Help with OBS

[Coombzy]

So I sometimes livestream and I use OBS and I also use it for gameplay capture because it's easier to set-up facecam etc and I have different settings for each is it possible to switch between the two sets of settings I have easily or do I need to enter the settings for the one I want to do each time?

Being an OBS pro, I think I can help with this. However, what is exactly is it you want to do? (Dumb it down pl0x)

He wants to switch between his settings for live streaming and his settings for gameplay recording easily.

Not sure if possible. I've only used OBS a small bit to record my Dark Souls I videos.

Create scenes for each setup and switch between them?

Ah, thanks. Had no sleep last night. Dx

If @Coombzy is talking about the software settings, not scenes, then it's not able to be done.

The scenes are only for stuff like without facecam, with facecam etc I don't think it does the settings panel as well.

darn I was hoping it was possibly it's extremely annoying to keep typing the settings out again any plugins that might do it for me?

It doesn't, this is something I've tried to do myself but haven't been able to do. And I spent hours looking for programs or scripts that'll allow me to have recording and then streaming settings. Because changing the bitrate/framerate/resolution was enough to be annoying to me.

ah, I thought he meant he wanted them to look different since he didnt explain what he actually wantde.

 

 

A script could easily be used to copy differnet settings into AppData\Roaming\OBS\profiles\Untitled.ini to quickly switch between the two settings he has.

Yeah but I haven't been able to find one already made, and I don't know how to do it myself.

Here are the settings. I highlighted the ones in red that you would want to customise. Save one copy as Stream.ini and one as Record.ini.

 

Stream.bat

copy  /Y stream.ini c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\OBS\profiles\Untitled.inipause

Record.bat

copy  /Y record.ini c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\OBS\profiles\Untitled.inipause

Ive not tested it. The flats on the copy command may be wrong. I dont create windows scripts often. put stream.ini and record.ini in the same directory as your .bat files.

 

 

 

Le eddit face :

Colours wont work in code tag

 

Just tried the bat files and they work.

Jeez people. There's option to save setting in OBS. I have three streaming profiles set that way so I can lower quality if something isn't working. Input settings, give name to profile, apply and File-> save. After that you can switch between profiles from main window.
