obs-kinect VS obs-websocket

You can add the Kinect as source in OBS using OBS-Kinect and set the stream type to infrared, then use the OBS virtual camera. (If the official OBS virtualcam isn't supported by opentrack, try the community virtualcam plugin instead, it tends to work better with some apps.)

Install OSB-Kinect https://github.com/SirLynix/obs-kinect/releases (and there was a new release for the first time since 2020 like 2 weeks ago, so thats cool)

A shitty temporary solution that worked for me was the obs Kinect plugin combined with obs virtual-cam

You can get the plugin for OBS (https://github.com/SirLynix/obs-kinect) then use OBS's 'virtual camera' functionality to be picked up as a source elsewhere (Discord, Zoom, etc)

use the obs-kinect plugin for OBS https://github.com/SirLynix/obs-kinect/releases then you can enable the OBS virtual camera.

Though, if you specifically want to use it as a virtual greenscreen. I would recommend going past this, and using the obs-kinect plugin available here https://github.com/SirLynix/obs-kinect/

https://github.com/SirLynix/obs-kinect/releases this will let you add the kinect as a source in obs

With pleasure, opened https://github.com/SirLynix/obs-kinect/issues/50 but feel free to close it. I'll receive notifications.

This started out of nowhere - and the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded the OBS Websocket Plugin, though I have it disabled.

I believe controlling a remote OBS instance can be done using the web socket plugin. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket

If you want to get really fancy, OBS websocket might be worth a look. You can then react to in-game events with some direct scene changes in OBS. There is basically no limit for your creativity.

The only tip I'd have would be for Wayland users who suffer from not having global shortcuts work with OBS: obs-cli with obs-websocket have you covered. Set a keyboard shortcut or Stream Deck button (using streamdeck-ui) to execute an obs-cli command and you're done.

In another topic it was also mentioned that there is a Legacy Websocket plugin to allow the original PCPanel software to still connect.

NDI is a video transport over network solution, NOT a remote control solution. If you want to change scene's over a network connection you'd want to look at something like obs-websockets - https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket OR something like Touch Portal - https://www.touch-portal.com/

Grab the OBS WebSocket 4.9.1 Compat plugin from GitHub. BarRaider's OBS tools doesn't support OBS 28's WebSocket version yet.

The original 4.9.1 doesn't work in OBS 28, which may be the issue. If you're on OBS 28.x and need websocket 4.x then make sure you're using 4.9.1-compat
