OBS plugin
|
|
##########
|
|
|
|
You can add a Looking Glass video feed
|
|
to OBS as a video source with the included OBS plugin. This provides a
|
|
lower-latency alternative to capturing the Looking Glass client window
|
|
with a Screen or Window Capture source.
|
|
|
|
This may help improve your viewers' experience watching your stream, and
|
|
allows you to use your host without them seeing.
|
|
|
|
Build Instructions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The OBS plugin is included in the main source tree of Looking Glass. The
|
|
building process is very similar to the
|
|
:ref:`client's <looking_glass_client>`.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The OBS plugin requires the following extra dependencies alongside the
|
|
:ref:`client's build
|
|
dependencies <installing_build_dependencies>`.
|
|
|
|
- libobs-dev
|
|
|
|
Please install this package or the equivalent in your package manager... code:: bash
|
|
|
|
apt-get install libobs-dev
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _obs_building:
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
These instructions are the same as when building the
|
|
:ref:`client <client_building>`.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir obs/build
|
|
cd obs/build
|
|
cmake ../
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The resulting liblooking-glass-obs.so file should be placed in your OBS
|
|
plugin directory.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/looking-glass-obs/bin/64bit
|
|
cp liblooking-glass-obs.so ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/looking-glass-obs/bin/64bit
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can select the *"Looking Glass Client"* source from
|
|
the OBS sources menu. The configuration only requires the IVSHMEM file
|
|
that is used by the VM, and this is pre-populated with the default
|
|
filename for Looking Glass.

|

The plugin is made for OBS, an open source streaming and recording
|
|
studio. Find out more at https://obsproject.com/
|
