Sync recording for Rokoko Studio and OBS by using UE Switchboard

[@theodoroskyriakou]

Hello, great work! Do you know how to integrate it with the Unreal Engine's timecode? Thanks!

[@Neill3d]

Hello, on the time of creation there was no timecode input from switchboard that could be passed into triggered commands, maybe something has been changed in the recent update of ue…

Hello, I have a question. Is it not possible to add or change the OBS filename format? I would like to apply the Switchboard's slate and take to the OBS filename in the same way, but it does not work. Could you possibly tell me how to do this? Thank you very much.!!

[@Neill3d]

Hello, the current implementation only sends a start recording request using simpleobsws library. I see that there is a possibility to change a recording filename, as mentioned for instance here - github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/issues/407 such a request have to be send before the recording I would imaging. But I'm not sure I will have some free time to add that at the moment...

Great stuff! The video description also mentions Xsens. Have you tried using this with MVN software? If not, dod you know where I can find any documentation about it? (I couldn't find it myself).Movella are stuck in the middle ages when it comes to granting accessibility to their software and I fear I'll have to pay thousands of pounds just to be able to use their software with it.

[@Neill3d]

Xsens has a similar interface with trigger messages which is shared across Vicon, Optitrack and now Rokoko. Here you can find a more detailed information about it - movella.my.site.com/XsensKnowledgebase/s/article/Network-Sync-in-MVN?language=en_US. Also if you looking for advanced and ready to go solution for sync, I would recommend to have a look at PeelCapture.

@@Neill3d Thanks for the insights. Too bad Movella wants 2800$ a year to use the UDP or Network Sync features in their MVN software.

[@Neill3d]

@@matteo.grossi I see, wow, I didn't know that, but in general there are lots of rumors that services and processing cost a lot for XSens. depends on a project budget, sometimes it worth it

[@matteo.grossi]

@@Neill3d Yes, it's ridiculous. I own one of their suits. The data quality is solid for a non-optical system, but the pricing for basic features like UDP, exporting FBX, or ANYTHING else other than recording data is criminal.

Did you find out how to do this??

Hello! I tried obs plugin as your description, I put the obs plugin folder on my path, but it didn't work on my switchboard OBS didn't appear. Is there any solution? I also tried websocket but it didn't work... I hope that you make another video about how to add obs to UE Switchboard. Anyway Thanks to your Video

[@Neill3d]

Hello, did you follow the instruction I put in repository at "How to install" section github.com/Rokoko/UE-Switchboard-Devices So it's not only about having obs folder in the devices, but also about adding simpleobsws and websockets libraries into switchboard python site-packages. And yes, websockets have to be enabled in the obs itself.

Oh please can you make a short video of how to do this? I'm just an artist.. so this is way above my head. Please man. I'm following all your videos and they are so amazing.. but this one is a little to high level for me..

Did you figure this out?
