exposure mode, white balance, gain, and such), so I think I'll support it on Windows too (even though I hope to be able to do that as well with the official SDK backend, using this).
Important note
Both libfreenect libs are really cool, but they are lacking some higher-level stuff the Kinect SDK does, like body/skeletal detection, or dedicated background removal (like Kinect SDK v1.8 does). It doesn't mean you won't be able to have background removal on Linux/macOS but it means you won't be able to use body informations for that and there's not much I can do about that. (except implementing body detecting but it requires some skill I don't have).
I will be able to compile the plugin on Linux, or even test it without problems, but I won't be able to do that with macOS. So if you have a mac and are willing to help, please let me know!
Also, as the 0.3 release is already a big one, Linux/macOS support won't be part of it (but I'll try to do it asap).
TL;DR: Linux/macOS support requires an open-source backend since official Microsoft SDKs are for Windows. There are backend for Kinect v1 and v2 but they don't do higher-level processing like body information. Things like body detection/body-based greenscreen filtering won't work on Linux/macOS because of that.
