desktop VS mullvadvpn-app

When visiting streamlabs.com, I am almost always sent through the setup process despite the fact that I've been through it multiple times. I have the desktop app and have even streamed unlisted videos as tests (everything seems fine from the app) but when I go on the website it won't acknowledge my yt account. The same is also true for my other settings like tipping; my tip URL still links to the tip page, yet the website doesn't think I've started setting any of that up. Please help, thank you!

nono i meant when i test out the widgets on streamlabs.com or whatever it pops up like it should on OBS or streamlabs the app for that matter, but the alerts don't pop up exclusively when I stream

I use a special font I purchased which is Sidefont. As I wrote it, the base64 URL I got from fontsquirrel works perfectly with streamlabs.com and streamelements alerts boxes. How can I create a shorter URL like you mentioned?

So I've used Streamlabs for a while now and have always ran into random issues with this but it has never really bugged me like it has recently. Ever since a few months ago when I set up my sponsor banner widget, it works perfectly for a week or two and then I go to stream and it just shows a generic "streamlabs" logo and text where my sponsors should be rotating. Upon checking the streamlabs.com dashboard where my widget's info should be saved, it shows a blank page and none of my settings are there so I am forced to start from scratch and completely re-add all of my sponsor images and re-do all of the associated settings. This is very frustrating as I have to now check these settings before every stream to make sure my alerts and sponsor bar are working properly. Please look into this and if anyone can offer a solution or reason as to why my settings are constantly being reset to default, please let me know. It also resets my settings for my alerts randomly as well.

I'm not sure what you break by chat dock, but I can share my solution. I use StreamLabs to display chat and follow animations. They provide a URL that you add to a Browser source in OBS.

If you're looking to record a long segment, like a YouTube video length, get either OBS or Streamlabs OBS. These allow you to add webcam overlays, etc etc. and for the regular OBS I'd recommend looking up a tutorial on how to set up a basic scene to record your screen, but it's straight forward enough. Streamlabs OBS comes with more overlays for streaming, if you're into that, and OBS is a bit more basic, but can be customised using coding languages and plugins I believe.

That setup should work for any software that can read from the 4K60 Pro. (OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop are both known to work.)

Whenever I launch the widget url in streamlabs.com it works just fine in that window but it doesn't show up at all in my desktop SLOBS

hey there, after doing some research it seems like the conclusion is your vpn. Nord VPN has a lack of port forwarding, while other vpns have port forwarding (proton, mullvad). that is most likely interrupting your speed. also, apparently nord does keep some sort of logs if your interested in that. i would recommend cancelling nord and getting something else like proton or mullvad (i would recommend proton more) if you really want to download movies/shows. another option for you (if you dont want to switch) is to find your movie on websites that don't require a vpn (aka not torrenting) but you can if you want to. you can use this for that, they have tons of movies and shows. or just use a streaming site off of the megathread.

The 500 MiB thing is because the frontend is an Electron app. That's sadly how it is with Electron. The UI can of course be re-written into a language/framework that produces way smaller programs, but it's not currently really worth the tradeoff. Most people are not that constrained in disk or internet speeds. https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1572

The downloads folder access thing is because Apple made it so. If you run an installer from the downloads folder it will need access to the downloads folder. This has nothing to do with Mullvad, but is a permission check macOS puts on all software. The Mullvad VPN app has no code for doing anything in the Downloads folder specifically.

Requiring an account for search is a deal breaker. They say they need it for payment, but mullvad[0] does just fine without an account as well.

From this post: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1570

I don't understand why the .rpm package of Mullvad VPN still only officially supports Fedora. This issue on GitHub has been open for almost three years now and there is even someone else trying to help you making the necessary changes to support openSUSE in this PR. I kinda agree with cornfeedhobo's sentiment that the necessary changes to make it work on openSUSE are being gated. I'm a paying user for quite some years already and made the switch to openSUSE and I'd really like to continue using Mullvad VPN there without having to force install the .rpm package and thus living with a lot of uncertainty about how well it will run.

It's just a false-positive. If you're still wary, feel free to review the source code of the app and you can even build it yourself: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/
