Obs alternative

Home Forums OBS Studio Support Windows Support Thread starter cfhfghf Start date Aug 20, 2018 #1 i tried all the studio versions and following classic versions: 657b, 659b - no win xp support so far #2 No. No version of OBS has EVER supported windows xp. #3 i have no choice, i need to use win xp. why not implement it? or anybody knows some alternative programs? #4 Because microsoft doesn't support xp anymore, and it's too lacking in core REQUIRED features. #5 i know that it is not supported anymore. are there alternative programs that still run in win xp? #6 You can try Fraps. Very dated, not free, but runs on XP. It used to be the low-cost recording app for PC gaming until Xsplit and OBS took the lead.

But I DON'T NEED IT.I DEFINITELY need StreamFX and Downstream-Keyer. But I don't see those available through Flatpak. Is there some other method?I ALSO need the "browser" source because there are many things I want to do with that.So, I uninstalled the Flatpak version of OBS and rebooted...3. Alternative OBS Installs​In Add/Remove Software, if you search for obs you will get a long list of items. There are several "alternative" versions of OBS Studio, including:obs-studio-browserobs-studiuo-rcobs-studio-tytan652These claim to support everything except service integration, which is fine with me. However...I TRIED to install using Pamac (Add/Remove):​ - obs-studio-browser 27.2.4-2 - Repository: AUR - Maintainer: tytan652 - Last Modified: Tues 05 Jul 2022 03:37:42 PM EDTDOES NOT INSTALL​Each one has a dependency called "ffmpeg-obs" which is a modified version of the standard ffmpeg. I'm not going to replace the regular ffmpeg and risk messing up something else on my system. Many other programs on my system rely on ffmpeg.IMHO its the wrong approach to modify another, widely used app (ffmpeg) instead of finding some other solution. I certainly don't want to offend anyone who may have spent hours or days working on the above solution, but I just don't agree with it.the Flatpak install did NOT require a custom ffmpeg so I don't see why I should mess with my default system apps.4. Current Best Solution IMHO: obs-studio-git​At this point I was pretty frustrated and I was about to give up. But, then I tried...Installed using Pamac (Add/Remove):​ - obs-studio-git 27.2.0.777-1 - Repository: AUR - Maintainer: benklett - Last Modified: Sun 27 Mar 2022 05:40:55 PM EDTPLUGINS INSTALLED:​obs-downstream-keyerobs-streamfxNOTES​It is installed through the default installer with no command line tweaks or hacks.Both plugins installed and seem to work. I will need to do some streaming to test them"browser" source IS AVAILABLE and works!!There is NO Twitch account integration (which is fine). I'm using my stream key.CONCLUSION​I've seen so much discussion about why OBS is missing features on Manjaro (or Arch because Manjaro is based on it). I even watched a Youtube video where the OP explained in detail why this and that doesn't work
