23.0.2

Fix bug with png not loading.

23.0.1

This release is synced to official obs-studio release 23.0.2 and master git head which includes a few other commits. (the tag is 23.0.1 though because 23.0.2 was cherry picked from master).
In addition to the previous features, many new features not included in official release are included:

• (new) Master Mixer , allowing one to see the levels of each mix used for obs outputs (this is OFF on default, you need to enable the Master Mixer in View > Docks)
• each output track in the Master Mixer can have audio filters, can be monitored; also selection of the tracks used for streaming / recording is easier thanks to two buttons on each volume meter.
• (new) the regular (input) mixer has been improved with new buttons, especially a Monitoring button (headphones) to toggle monitoring of the source. It is also possible to route easily each source to tracks 1-6 thanks to new buttons, avoiding having to open Advanced Audio Properties window.
• (new) browser source are now regular audio sources with a meter in Mixer.
• (new) improved dynamic bitrate : tighter presets and support for the new nvenc which works much better than other encoders; in my tests, this prevented all frame drops.
• (new) ffmpeg custom stream output as an alternative to standard streaming. This allows easy access to all the protocols supported by ffmpeg. This new output supports dynamic bitrate.
• (new) additional ffmpeg output in Tools menu : this allows one to have a third encoder in addition to Streaming/Recording outputs. This can be useful for people streaming to multiple services.
• (new) support for decklink output in ffmpeg outputs. This is an alternative to the recently added decklink output available under Tools Menu.
• (new) asio devices can now be global audio sources.
• the ffmpeg libs have been updated to git head as of mid february 2019.

The previous features are still available:

• multichannel up to 16 audio channels;
• dynamic bitrate (bitrate management in case of network congestion).
• asio support through portaudio library and GPL compatible open source SDK.
• Media Source additional demuxer options.

Note on Twitch panels:

• they are working but require that authentication be made with regular obs. After that they will be loaded by OBS-Studio MultiChannel (this fork).

Planned:

• details on the features in the Wiki

Note on macOS builds:

• due to issues with my mac, I am unable to provide macOS builds. If you want to donate me to acquire a mac for development, feel free to ping me (pkv.stream () gmail.com).

Known bugs:

• png is not loading (fixed in build 23.0.2)

22.0.1

On top of obs master additions this release has:

• support for up to 16 audio channels
• support for asio input ( GPL v2 compatible plugin)
• improvements for decklink : support for 32 bit audio and bugfixes for number of channels > 8
• multitrack support for ffmpeg output
• updated ffmpeg binaries with srt protocol (Haivision secure reliable transport)
  ** tested with wowza server

• improved Media Source: all ffmpeg demuxer options are available.

21.1.0

This release is rebased to obs master a705030 (June 27 2018).
On top of obs master additions this release has:

• improvements for decklink : support for 32 bit audio and bugfixes for number of channels > 8
• multitrack support for ffmpeg output
• updated ffmpeg binaries
  The other features are the same as previous releases (support for up to 16 audio channels, dynamic bitrate).

21.0.3

Dynamic Bitrate updated: more h264 encoders supported, manual tuning added.
Fix for Decklink for more than 8 channels.
For MacOs note that these builds with latest ffmpeg require a mac with recent CPU (>= skylake).

21.0.2

Update to Obs-Studio 21.
Surround support expanded (9 , 10 , 11 & 12 channel layouts added).
Dynamic bitrate support expanded to enc-amf, QSV.

20.1.3 Multichannel fork

ffmpeg binaries updated to latest dev branch of github.com/pkviet/FFmpeg (rebased to origin/master git head as of 11/22; my branch includes extended mpegts opus support for multichannel + channel layout bug fix).
If the macOS binary does not install, try the other 20.1.3 binary which has better compatibility.

20.1.3 macOS fix

Bundles with ffmpeg 3.2 instead of ffmpeg master for better compatibility.
V2 fixes an issue for devices with more than 8 audio channels, like Soundflower which can have 64ch.

20.1.1 Multichannel fork

For testing purpose.
This release corrects the ffmpeg libraries for proper support of libopus with mpegts.
The disabling of frame drops has been replaced by the possibility to have a much larger drop threshold (1 min instead of 700 ms before frame start being dropped).
The win x64 binaries are the release ones not the RelWithDeb ones; hence the decreased size of the exe.

20.1.0 MC fork (multichannel audio)

These binaries are released for testing purposes.
I have used them in prod without issues though.
For info on what these binaries do, check the Wiki.
The binaries come bundled with the browser module.
The exe installs 64 bit binaries for windows (tested on windows 10 pro x64).
The pkg is a macOs release (tested on Sierra 10.12.6).
For issues, post in the Issues section.
