Very simple example of obs-studio-node usage

Setup

yarn install

Run

yarn start

or use F5 in Visual Studio Code.

Current state

It launches, initializes OBS Studio and lets you press "Start recording" button. On recording it captures your desktop video, audio, and microphone to the video file in videos/ subfolder. Look at main process' console output.

See this topic on how to solve black screen on laptops with two video cards.

Out of the box it works only on Windows.

Code of interest

Most of the interesting things are located in obsRecorder.js. Some snippets are taken verbatim from obs-studio-node tests and streamlabs-obs source code, but some are results of experiments.

Run on MacOS

Change link to obs-studio-node in your package.json to include version of package built for MacOS:

 "obs-studio-node": "https://obsstudionodes3.streamlabs.com/obs-studio-node-0.5.215-iojs-v6.0.3-osx-release.tar.gz",

And execute yarn:

yarn install

May be it will work, may be not.

Use with your own build of obs-studio-node

Build it somewhere (look at the docs first)

git clone https://github.com/stream-labs/obs-studio-node.git
cd obs-studio-node
yarn install
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 15 2017" -A x64 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="SOME_WRITABLE_PATH"
cmake --build . --config Release
cpack -G TGZ

Place path to it to package.json:

{
    "devDependencies": {
        "obs-studio-node": "file://C:/where/you/cloned/obs-studio-node/build/obs-studio-node-0.3.21-win64.tar.gz"
    }
}

Install it to node_modules/
```
yarn install
```
Launch as usual:
```
yarn start
```

Misc

OBS logs can be found in osn-data\node-obs\logs.
