Controlling virtual camera output

Open 7heMech opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Background

Currently I'm concurrently running a livestream and zoom with different signals (a bit of one a bit of the other) which later merge into one via a single OBS instance, and for the merge I do a slow transition (3s) on studio mode and while that transitions I change camera output selection the the signal I'm switching to, so I was wondering if advanced scene switcher has the option to change virtual camera source when transition is done, but I saw that it can only turn virtual camera on and off.

Solution

Add the feature of controlling virtual camera output.

Alternatives

None

Anything else we should know?

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to directly change settings of the virtual camera using the OBS API.

But maybe I can make it work via obs_frontend_get_virtualcam_output in combination with obs_output_update or something of that sort. I will look into it when I find the time to.


Couldn't get it to work up to now, unfortunately :(
