Connecting pc to 4k tv

So when i plug my tv in it gets detected but it doesn't display; its 4k at what i thought to be 120hz but when i change the refresh rate from 60hz to 30hz in the Nvidia control panel, it displays no problem. Anyway to get a higher refresh rate to work? Maybe switch to display port? i have 3 high speed HDMIs running through 2 extenders.

CBR vs CQP for "Streaming", which is better? (Why not CQP?)

Hello Everyone, I've been trying to find a technical answer to why it is often not advised to use CQP for streaming? In theory if there are no issues it would result in a better and consistent quality right? ...

SRT server settings need to reduce lag

So I got a Windows server OS VDS and set up OBS there. I tested it with 2 SRT clients and see latency from 3to4 seconds from them. So I have some questions regarding this issue 1 do i need ffmpeg custom install or obs has it up to date and fully set up? 2 can i reduce that 4sec lag from client with some srt line arguments? on srvers side...

Running Linux OBS; PipeWire Window Capture sources always ask for permission on launch

For each source of type Window Capture (PipeWire) I have configured in a scene collection, one of these "Share Screen" prompts pops up, asking for permission to share an application's video with OBS. Checking "Remember this selection" has no effect on this behavior. Is there some way to automatically grant permission to share screen with OBS? It's cumbersome to essentially re-add the window capture every time I want to record. ...

4090+7950x obs settings for 1080p

I just want the more or less best settings for this the reason I ask for 1080p is because I have a 540hz monitor that only goes upto 1080p so I figure looking for settings for 4k to be somewhat useless.

Virtual Server (aka Intel VDS\VPS) for streaming events

Hello! I just wandering will it be possible to stream using VPS\VDS with intel 2+ cores CPU no GPU? So for example 1st PC with GPU will stream to twitch channel and 2nd PC (the VPS) will use that twitch channel in OBS like browser source and then stream it to channel I need. So there is no need to use my own pc all day long if I will stream all day long (like marathon runs)

Push to Talk in discord cutting out - OS Windows 11

Recently upgraded my pc from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (in place upgrade) things were ok or so I thought. While talking to my friends in discord they kept telling me my mic was cutting out. Using voice activation works but I prefer PTT. PTT still works flawlessly on a separate Windows 10 machine. I have tried the following steps to resolve the issue. I tried different PTT buttons, it doesn't make a difference....

Video Settings

Hello guys, I game on a 1440p monitor and I stream on twitch, I currently have my base and output canvas set to 1920x1080. Should I change base output to 1440p and downscale to 1080p or lower ? Or do I leave both at 1080? I have been getting a lot of FPS drops on apex legends when I stream and I don’t know if due to this. Also in my windows graphic settings (attached) do i run Obs on the GPU or CPU? My logs from my last two streams are attached Specs. ...

Greenscreen Question

If I were to record my gameplay and camera separately (using Atium Vertical for this). How would the workflow for this work? I wanted to keep the game and camera separate for thumbnails and a bit more editing freedom. My question is that if I am using a greenscreen, I would key it out in post right? My intuition is thinking that with both pieces of footage wouldn't layer onto of one another. The camera would just be w/ a "black background" instead of a green one...

Encoding for an IRL programme

Hi, I'm streaming a show that uses a hardware vision mixer to mix cameras together, then OBS will stream this and any other videos we wish to play to YouTube. We have an i5 13600k and RTX 3060Ti. How can I ensure that I am getting the highest quality possible, particularly for irl content rather than gaming content? I guess I'm asking more for YouTube specific settings rather than OBS ones, as I'm pretty sure I know what I'd do just for regular encoding. The reason I ask is that YouTube is quite nebulous with its technical specifications. I only recently learned that although YouTube will accept videos at 50fps and 25fps, it won't accept streams at these, and will do some horrific attempt at frame blending! Which is a shame as we are UK based, but now we know, we can plan for that....

auto adjust project settings to the first clip

my issue is that I need to adjust the resolution of the project settings every time for each project since my videos have weird resolutions since they come from social media. It's really annoying to first check the resolution with media info of the video and then adjust it by hand in resolve. Is there an easy way that resolve just picks the right resolution for the first clip I import? It can do that for FPS for some reason but not for resolutions....

4k stream + Record + 1080p Stream

Hey, I was wondering how exactly to set this up in OBS. I am using the Vertical plugin (just so that I can get a 2nd stream), but I don't know if it's actually necessary anymore with version 30.1.1. I have heard mixed things about how much bitrate you need to use for AV1 at 4k. I know that Youtube says you can go up to 51k or something super high up. I have great upload speed so I am not worried about that. My NVME's are in a raid0 so they shouldn't have any problems with write speed. I'll toss in my settings, I think it should work in theory, but I can't be sure and I haven't seen anyone really do it before....

Passthrough not working HD60x Dual PC Streaming

So I am trying to use the passthrough feature with dual pc streaming, but obs is picking up a signal as if its an extended display (2nd monitor) instead of passing through whats on my gaming pc (1st Monitor). I have my HDMI cable connected from GPU to HDMI In (capture card), USB to streaming PC, HDMI Out (capture card) to Main Monitor (1st Monitor, Zowie XL2540k) and obs is still outputting the 2nd monitor. I had fps issues with just using only hdmi in and cloning the display, and thats why I'm trying to get passthrough to work....
