| − | == | + | [[File:Looking-Glass-OBS-Source-Add.png|thumb|Adding the plugin as a video source]] |

| + | |||
| + | If you're streaming your guest's games from your host and are using Looking Glass, there is a plugin available for OBS to stream video directly from Looking Glass. This avoids the overhead from recording the Looking Glass client, which reduces latency to your fans. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Build Instructions === | ||
| + | The OBS plugin is included in the main source tree of Looking Glass, and is very similar to building the [[Installation#Looking_Glass_Client|client]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Dependencies ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The OBS plugin requires the following extra dependencies | ||
| + | * libobs-dev | ||
| + | |||
| + | Please install this package or the equivalent in your package manager. | ||
| + | <!--TODO: Look at different OS' repos to find package names like the client install--> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Building ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | These instructions are the same as when building the [[Installation#Building|client]] | ||
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash> | <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> | ||
| − | + | mkdir obs/build | |
| + | cd obs/build | ||
| + | cmake ../ | ||
| + | make | ||
</syntaxhighlight> | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
| − | == | + | === Installation === |
| + | |||
| + | The resulting liblooking-glass-obs.so file should be placed in your OBS plugin directory. | ||
| + | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash> | <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> | ||
| − | + | mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/looking-glass-obs/bin/64bit | |
| + | cp liblooking-glass-obs.so ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/looking-glass-obs/bin/64bit | ||
</syntaxhighlight> | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
| − | == | + | === Setup === |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Once installed, you can select the '"Looking Glass Client"' source from the OBS sources menu. The configuration only requires the IVSHMEM file that is used by the VM, and this is pre-populated with the default filename for Looking Glass. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | == Open Broadcaster Software == | |
| + | The plugin is made for OBS, an open source streaming and recording studio. Find out more at https://obsproject.com/ | ||
| − | + | It's available under most distributions under 'obs-studio' or just 'obs'. | |
