If we're going to be doing streaming using OBS would it make more sense to switch to the Default profile on the Stream Deck and use their software or is OBS as easy to control as Pro Tools?
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2020-04-09 16:15:01.099ZI think for now it probably makes sense to use the Stream Deck OBS integration yes.
The way to get support for OBS in SF would be to use the OBS Remote plugin inside OBS:
http://www.obsremote.com/And then have SF start a websocket connection. We have tons of websocket support in SF internally, so we just need to expose that in the Javascripts.
Andrew Scheps @Andrew_SchepsHmmm, it's actually a bit of a problem. If I switch to the default Stream Deck profile I can set up a deck to control OBS, but if you have any decks with an application trigger you get a nag dialog to change the profile when you switch to those apps. I could just get rid of the application triggers I suppose... Theoretically, if I had a second stream deck could I set the profiles per device so I could have one for SoundFlow and one for Stream Deck?
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2020-04-09 16:54:49.878ZYea. The only real solutions is if either:
- Stream Deck fixes this "bug" or badly designed behavior
- We implement OBS support in SoundFlow.
Frankly I think #2 is more likely to happen sooner, given that I've told Elgato about this numerous times over the past 18 months.
It shouldn't be a big change for us to have websockets support so we could support OBS Remote that way.- Andrew Scheps @Andrew_Scheps
But it looks like as an interim fix I could have two decks, one on each profile?
- Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2020-04-09 16:57:08.767Z
I think so - I haven't tested that approach. The Stream Deck app always finds ways to have bugs you wouldn't know existed so it wouldn't surprise me if this could also cause the nag screen behavior :/ So it's worth testing out but I can't say I'm 100% sure it would work.

Ah, maybe somebody with two or more decks could try it out and chime in.

Just out of curiosity: What's your deadline for getting it to work?
I would probably order a 2nd Stream Deck regardless, just because it's nice, even if it wouldn't work for this interim fix.
I bet we could add Websocket support over the weekend - I'm hosting an OBS event on Tuesday, so I guess it would be nice for me to have as well. But let's take this in the beta group perhaps :)- Andrew Scheps @Andrew_Scheps
No deadline, just getting things set up.

BTW, OBS is ridiculously cool and powerful, especially for the price!

This will be implemented in SoundFlow 3.6:
