Looking Glass plugin for Open Broadcaster Software
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 the host. This avoids recording the Looking Glass client, which reduces latency from the game to your stream.
Build Instructions
The OBS plugin is included in the main source tree of Looking Glass, and is very similar to building the client.
Dependencies
The OBS plugin requires the following extra dependencies
- libobs-dev
Please install this package or the equivalent in your package manager.
Building
These instructions are the same as when building the client
mkdir obs/build
cd obs/build
cmake ../
makeInstallation
The resulting liblooking-glass-obs.so file should be placed in your OBS plugin directory.
mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/looking-glass-obs/bin/64bit
cp liblooking-glass-obs.so ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/looking-glass-obs/bin/64bitSetup
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.
