exeldro / obs-browser-transition Goto Github PK

The official browser source supports refreshing the content/cache. However, I cannot find how to refresh the browser of obs-browser-transition at this moment. This may be good for whoever develops browser transition without running hot-reload.

obs-browser supports refreshing like this:

Hi @exeldro,

I built the plugin out of tree on Debian. I can't see the Browser section shown in Andilippi's vídeo. I am using OBS 29 on Debian.

Please, see an attached image below. How I could help to debug? The log shows a full load of the plugin.

Thanks in advance.

When using a browser transition with track matte the first frame on repeat transitions flickers regardless of when you decide to reload the browser transition source each scene transition. Usually the first transition plays correctly and breaks on consecutive scene changes.

A user reported this earlier on the plugin forums discussion, and I also managed to record it with a bigger contrast between a full green and a blue color source scene and back:

It does not matter if I use a white or inverted track matte layer or where the transition point is set (audio only?). And also occurs when you 'Refresh browser when scene becomes active'.

My suspicion is that it currently ignores the 'Shutdown source when not visible' setting as can be seen here in a debug transition showing the remote-console-port debugging screen (might need a frame by frame analysis):

Here you can see a single transition:

1. Scene A Blue
2. 1 frame of scene B containing OBS debug screen with 'the tab is inactive' and 4 lines in console
3. transition plays out
4. 6 lines in console (transitionStart + stinger run true) because it triggered stinger()
5. Finally on the last frame of this video it shows:
   'The tab is inactive' with 8 lines in console, 2 extra for the cleanup after transitionStop

Settings for the browser transition:

My dumb suggestion would be to default have the bottom half or right side (position of track matte) set with the color of the track matte (black or for inverted white) so even on refresh or inactivity the default state until the transition loads is always correct.
