OBS Studio 19.0.3 19.0.3 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * When an audio device in audio settings is changed to different device, all of its secondary settings are now preserved (volume, sync offset, downmix to mono, mixer, properties, filters). Note that this does not apply if the audio device is disabled. * Fixed an issue where Oculus Rift games wouldn't capture properly with game capture on Windows * Fixed a case where the bandwidth test could potentially overestimate bandwidth in the auto-configuration tool * Fixed an issue where remote video via the media source could have artifacting * Fixed some cases where the media source wouldn't properly display the last frame when "Hide source when playback ends" is unchecked * Fixed some cases where the media source could cause the program to freeze when using a remote video URL * Fixed a design flaw where the stats window would reset all its values when opened for the first time
OBS Studio 19.0.2 19.0.2 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Fixed a startup crash with older AMD drivers when using the 32bit version of OBS. Please update your video drivers! * Fixed a bug that caused Freetype 2 text sources to stop rendering properly on windows * Fixed an issue with NVENC not initializing properly for some people on older drivers * Fixed a tooltip that's supposed to show when you hover over "prefer hardware encoding" in the auto-configuration wizard 19.0.1 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Fixed a bug where the auto-configuration wizard would sometimes not save settings * Fixed a bug where if you press cancel/back while connecting during a bandwidth test the program would freeze indefinitely * Fixed a bug where unintentional whitespace would not be removed from the end of the stream key, and would cause connection to fail when performing a bandwidth test with the auto-configuration wizard * Fixed an issue where the AMD encoder would no longer be usable in the 64bit version * Fixed a crash when using certain lossless RGB media files with the new media source 19.0 General Changes -------------------- * Added an auto-configuration wizard to the tools menu and on first-time use, which will attempt to automatically test and configure video/encoding/streaming settings based upon your system and internet connection. This wizard is currently in beta and may be subject to change, feedback is appreciated. * Added a stats dialog to the view menu (with the option to show it on start it up in general settings). The stats dialog shows advanced statistics, such as: average frame rendering time, frames lost due to encoding/rendering/network lag, HDD space left in recording location, and how much data has been output total. * Added a "Render Delay" filter that allows delaying non-async video sources such as display capture or window capture. Note this is only meant for minor sync adjustments (e.g. syncing your screen capture to a webcam), and because the delayed frames are stored on very limited VRAM, the allowable maximum delay is 500 milliseconds (which is 250 megabytes of VRAM on a 1 F6EF 080p 60 FPS source) * Added the ability to copy and paste filters between sources * Added Ctrl-E as a shortcut to edit transform of sources * Added a command line option to start as always on top (--always-on-top) * Added a "shuffle" option to the VLC video source * Added the ability to copy and paste sources (with transforms) from one scene to another * Added specific error messages displayed to the user when fail to connect * Added an option to the blackmagic source that allows you to specify the channel format * Added the ability to project a source, scene, or the preview on to a resizable window in the right-click context menu when right-clicking on sources or the preview * Reworked the media source: media files set to activate when switching to a scene will now immediately start play back when you switch to their scene without requiring time to load * Reworked the media source: media files will now loop properly with no abnormalities in sound playback * Fixed a bug where scenes could be unintentionally lost under specific crash circumstances (backup files were always present, but were not being used -- this is now fixed) * Fixed an issue where the blackmagic source can start up or spontaneously go out of sync * Fixed dragging and dropping text files to create a text source on non-windows systems * Fixed a bug where devices outputting NV12 (e.g. Logitech BRIO cams) would have distorted colors * Fixed a bug where frame dropping would not happen properly when using the ultrafast x264 preset * Fixed a bug from 18.0.2 where "downmix to mono" would no longer save * Fixed a potential crash under specific circumstances when OBS is set to minimize to task tray * When dragging and dropping text files to create a source, those sources will now have the same name as the text file being dropped * All dialogs should now have close buttons (useful on certain window managers such as gnome) * Filter names are now sorted when adding new filters 19.0 Windows Changes -------------------- * Added an option to disable audio ducking on windows, now on by default. Prevents the system from lowering volume of programs when the mic is activated by OBS * Added HEVC recording support to the AMD encoder * Added Two-Pass and Full-Range color support to the AMD encoder * The AMD Encoder has been completely rewritten from scratch for improved stability, performance and new features. All advanced configurations will break due to this change * The cursor will now be hidden when you are alt-tabbed out of the captured game/window when using window or game capture * Fixed an issue where the device source would activate on startup even when it's in another scene and set to deactivate when not visible * Fixed and clarified window capture prioritization. "Title" will now match any window of the exact window title, "class" will try to find a window by the title otherwise match any window of the same window type, and "exe" will match any window of the same title or if not found any window of the same program. * Fixed a crash when using QSV to encode * Fixed a bug where log files wouldn't be created when the current windows user had unicode characters in the name * Fixed an issue with the AMD encoder which would make it difficult to seek on certain file types * (Repeating 18.0.2 in case it was missed) Fixed poor game capture performance with some DirectX 9 games on the Windows 10 "Creator's Update" as well as some cases Windows 7 19.0 Linux Changes ------------------ * Added the auto scene switcher to linux * Fixed a potential crash in the settings dialog 19.0 Mac Changes ---------------- * Fixed an issue where you would not always be able to select all available fonts in the text source
