dimtpap / obs-pipewire-audio-capture Goto Github PK

I use Audio/Duplex devices for routing a bunch of inputs (e.g. microphone -> REAPER -> Duplex In; Duplex Out -> Discord), described here. These are not currently detected by this plugin.

I suspect the change would just be adding another condition to this bit of code: || strcmp(media_class, "Audio/Duplex") == 0

I tried to add some Applications but the plugins shows me only kwin_wayland, obs, wireplumber or xdg-desktop-portal.
I have several application opened as Firefox, Brave and Discord but I can't see any of them.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you very much for obs-pipewire-audio-capture 🙇 It has resolved several audio-related issues in my OBS Studio setup and helped simplify my scene/source composition.

Feature Request

When adding an Application Audio Capture (PipeWire) source, include the capability to Capture all apps but exclude multiple apps.

Rationale

With this capability added it would be possible to:

• Add an Application Audio Capture (PipeWire) and exclude Spotify and Discord.
• Spotify and Discord can then be added as discrete Application Audio Capture (PipeWire) sources and managed via OBS independently of all other audio output.

Hello!

Since you fixed my last issue so quickly, I can now use the plugin!

It works well, except, I can't really tell what I'm recording without trial-and-error.

See the following input lists for Application Capture:

https://github.com/bozbez/win-capture-audio
I found the UI and features of the latest beta build for this to be incredibly useful, and I was wondering if you would be able to add something similar? It basically had a list of programs you could specify, and you could set them all to either exclude, or include. I recommend firing up a windows 10/11 vm just to understand how it works in full.

When using the plugin, it works beautifully, although it's a bit cluttered to see PulseAudio and then PipeWIre audio selectors rather than just PipeWire.
My suggestion is to hide the PulseAudio options when the plugin is in use.

Unrelated suggestion: add a note to put the plugin inside of ~/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugins/ if using the flatpak of OBS Studio.

The audio on "Application Audio Capture (PipeWire)" is cutting in and out and crackling. The desktop audio track on that same recording is perfectly fine. The issue occurs with other applications/games including native games through non-flatpak steam.

PopOS 22.04 LTS
OBS (30.0.2, Flatpak)
pipewire-audio-capture (1.1.2)
Halo Infinite (Proton-GE 8, Steam Flatpak)

(Youtube seems to be editing the audio in some way because most of the crackling is gone but the gaps in the audio are still clear.)
Example: https://youtu.be/kXzIXV-Cfgc

Is possible to implement a flag that inverts the functionality excluding an application to be recorded?
I saw that option in this windows plugin

Thanks

Additionally; the plugin doesn't load if placed in ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/ and only seems to load if placed in /usr/lib/obs-plugins/ but I can't find any reasoning for why this is occurring anywhere in the official documentation.

When I try to setup my microphone through this plugin, the "Default" and "Blue Snowball" works, but when I try to select "Voice Modulation Source", I still hear the regular unaltered microphone.

When I close OBS and restart it after tying to select "Voice Modulation Source", I hear absolutely nothing until I go into the options and manually pick "Default" or "Blue Snowball" again.

Attempting to re-select "Voice Modulation Source" afterwards does not properly start capturing the proper audio.

OBS's default PulseAudio handling (as well as PulseAudio itself in every other program), JACK (tested in Audacity), etc work fine.

I am streaming video from games. Before i used virtual card from pipewire. Now trying this plugin, but after 3:30 minutes sound disappearing.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1533647249?t=0h3m17s
from 3:30 no sound

Trying change input source, but not help. And no indication for sound in mixer.

As the title says, Application Audio will not detect a program unless audio is playing, meaning that if a game mutes its audio while not the active window, it will not be detected

Hello! I'm really new to Linux (Manjaro) so please bear with my stupidity. Installed via binary to ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/ only other plugin is StreamFX, Input/Output capture works, application capture shows no activity in OBS. Tried recording anyway with clementine, firefox (youtube), and a random game, sadly no sound. Is there an additional package I need? All pipewire packages installed at the moment https://imgur.com/a/OhMrT5P , or am I simply doing something wrong?

