window-follower

OBS plugin that makes scene items follow the movement of the window the source is capturing from

Usage

Add the plugin to the scene with the scene item that you want to work with. Set the scene item to work with.

Additional options

• Stay in bounds: Ensures that the scene item doesn't leave the scene if the window moves out of bounds.
• Scale mode: How to translate window coordinates to scene coordinates. Only really matters in multimonitor setups.
• Monitor: The monitor to use when in monitor to scene scale mode.

Limitations

• The scene item should not be rotated or skewed.

Build

Windows

First follow build procedures for obs-studio.

• Building obs-studio will produce an obs.lib file, generated inside the build directories - e.g. obs-studio/build/libobs/debug/obs.lib

• Assuming you have cmake, prior to first configure, add the following entries:

Entry name	Type	Value (e.g.)
LIBOBS_LIB	FILEPATH	/obs-studio/path/to/obs.lib
LIBOBS_INCLUDE_DIR	PATH	/obs-studio/libobs
OBS_FRONTEND_LIB	FILEPATH	/obs-studio/UI/obs-frontend-api/obs-frontend-api.lib

• Click 'Configure', which will run
• Click 'Generate'

This should produce the desired development environment, which after building, shall produce the plugin dll file.
