electroncapture VS iPlug2

You can try using Electron Capture (https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture) to visit https://vdo.ninja/ with, and capture/send video that way. (If capturing your webcam via PC) Electron Capture has all throttling limits of Chrome disabled, so it might at least avoid any issue with that.

I use ElectronCapture which launches a browser that has no toolbars at all for capturing the full window and is easily scriptable.

Finally, you can use the Electron Capture app instead of OBS Browser source to capture VDO streams. I have compiled it with M1 silicon support, so it should be very efficient. From there, you can window-capture the Electron output into OBS -- it should use very little CPU in this case. https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture/releases/tag/2.6.0

Try this app if you are on Windows: https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture

If it works with Chrome, but not OBS, you can download the electron capture app and try that instead. https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture

The solution is to not use the OBS Browser source for audio capture. Instead, you can the app I provide to avoid these OBS issues, and that is the Electron Capture app. https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture

I offer the Electron Capture app (https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture), which is a substitute for the OBS browser source, and it solves both the audio and video glitch issues I mention on the main page. It uses a relatively recent version of Chromium, never glitches the audio or video, and can actually improve audio sync and reduce CPU load.

You could try the Electron Capture app perhaps as well, if you are looking for a different browser to try: https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture

If things still don't work, you can consider trying the Electron Capture app instead of the OBS Browser source. https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture While it may be more hassle to use, it tends to use less CPU, offer better audio and sync, and has fewer stream-killing bugs.

I've found good success using the Headless (NDI input) using vingester.app, assuming you have a decent CPU. The OBSN Electron app (as noted by Steve, obs.ninja creator) also works well: (https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture) . vMix Browser source seemed to eat up resources quicker that the two methods I mentioned previously. Let me know if you have any questions vs vmixcall. Also worth mentioning advanced.vmixcall.com is out of beta and available, though I can't remember if this is still limited to 720p.

I know you've mentioned loathing c++ but here is an easy library that combines some web elements into the whole vst world: https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2

If what you want is to make VST plugins, you're going to need a lot more. I've used the iplug/iplug2 framework: https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/tree/master/Examples/IPlugMidiEffect https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2
