I'm working on a project where I need to access and modify the video and audio streams of an OBS user in real-time.

Currently, I have set up a system where the OBS user sends their stream to an RTMP server. From there, I access the frames and process them as needed. However, I can't help but think that this is an inefficient way to achieve my goal.

Is there a better approach to directly access the video and audio streams of an OBS user without relying on an RTMP server? I would like to find a more direct and efficient method for real-time stream manipulation.

Any insights or code examples would be greatly appreciated. My primary programming language is Python, but I'm open to exploring other options if they provide a more elegant solution. Thanks in advance!

Without knowing more specifics about your project, there are a few possible options:

NDI

NDI is a protocol for low latency realtime video over high bandwidth networks, like LANs. There is an NDI plugin for OBS. If you implement your solution with NDI, then it will work with all the other software beyond just OBS.

OBS Plugin

You can make your own OBS plugin.

Custom Output with FFmpeg

Using recording options under advanced, you can set a custom command line for FFmpeg. From there, you can send your video elsewhere if you want.