I installed the plugin in OBS but when I try to add a source if I press the arrow no application appear.
Do I need something that I'm missing?

I am using the obs-pipewire-audio-capture plugin in OBS Studio, but it is not outputting any audio. I have selected it as an audio input source, but no audio is being captured or outputted.

OBS Studio - 28.1.2-2 (linux)

Here is a clip of my most recent stream:
https://youtu.be/dJd_FcjqK6Y

I'm capturing the audio of Discord while being in a call to add the audio of the other participants to the stream. The sound very frequently sounds robotic from this one source. This is the case in both the stream and in the recording.

System info: running Pipewire and Wireplumber on Linux Mint

There is only symbolic link to plugin in release archive (tried versions 0.2.4 and 0.2.3). There is no actual file

So This is on a new fresh install of the OS, I had this on my previous install and did a new install to see if I could recreate it. So, within 21 minutes of recording I get this audio cut out, it also happens later on around 40 minutes. and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this before?

While having 2 separate Application Audio Capture sources (one for game audio and another for Firefox) one or both will cut out entirely forcing me to have to reset OBS mid stream.

Scenario 1: start game 1 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1611910/Warhammer_40000_Chaos_Gate__Daemonhunters/) via Steam Proton, start obs, select application source, game is not listed in dropdown as game pauses everything including audio when not focused.

Scenario 2: start game 2 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1604030/V_Rising/) via Steam Proton, start obs, select application source, game is listed in dropdown as does not pause, audio playback (music) continues when not focused.

Workaround: offer optional setting in plugin that allows selection of applications currently not playing audio?

Hello,

OBS crashes to desktop (Fedora 36) whenever I try to add one of these pipewire sources.

Here's the error (only shown when OBS run from terminal):

[E] pw.context [pipewire.c:256 load_spa_handle()] load lib: plugin directory undefined, set SPA_PLUGIN_DIR
[E] pw.loop [loop.c:83 pw_loop_new()] 0x560b08944810: can't make support.system handle: No such file or directory
'obs' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Downloaded the plugin and it opens just fine, using PipeWire.

When loading the games: Tropico 6, Grandia 2 and booting up obs, no programs show up in the application field, and pressing the drop down arrow doesn't show anything.

I built this plugin yesterday for my OBS build on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and the results of sudo make install copied linux-pipewire-audio.so to /usr/lib/obs-plugins/ instead of to /usr/lib64/obs-plugins/, resulting it the plugin not showing up in obs. Moving it manually to the proper location resolved the issue for me, but the build script probably needs to be updated to place this in the proper directory (or the instructions need to be updated to explain how to tell it the proper location).

So i have setup a few virtual devices but none of them can be captured (virt. speakers and mics)
So i use this config for virt. speakers in pipewire.conf.d:

context.objects = [
    {   factory = adapter
        args = {
            factory.name     = support.null-audio-sink
            node.name        = "phone"
            media.class      = Audio/Sink
            audio.position   = [ FL FR ]
            adapter.auto-port-config = {
                mode = dsp
                monitor = true
                position = preserve
            }
        }
    }
]

for virt. mics i use the config:

context.objects = [
    {   factory = adapter
        args = {
            factory.name     = support.null-audio-sink
            node.name        = "micmirror"
            media.class      = Audio/Source/Virtual
            audio.position   = [ FL FR ]
            adapter.auto-port-config = {
                mode = dsp
                monitor = true
                position = preserve
            }
        }
    }
]

Here is my obs log:
2024-01-13 10-28-03.txt
And here is my pipewire setup, but its a bit messy and complex because i use a gaming and streaming pc and send the audio from the gaming pc to the streaming pc:

As it says in the Title i seams that none of the virtual devices get selected, i can select alsa devices just fine.
Well to be exact selecting one of these virtual devices works in the obs plugin gui but it wont spawn anything in the pw graph.
Also when i then close the obs plugin gui it reverts to the last setting if a virtual device was selected.
There seemed to to a similar issue but I am on ne newest version of this plugin (1.1.2-2; build with the aur package) i also tryed the version 1.1.2 from github. Im on OBS version 30.0.2 (from the aur obs-studio-tytan652). If you need any more logs just say so. Any help is welcome.

