Background Remover crashes OBS about obs-backgroundremoval

[packysauce]

Howdy! It's 4am so i'll be brief:
https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval/blob/main/src/background-filter.cpp#L282
if i remove the std::string(newModel) call and just use newModel, it stops crashing and everything works.
popOS 21.04, built obs and plugin into ~/.local and have been debugging as best i can with vscode.
sleepy times, lemme know if i can get you more convincing details (its a recent change too, so could be - im out of my depth on my c++ quirks)

v0.3.0beta fails for me. I see about a second of background removal (from my video camera source). And then it crashes OBS completely. No delays etc.

[royshil]

Please try https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval/releases/tag/v0.4.0
@LukeFree91 @max-allan-surevine @wwsh @vxf @packysauce

[royshil]

@ftraxxler i'll work on the 0.4.0 for arch linux... should be up soon

Hi!

I got the same issue with OBS 26.1.1 on Win10: the plugin starts and is visible as a Video plugin, but when activated, the camera feedback goes black and OBS hangs.
Best regards,
Paul

(No crash log as I have to kill OBS as it hangs forever...)

[royshil]

I now upgraded the plugin for v27
See the releases page for the latest binaries.
Please try to install it now and see if it works, @OBS1227 @anoril1979

[anoril1979]

I updated OBS to 27 and get the last build (after comment from Royshil) and it works fine!
Thanks

[royshil]

@OBS1227 @packysauce are you able to run the plugin with v27?

[packysauce]

(i'm compiling it myself, not using the release)
I got it running with v27, had to remove that std::string() i mentioned, but that got me sorted out.
fun fact, running with CUDA was basically removing _DML and using _CUDA! neat!

[royshil]

@packysauce can you confirm the CUDA version actually uses the NVidia GPU instead of the CPU? i couldn't get it to work on my PC that has an Nvidia GPU

[packysauce]

went ahead and put up what I've been using. nvidia-smi, cpu util, and fan noise all seem to suggest it's running on the GPU

[vxf]

I also had to remove that std::string() constructor in background-filter.cpp#L282 and hopefully let the compiler handle the string copy, now all works perfect. I'm using gcc 7.5.0, OBS Studio 27.0.1 and I also had to add the missing NULL fields in background_removal_filter_info declaration so it could compile, so I guess @royshil uses different compilers on Linux.

[wwsh]

hi! on my integrated NVIDIA GTX960m there's no way I can make it work with OBS. Plugin is VERy CPU intensive (70% of my i7) . Which GPu have u tested with your btw great plugin ? Cheers

[LukeFree91]

v0.3.0beta fails for me. I see about a second of background removal (from my video camera source). And then it crashes OBS completely. No delays etc.

Yep I have the same issue!

[ftraxxler]

If have tried to install it on arch linux with makepkg -s and then pacman -U but my obs also crashes when I am trying to set the filter ? I have the version 0.3.0beta and not the 0.4.0 because makepkg creates 0.3.0 and 0.4.0

[ftraxxler]

@ftraxxler i'll work on the 0.4.0 for arch linux... should be up soon

Installed it a few seconds ago. Works perfect! Thanks

[OBS1227]

Packysauce, so sorry I didn't mean to ignore you it's just that I don't know how to reply to comments on this board. I just reread them to see if I can learn something and I saw that you had asked me a question back when I first posted. It's been a while so I have OBS 27.1.3. and the current version of Background removal for Mac. It shows up with all the parameters that can be adjusted, but it's a black screen. I am not seen with my camera. Royshil said that I didn't install some components, but I don't know how to install them and am awaiting further instruction. Thanks!

[jkeys1989]

I have 27.1.3 and it crashes every time I try to remove background. Can someone help?

[donfmorrison]

Crashing here also as soon as I add the Background Removal filter.

• OBS 27.1.3
• Background Removal tool 0.4.0
• Mac OS Monterey 12.1

[royshil]

Can you please post the OBS logs here? (Or the relevant section of them) You can view the logs even after the program crashed by looking in the help menu and selecting to find the location of the log files. They are just .txt files. Look at the latest one Thanks

Hmm. There not an explicit error there But I suspect the "ext camera" which sounds like an external camera? Can you try first with your internal camera? E.g. the embedded camera in your laptop Or just in general a different camera Because it might be an issue of the frame not coming in properly or in a way I know how to parse...

In terms of my situation I uninstalled BR and OBS because I need to use the built in "Virtual Camera" so that Zoom can recognize OBS for my lessons. Unfortunately my logs don't go farther than the day I uninstalled BR and reinstalled OBS. I'm not a programmer so reinstalling BR it takes some time in order to recreate the issue. Virtual Camera shows up, but doesn't activate when clicked on unfortunately. Until I can get some time to install it again this is all the info I could give you. Sorry! Thanks for trying to fix the issue.

Tried my internal "HD Facetime Camera" and got the same kind of non-error. Pretty useless logs.

Is it possible I'm missing some pre-requisites or something?

