Sources will now be activated when viewing them in the filters dialog.PipeWire capturing is now more robust, especially in multi-GPU setups.Added frontend event so scripts can know when OBS is shutting down.Incompatible audio filters will now not be shown for sources that don’t support them.Added the ability for RTMP servers to request a silent reconnect when the server is going down (otherwise known as the “ RTMP go away” feature).The filters preview/properties are now resizable.A more user-friendly dialog is now displayed when a file could not be written for recording.Changed the Docks menu from being a submenu in the View menu to instead be its own top-level menu on the menu-bar.Twitch panels will now use light or dark mode depending on the OBS theme.
Added an option to general settings to hide OBS from all capturing, allowing you to capture your screen without OBS showing up.Added framework for future support of background hotkeys on Wayland.Added official Flatpak support for Linux.Added a “Show active outputs warning on exit” option in advanced settings, which allows you to enable/disable the confirmation dialog on exit while recording/streaming.Added a warning dialog when switching profiles that have settings changes that require a restart.Added an OBS hotkey for browser sources to allow refreshing a browser source via that hotkey.Added AOM AV1 and SVT-AV1 encoders (note that these are currently considered experimental, work best with CPUs that have many cores, and are only accessible for recording in advanced output mode).Added the ability to set different blend modes to sources via the source right-click context menu (similar to Photoshop’s layer blending for example).Updated CEF (Chromium) for the browser source from 75 (3770) to version 95 (4638) (Absolutely amazing work by everyone who worked on this, especially the CEF community -Jim).Added AJA output to tools menu for AJA devices.Fixed browser plugin not loading if OBS launched from certain paths on macOS.Fixed an issue on macOS where FFmpeg dependency filenames were unnecessarily complex, breaking some third party plugins.Hiding OBS from capture is now logged.Updated AOM/SVT encoders again because there seems to be some new good changes.Fixed an issue where the resize grip would break if you dragged it all the way to the top in the filters window.Fixed a memory leak in PipeWire capture on Linux.Fixed SRT and RIST from crashing OBS when a URL isn’t set or when disabling a Media source with a RIST URL.
Made a legendary workaround to some sort of driver/kernel bug which was triggered by the browser source (I am really proud of this)
Fixed a bug where audio wouldn’t capture for people with older Windows versions.Fixed a bug where sources could show up in the mixer while using studio mode even when those sources weren’t active.If you would like to support the OBS Project, please consider contributing to our Patreon or Open Collective! 27.2.4 Hotfix Changes
