  • Android 14 adds support for using your smartphone as a webcam
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Sep 2023
    Quite tangential, but during lockdown I was looking for a way to use my iPhone as a webcam and came across this project:

    https://vdo.ninja/

    It started out as being a means to send a video feed into OBS[1], which is how I rigged the webcam input, but as the project grew, it expanded to being a way for me to spin up desktop video and audio sharing in a browser, sorta like Zoom, etc. This let me run virtual movie nights with people remotely.

    Whilst it's possible to use it via the 'create a room' interface, you can also do it all via URL parameters which I found much more flexible and robust. See here[2].

    You create source and recipient URLs and then it just automagically makes it all work via WebRTC. I was able to for example make a source that captured my VLC window and sent out the video and audio, and then two destination URLs which received the source video and audio, but also sent their own audio to one another. This meant we could hear the and watch a movie but also talk to each other via our microphones.

    I've got no relation to this project besides thinking it's really awesome.

  • Streaming Highschool Sports - Need Help and Recommendations
    1 project | /r/obs | 26 Jun 2023
    I plan on streaming highschool sports at my school next year and would like some recommendations on what to do. I have a canon rebel T7I which I plan on using for telephoto shots, a camera for broadcasters, and plan on using my phone and vdo.ninja to get a full field view. We are operating on not the biggest budget because most of it is going towards a laptop. My biggest issue right now is trying to figure out how to make the stream more visually appealing in terms of graphics, sports bugs, and score board overlays. Are there any free programs for that? What do you recommend? Any other feedback or changes you would make in terms of the rest of my plan?
  • [LFG] Looking for older amateur/beginners in Europe for stoner rock

    Our collaboration software might look something like Sonobus and vdo.ninja for live jamming (if we're close enough), Discord or Whatsapp for chatting, maybe Area for reviewing mix-downs, and Bandlab for stem-sharing (Reaper too, if you've got it). I'm open to all suggestions. I'm also interested in learning how to use something like Sonic Sound Picture to do visualisations, or maybe creating AI generated animations, if deciding to upload anything to YT.

    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.
  • Is there a DAW or VST that can stream input from over the network (REST request)?
    4 projects | /r/audioengineering | 26 Feb 2022
    I use ElectronCapture which launches a browser that has no toolbars at all for capturing the full window and is easily scriptable.
  • OBS Ninja feed overtaxing new M1 Pro Macbook 32gb
    1 project | /r/VDONinja | 12 Jan 2022
    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
  • I am trying to record websites showing live tv, but sometimes OBS blacks it out. I tried reinstalling OBS one time and it worked, but then went black again. What's up?

    Try this app if you are on Windows: https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture
  • Video Won't show up on OBS

    If it works with Chrome, but not OBS, you can download the electron capture app and try that instead. https://github.com/steveseguin/electroncapture
  • Audio Drops Mid-Stream - Please Help!
    3 projects | /r/OBSNinja | 27 Sep 2021
    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
  • Video Glitching warnings - that for webcam only mainly or we also talking about during screen share?
    2 projects | /r/VDONinja | 22 Sep 2021
    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
  • Very Low Frame Rate
    1 project | /r/OBSNinja | 15 Jun 2021
    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.
  • OBS Ninja as an input into vMIX
    2 projects | /r/OBSNinja | 11 May 2021
    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.
