This work-in-progress plugin aims to provide professional-grade instant-replay functionality in OBS for use in live e-sports and other events. A list of features anticipated for the plugin is below:
Essential functionality:
- OBS Filter to select 'clippable' sources
- Multiple clip slots
- Live feed and clip buffer preview window
- Live clip mark and scrub capability
- JPEG/CPU based frame encoding to increase clippable time.
Potential future capabilities:
- Hardware encoding support (Built on OBS' existing encoding support)
- Custom hardware replay operator's console
- Networked clipping (Separate replay operators' PC)
This project is not yet ready for release, and is intended to release at SouthLANder 2024, a UK LAN e-sports event. As such, I will not be releasing pre-built binaries until after this date. If you would like to build the plugin yourself, it follows a similar process to other plugins built on the OBS plugin template (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate)
This plugin is built and maintained by Alex Thomas ([email protected]). If you would like to help with the development project I would be delighted to have you on board, please reach out to me there or on Discord (@mlto), orfeel free to submit pull requests to this repository as well.
