OBS-Camera not recognized by Android Emulators (Tested with Andy, Bluestacks, Memu, Genymotion, Nox)
Hi, first things first: Thank you for this great plugin! It works just fine for Google hangouts and Skype. My usecase however would be to use the camera with an android emulator. The Emulator runns just fine with droidcam for example which is also a virtual webcam. However, even if no other webcam is connected, the OBS-Camera is not recognized by any of those emulators. The partial solution from https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam/issues/11 did not work for me.
Kind regards Patrick
Idk if this is any usefull Information, but the manycam stream is recognized by Andy. Meaning, what i am doing right now is inputting the OBS-Camera into manycam and outputting it 1:1 into the emulator. However with every instance there is more lag and lower quality. And as far as i know manycam has not such a good chromakey feature, so i would rather work with OBS. Also i am a little scared about the subscription model. I would have no problem with paying a one time fee tho.
Kind regards Patrick
I only have nox in my current environment , and it seems fine , But as I know nox only accept the first webcam device for its input so you might have to disable other camera first.
And I am not so sure about the compatibility with other emulators , but maybe you can try to change obs output resolution to see if is a resolution problem , because many real webcam use 4:3 as a default setting.
@CatxFish Thanks for the clarification, i will try to disable all other devices and then re-enable them. If this works, it would be great. Actually i purchased manycam but i am very disapointed of the accuracy regarding the chroma key feature, so OBS is just a lot better.
Another Question: Is there a way to reduce the lag a little? its kind of big right now.
I will try to get my money back from manycam, so if OBS works with Nox/Koplayer, i would like to make a donation for the OBS Camera instead, where can i do this?
Kind regards Patrick
I just want to leave another update here in case someone else needs this: i used manycam as a bridge from obs.
So what i do is add everything in OBS output it through virtual cam, read the stream in manycam, add music and ~800ms delay for voice and read this into koplayer. Here it actually works even in 720p and there are no wierd cutouts like in nox :)
Would be nice if it would work directly tho ;)
Kind regards Patrick
The shortest direct delay would be 30-50 ms. That's the best it can do. And the donation is via Paypal.me Hope you can achieve what you want.
@j0schi i want to share my game as a webcam for Bluestacks or any android emulator to share it on Azar could you help me with the steps if it works with OBS

@CatxFish @j0schi did you successfully used it with bluestack, or bluestack just won't work with it? i just tried using it with bluestack, it tells me that it can't open the camera (whatsapp qr scan) and it says camera maybe in use (open camera app), i'm trying this with my VM on google. so i'm sure there aren't any camera/imaging device installed.
btw thanks before, i hope you or someone can help me this time
Any updates on this? Been trying to get it to work all day. Thanks for the help
@CatxFish I tried using NOX and had my camer diabled and uninstall all other web cam application. But I cant have it run on NOX emulator like what you did.

Hello, what version of NOX was this one?
