Question / Help Craftboard + OBS

[Ragnos]

Hey folks,

i got some problems not directly with OBS, but with OBS in combination with CraftBoard, an OverlayTool for competetive plays. Both tools are working pretty well, but i can't make them work together.

You can download CraftBoard here.

The point is, i can't capture it via Game Capture since it's no D3D/OGL-Application i guess. So i used the Image-Mode provided by CraftBoard, so it generates a PNG-Image i can use to put it into a diashow. This Image is updated instantly if there is an update. Setting this diashow on 5 seconds transitiontime, it should refresh every 5 seconds. But, and there's my point, it does not. Simply because it's only one single PNG i guess.

So, is there any way to make the diashow refresh any 5 seconds regardless of the count of images? I know it's not the best way to do such things, but i'm not that good at programming. To program a plugin to integrate a leaderboard would be quite impossible for me. And making CraftBoard work with D3D/OGL would need an entire coderewrite i guess.

Would be nice to hear a word on this! :)

If I understand correctly, CraftBoard generates a overwrites a png image whenever it is updated when it's in Image mode?

I know the tool Xsplit Panel Writer works similarly, and in Xsplit, you have to add the image that gets updated to a looping slideshow with 1 item, and the image gets reloaded when the slideshow loops. Are you trying to do that in OBS, but the slideshow does not reload the image?

I'm adding support for image change detection.

Correctly, an PNG picture is updated as soon as needed.

Great to hear there will be an update for this, thanks a lot! :)

I believe this feature is in 467a test 2, which is now available for download. Right click (or double click) on an image source in the sources box and check the "Check for changes" box to tell OBS to update this file as soon as there is a change.

It doesnt work for me :/

Shall I get the old test build you mentioned?

I try to put in an image slideshow with png-s in it, which refresh in an interval, but they doesn't and I can't see an option for it, nor does the double click work for checking.

Thanks in advance

You're saying this box doesn't exist or isn't clickable?

EDIT: I just realized you're putting it into a slideshow...you don't need a slideshow, just a normal image source.