[royshil]

It's not unlikely that it's because of the MacOS version you're running. Possibly the shared libraries have a mismatch. The only way to get around that will be to build the plug-in again from scratch on 12.1. Otherwise - did you verify the files from the plug-in were installed in the right folders? (Although if the files weren't found it would go up in the logs) So my current bet is on the OS version.

in response to your last question as to if it's installed properly. I am not sure. I right clicked on OBS and i dragged the app to that folder that was in your instructions. I opened it up and guessed as to where each belonged as I am not a programmer. It took me many times and I finally saw everything that I should be seeing in your plugin. I could get it to work for sometimes a few minutes and sometimes until I wanted to close OBS. Many times I would make several attempts. to even open OBS like starting a fire. It would automatically close and sometimes it stayed there. The Robust Video Matting always shut it down and then it starting working. I would have benefitted if their was an installer that did it all, because as you say I might have done something to make it crash or make OBS's Virtual Camera useless! Would it be possible for you or someone else to list the steps as to where certain elements need to be installed or dragged in? Perhaps an inaccurate installation is causing it to crash? Well if you do it for Mac OS 12. 1 I won't be able to install it for a while. I will need to get an external drive to update my OS. I use some expensive music software that requires a hefty price to upgrade to the latest OS with their software. A few years back I was doing some professional work and needed their software, but now I don't. I am afraid I will need it and can't use it due to the upgraded OS unless I get paid enough. I really should upgrade to a more current OS, but if you're getting success on 11 then why not keep it there as long as you can? Thanks so much for your willingness to help! Looking forward to updates and fixes!

[donfmorrison]

@royshil I have built from source and still getting the same behavior and error on OS 12.1 - At this point, I'll just have to be patient and wait for you to upgrade to 12.1. Thanks for putting this together and for continuing to support it.

[OBS1227]

I know that we can create multiple OBS's, but I am unclear as to if the build or foundation is the same for all. I mean if I am on a newly installed OBS will it contain the same plugins as the others? If I can install a separate OBS I will do that to experiment, but right now it's too risky timewise to be able to have an unreliable OBS to get it back to the reliable for my lessons. Otherwise I would. Thanks for listening and all your hard work Mr. Shilkrot!

[StoneBlazin]

@royshil just want to say thank you for your efforts on this amazing plugin.

@donfmorrison hey man i was using 0.4.0 and it was crashing pretty much instantly on startup or whenever i messed with the settings too long and so i deleted all traces of the plugin from OBS contents folder and unzipped 0.3.0 into the app instead and it has crashed a few times but nothing like before i can actually use the plugin and it seems to be streaming fine as well , im on a 2011 imac with high sierra so it should work for your newer model, sure hope so anyway best of luck.

@OBS1227 Yes you can install multiple versions of OBS and multiple versions of plugins, 0.4.0 was making my OBS(27.1.3)crash, so i installed 26.1.2 and installed plugin version 2.4 and it was stable but it was only getting like 8 frames per second and making my stream choppy so i uninstalled it .i just realized i didnt try 0.3.0 though and im curious to see how that wouldve worked as i just went ahead and downgraded the plugins in my 27.1.3 to 0.3.0 and it seems to be holding up and working properly , give that a try and let me know how it goes

[jkeys1989]

Can you please post the OBS logs here? (Or the relevant section of them) You can view the logs even after the program crashed by looking in the help menu and selecting to find the location of the log files. They are just .txt files. Look at the latest one Thanks

@jkeys1989 the background removal plugin is never being loaded... can't see it in the logs
Can you verify the .so files are in the right location in the plugins folder of OBS?

[OBS1227]

@donfmorrison, Thanks! I meant the same version of OBS. I got this idea when I tried to reinstall OBS. It would ask me if I wanted to replace or keep both. I kept both, so then they start automatically numbering and I get the impression that it does, but not exactly. BR shows up in effects as opposed to the audio visual filter that it should be when properly installed. The error I would get is that it has no properties and was unusable.

[OBS1227]

If this is a repeat of this message I apologize. I started to compose it and I went looking for error logs and couldn't find the window again. It seems that Robust Video Matting makes it crash, but not always. If I start it several times it will start up and last for good periods of times, Mac OS High Sierra OBS 27.1.3. Thanks!

work for a good amount of time, but if I close OBS with it enabled it typically will crash.

[OBS1227]

One more thing that might be helpful. I installed it on OBS 27.2 Beta and first thing it crashed, so I uninstalled it the way I know how (figured out on my own.) and BR shows up in effects with no properties. Not sure if the aforementioned info helps. My installation process. Don't know if it is correct or not. I followed this: I copied the .so file into the OBS plugin folder and the BR plugin folder into the resources-data-OBS - plugins folder. When I uninstalled BR I just deleted both, but it still keeps that remnant of Br in the effects folder. Did I install it correctly and did I uninstall it correctly. It does work in copies of OBS, but I uninstalled it from the beta, because I need a stable OBS for what I want to do. Thanks!

[StoneBlazin]

for anyone that cannot get the plugin to work there is one workaround i know: download snap cam which lets use a green screen filter then select that as the source for any camera you add to OBS

[vxf]

@royshil I've been using this plugin in all my meetings ever since and almost forgot this thread, 0.4.0 works great! I have yet to try enabling GPU also

[OBS1227]

Well, I'm happy to report that i am enjoying this plugin. I am so glad that I stuck with it. I installed it on Mac OS Catalina on an external drive on OBS 27.1.3. with what I have been using it for so far it works with no crashes. I am not a gamer and haven't done this with any live situations yet, but have had OBS open for long periods of time multitasking. The RVM still needs either some instruction by way of color adjustments or a software update, but it is only a little noticeable if you don't move. However, I did install it on the latest 27.2.1. for Mac and the screen is black. I will change the color to green like it wants me to, but it doesn't show me. I do have both OBS's and am loving the one it works on. I wonder if installing StreamFX helped it in anyway, because that is when it became stable. Unless it was a coinkydink? Or, maybe a clean HD helped? Thank You Roy!

[Technetium1]

Working great for me via https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-backgroundremoval

[codysechelski]

I'm Also having Stability Issues on my Mac. I will run, and I can preview the results, but after a few minutes the video will freeze and OBS crashes.