I am trying to add Mumble as a source but is not working, it add the track on the audio mixer but the track is dead, others apps are working fine. I tried in Artix Linux and Pop OS 20.04, pipewire versión 0.3.56 and wirepumbler 0.4.11 in both cases. Mumble on Pop OS is 1.4.230 (flatpak) and 1.4.230 on Artix.

When I attach a debugger to obs, for as long as I don't resume execution, I can no longer hear the audio of captured apps through my speakers/headphones.
This can also be replicated by sending SIGSTOP to obs (i.e pkill -e obs -STOP and pkill -e obs -CONT).

System info

distro: Arch Linux (x86-64)
kernel: Linux 6.6.1-arch1
obs: 30.0.0

Hello! I have noticed that when a non-default sink is selected, or if the sink is changed after OBS is opened, audio isn't recorded at all (and I noticed the hard way: I recorded a whole interview with no audio...). This is reproducible 100% of the time and with any sink. Sometimes the issue is seen when changing the sink after OBS is started, sometimes even if it is changed before OBS is started, which makes understanding what's going on really difficult.

I am using PipeWire 1.0 with WirePlumber (no difference is seen when using pipewire-media-session) from the PipeWire PPA related to this project on KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu 22.04).

Here are the OBS logs:
2023-12-05 11-29-09.txt

Here is the output of pw-dump:
pw-dump.json

Here is a screen recording that showcases the issue:

Any idea what might be going on?

Crypt of the Necrodancer has a linux version (https://store.steampowered.com/app/247080/Crypt_of_the_NecroDancer/) but for some reason it doesnt display when I try to select it as an audio source, this doesnt happen with other native linux games like Half-Life 2 or L4D2.
In other hand, when you run the game using proton then you can select it as an audio source just fine.

Not sure if intentional but should be documented somewhere because it is confusing. The current newest release 1.0.5 loads as a plugin according to the obs log but doesn't add any new sources. With the 1.0.4 release I see the new sources. This is probably related to the obs version I am on which is 27.2.4-2 from the arch linux package which isn't updated to 28 yet.

Hello!

Since Fedora 36 updated to a WirePlumber combination that hides window titles (for security, supposedly) -- this leads to a lot of usability dysfunction for audio applications which only use the Window Title.

Could you consider adding either the process ID or sink/source ID to the dropdown?

This would then make them uniquely selectable, and fix the lacking window title issue.

For example:

List with Process IDs

10390: firefox
10513: firefox
10543: firefox
10618: firefox
11552: firefox
11577: firefox
21722: firefox
23761: firefox
23984: firefox
54638: firefox
54978: firefox
59980: firefox
140376: firefox
197235: firefox
287802: firefox
315014: firefox
315089: firefox
315117: firefox
315199: firefox
505970: firefox
509860: firefox
510132: firefox
519859: firefox
520027: firefox
520110: firefox

List with Source IDs

This solution is less useful to end-users, who are often not aware of source IDs in Wireplumber, but this would still allow the selection of unique processes. I prefer the Process ID solution above, but maybe only SourceIDs are available within the API context... which would still be an acceptable workaround.

04: firefox
07: firefox
09: firefox
10: firefox

Offering a Flathub distributed package would make this plugin easier to install for the OBS Flatpak.

obsproject/obs-studio#6207 doesn't appear like it will be ready to merge any time soon, so it would be valuable to simplify the installation & update experience for users.

See https://github.com/flathub/com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.OBSVkCapture for an example of a plugin published to Flathub.

Thinking it be neat if there was a list box in this plugin and you could allow or block apps via button that adds it to a list which has Application/processname with allowed or blocked to the right of it depending on which button you pressed (Allow/Block buttons).

Maybe this would also be good for being able to include apps/processes into the list that are not present in the auto detect system?

Hello!

So, I have both Pipewire and Wireplumber (a standard Fedora 36 workstation).

