30.2 New Features

  • Added support for Multitrack Video streaming [palana]
    • On Twitch, this is known as Enhanced Broadcasting. Currently, this requires Windows and an NVIDIA GPU. Support for other platforms and GPU vendors is planned. For more information, see: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes
    • When this feature is enabled, the following data about your system will be sent to the streaming service when starting a stream:
      • OBS config info (canvas width and height, frame rate, encoder width and height, VOD Audio Track setting, OBS version)
      • CPU info (name, speed, core counts)
      • GPU info (model, memory, driver version, device ID, vendor ID)
      • Memory info (free, total)
      • OS info (name, version, arch, emulation)
        • Windows info (gaming feature status: Game Bar, Game DVR, Game Mode, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling)
      • Multitrack Video settings (maximum streaming bandwidth, maximum video tracks)
  • Added support for Enhanced RTMP/FLV multi-track audio and video [palana/kc5nra]
    • Replaces the old metadata-based "VOD Track"
