Cant Get OBS MultiPlatform To Load

[BlockABoots]

Im trying to open OBS MultiPlatform with a simple Autoit script..

"Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\OBS64.exe")"

but upon loading the script i get the following message....

"This application failed to start because it could not find or load Qt platform plugin "windows".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Any ideas??

Try setting the Workdir parameter in the Run statement to the program directory.

As in the 'Program Folder'?

If so there is only the standard OSB folder in there not OBS MultiPlatform

[Jos]

Just like this:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\OBS64.exe","C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit")

Great!, that worked!

Next problem, with the standard OBS program if i use the Autoit Window info application, i can find out that the 'Start Record' command uses....

[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:5]

but with OBS MultiPlatform, when i try and use the Autoit Window info application, it doesn appear to be able to determin the value for the 'Start record' button, instead when i try hovering the cursor over the 'Start Record' button it seems to just hightlight the whole lower panel of the OBS Multiplatform window. Any ideas how else i can find the right value for the 'Start Record' button?

Ok sorry, i have found a work around now, but have a new issue.

This is my script for opening my 2 programs...

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\OBS64.exe","C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit")
WinActivate("OBS 0.12.2 (64bit, windows) - Profile: Untitled - Scenes: Untitled")
sleep(700)
send ("{r}")
Run("C:\Pro Capture HDMI\SDK\Bin\x64\Release\XID_MultiAudioCapture.exe")
WinActive("XID_MultiAudioCapture")
sleep(250)
send ("{space}")

and the script stopping the recording....

WinActive("XID_MultiAudioCapture")
send ("{space}")
WinActivate("OBS 0.12.2 (64bit, windows) - Profile: Untitled - Scenes: Untitled")
send ("{r}")

now while OBS does indeed stop recording, the MultiAudioCapture program doesnt stop recording, i i click on the MultiAudioCapture window to 'focus' on it and press 'space' then it does stop. Do you know why the script above isnt working as intended?

Pretty sure the winactivate is done too soon after the run() statement for both as I doubt the program is started yet when it is performed.
Put a sleep() after the run() or do a winwait() to ensure it exists before doing the winactivate.
Also try working with ControlSend() in staed of Send() when possible.

Ok have i have change the stop recording script to....

Winwait("XID_MultiAudioCapture")
WinActive("XID_MultiAudioCapture")
sleep(550)
Send("{space}")
Winwait("OBS 0.12.2 (64bit, windows) - Profile: Untitled - Scenes: Untitled")
WinActivate("OBS 0.12.2 (64bit, windows) - Profile: Untitled - Scenes: Untitled")
sleep(550)
Send("{r}")

but it, still doesnt stop the XID MultiAudioCapture program from recording (OBS stops fine). I have tired the ControlSend command but when i use that i get an error message...

Error: Incorrect number of parameters in function call

Then you have coded it wrong

[BlockABoots]

 

Then you have coded it wrong

Well all i have done to replaced 'send' with 'ControlSend'

[AdmiralAlkex]

Well all i have done to replaced 'send' with 'ControlSend'

You need to look them up in the helpfile. They have completely different parameters.

Welcome to the forum

As stated, look at the proper format in the helpfile and show what you have in case you still have issues.

Ok, this is just a simple script to get the audio capture program to load and and start recording....

Run("C:\Pro Capture HDMI\SDK\Bin\x64\Release\XID_MultiAudioCapture.exe")
sleep(250)
WinActive("XID_MultiAudioCapture")
sleep(250)
ControlSend("XID_MultiAudioCapture", "Record To File", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

But im getting a script error......

if i change 'ControlSend' to 'ControlClick' then it loads the program and starts to record just fine. Any pointers to what wrong with my script to not allow the ControlSend command to work?. I have used AutoIt's Info Program and the record button for the MultiAudioCapture gives the following info...

mmm, well, when the intent is to click a button I would indeed use ControlClick() and not ControlSend().
As to the error: see previous comments as they are still valid.

So, Start to read the helpfile and find the appropriate functions and their format to use.

Gotcha!, i did get it to work i had to add an addition "", in between the title and text sections, so the line reads....

ControlSend("XID_MultiAudioCapture", "", "Record To File", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

But are you suggestion that i should use 'Controlclick' instead then?

I have an issue with OBS MultiPlatform where i cannot get Autoit's Info porgram to tell me what CLASS the record button is, as it seems to just highlight the whole control panel at the bottom of OBS's main window, this quick video i made shows the issue...

any ideas how i can find the info for the record button?

  No you did not and please tell me you didn't look at the helpfile yet to come up with this solution?

I think did need to add the extra ' " ", ', because if i have the line in the script as.......

ControlSend("XID_MultiAudioCapture", "", "Record To File", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

Then the program loads and starts to record as intended!, but if i have the script line as......

ControlSend("XID_MultiAudioCapture", "Record To File", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

so missing out the "", in between, "XID_MultiAudioCapture" & "Record To File" i get a script error!!

 

[Jos]

Understand the error will disappear but that doesn't mean you have solved it correctly.
Somehow you keep avoiding my HelpFile comments... there is a hint in there!

Anyway you need to continue with ControlClick for now so just think about the last remark as a thing for the next time you do need it!