It doesn't seem to matter what application source I put in OBS, it records all of my system audio.

Regardless of the comment in #8, this also happens with multiple applications.

On old build plugin show app or game name, now show "wine64-preloader", can you add option to choose how to display.

Add function to choose sound source without open properties, add here

Thank you very much for obs-pipewire-audio-capture 🙇 It has resolved several audio-related issues in my OBS Studio setup and helped simplify my scene/source composition.

Expected behaviour

When adding an Application Audio Capture (PipeWire) source and checking Capture all apps except this one, the option will persist across restarts of OBS Studio.

Actual behaviour

When adding an Application Audio Capture (PipeWire) source and checking Capture all apps except this one, it is only effective for the current OBS Studio session. Upon restarting OBS Studio Capture all apps except this one is unchecked and needs to be re-enabled.

Configuration

• OBS Studio 28.0.1
• obs-pipewire-audio-capture 1.0.4
• Ubuntu MATE 22.04.1
  • pipewire 0.3.48
  • wireplumber 0.4.8

PipeWire was manually installed as follows:

apt-get install gstreamer1.0-pipewire pipewire-audio-client-libraries wireplumber

Thanks! Grateful for everyone who worked on this :-)

Hello and thank you for this plugin.

Is it possible to make it in the source filters, in case of I want to output the sound of a source before or after other plugin in the filters list? And make this output persistent (not disappearing when the media/source is not played).

I'm using OBS 27.2.4.

I use the application audio capture but it is reading from my desktop audio instead. as in i select it to only take audio from discord. it will take audio from discord but also spotify and any other application i have open.

Forum and Readme claims OBS minimum verseion required is 28, but 29.1.3 fails with the error

warning: obs_register_source: Tried to register obs_source_info with size 408 which is more than libobs currently supports (400)

while no such issue exists in 30.0.2.

I don't know if this is even possible, so feel free to close if it's not.

Could you render volume (such as shown in the mixer), in the source select dialog?

This would help users identify which process is making sound, such as for #11 .

"Change source until meters start responding" is a very simple user workflow.

The plugin does not show any applications, despite pipewire, wireplumber, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-jack, and pipewire-alsa being installed. Is there something else that I'm missing?

@dimtpap

Are you using a Pro Audio profile?

Yes.

Currently it doesn't work with that so if possible switch to another one. If you are using such profile please open another issue about it

PipeWire + Wireplumber + EasyEffects on Artix Linux with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 set to Pro Audio.

There doesnt seem to be any way to do it without duplicating the audio which is not preferable.
Maybe this already is possible so correct me if im wrong.

Used this plug-in as an attempt to have something such as "win audio" but no audio was being played back. Note, I use easyeffects and helvum.

Operating System is Fedora Workstation 36
Pipewire version is 0.3.49
System uses x86_64 architecture

How to replicate:

1. Boot up obs
2. Add application audio input

In the flatpak version of OBS unless its given --filesystem=xdg-run/pipewire-0 permission the plugin will fail when adding a new audio capture with the following error:

warning: [pipewire] Error creating PipeWire core
error: Failed to create source 'Application Audio Capture (PipeWire)'!

I'm not an expert on the Linux audio stack, and I don't know if there is some limitation regarding pipewire audio access through xdg-portal (i checked that easyeffects flatpak also has this permission granted) but in that case it would be good to include this workaround on the README until this gets merged on the main OBS repository.

Issue

When a PipeWire source pointing to an application is added and there's audio playing, the incoming sink is fine. But if I change the output device using a control app like pavucontrol, your PipeWire plugin loses the feed.

Workaround

Removing the audio source and adding it again forces your plugin to "refresh" the source, and it comes back

Why did you write this

I actually wanted a per-app plugin for the longest time. THANK YOU for making it!

(edited to clarify)

So, using the provided package for this, it doesn't work at all, the plugin doesn't even load, OBS doesn't even acknowledge its existence in the console. When loading it the binary way, absolutely no audio what so ever gets recorded or streamed. Not sure what to do for it, I am using wireplumber.
