Program View Displaying Wrong Resolution with Studio Mode and Output Mode Advanced
Introduction
When using OBS Studio in Studio Mode with Output Mode Advanced, some users have encountered an issue where the Program View displays the wrong resolution. This problem occurs when transitioning scenes using the OBS WebSocket or when OBS loads the default scene. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, explore the possible causes, and provide steps to reproduce the problem.
Operating System and OBS Studio Information
- Operating System: Windows 11
- OBS Studio Version: 31.0.3
- OBS Studio Version (Other): No response
- OBS Studio Log URL: https://obsproject.com/logs/FRTbezQGsJFYu52I
- OBS Studio Crash Log URL: No response
Expected Behavior
The Program View should display the same resolution as the Canvas resolution when transitioning scenes using the OBS WebSocket or when OBS loads the default scene. In this case, the expected resolution is 1440p.
Current Behavior
However, the Program View displays the wrong resolution, specifically 1080p, when transitioning scenes without loading them in the preview first. This issue occurs even when the scene is changed using the OBS WebSocket or when OBS loads the default scene.
Possible Causes
The issue seems to be related to the use of two encoders at once in OBS. The settings used are:
- Canvas: 2560x1440
- Output -> Streaming: Rescaled Output (Bilinear) 1920x1080
- Output -> Recording: Rescale Output (Disabled) 2560x1440
It appears that when the scene is transitioned without being loaded in the preview first, the Program View uses the resolution of the Streaming output, which is 1080p.
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:
- Set Base (Canvas) Resolution: Set the Canvas resolution to 2560x1440 (Image One).
- Set Output Mode to Advanced: Set the Output mode to Advanced.
- Configure Streaming and Recording Settings: On Streaming, set Rescale Output to Bilinear and 1920x1080 (Image Two). On Recording, set Rescale Output to Disabled and 2560x1440 (Image Three).
- Enable Studio Mode: Enable Studio Mode.
- Set up OBS WebSocket Connection: Set up an OBS WebSocket connection or transition a visible scene to the program and select a different scene on the preview.
- Close and Open OBS: Close OBS and then open it again.
- Loaded Scene should now be at the wrong resolution: The loaded scene should now be at the wrong resolution, specifically 1080p.
Additional Information
If using a WebSocket, any scenes changed to will have this issue, however once they are loaded in the preview this issue is resolved.
