We have a version that should work for newer macOS operating systems that we are testing internally.

Now, when I try to open Syphon (to then re-install the OBS Virtual Cam), the icon appears on the dock, but the actual window doesn't appear. If I go to help>install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin it waits and then closes the Syphon app. I can't get any further. Any ideas? 

 FWIW I have the same problem and I'm on Ventura 13.6.7.

I installed Syphon Virtual Webcam after already having the latest OBS installed and when I launch it the icon shows up in the doc, but no main window. Interacting with the Virtual Webcam in any way (like the help -> install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin) causes the program to close..

Just a bit more info for debugging in case it's helpful

Nice. Just bought my upgrade. <3

Is there any plan of updating Syphon Virtual Webcam to work in Sonoma? 

 At the moment we are focusing on the (imminent) release of Isadora 4

An alternative could be NDI virtual input: https://ndi.video/tools/ndi-virtual-input/

I've been using it for a while and it works great. 

Does anyone know of another virtual webcam solution they would recommend?

It didn't work for me either.

It may still be a solution, but not for me. I restored the legacy camera settings but no luck

Appears to be a solution here: https://support.apple.com/en-u...

I'll be checking it out tomorrow

You could check and see if OBS's actual virtual webcam plugin for OBS has been updated to support Sonoma. You should be able to get Isadora or NDI output into OBS. That might be a path forward.

and getting NDI into zoom is still really pricey--I think I might just be stuck with this one

@woland I feared this might be the case

Microsoft: If someone makes a program for our OS, it should be able to run forever.

Apple: Let's break everything every single year. Lol 

It might not be compatible with macOS Sonoma

Now, when I try to open Syphon (to then re-install the OBS Virtual Cam), the icon appears on the dock, but the actual window doesn't appear. If I go to help>install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin it waits and then closes the Syphon app. I can't get any further. Any ideas?

i usually use AppZapper to remove stuff, but it may have left something behind.

 It may not know about the location of the driver. It lives at

/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/

in any case, the v0.9.6 version of Syphon Virtual Webcam works with both the old driver and the new one from OBS 26.1. But if you really want to downgrade, then

• quit everything
• go to /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
• delete obs-mac-virtualcam.plugin
• and restart Syphon Virtual Webcam

In any case, thanks for the info. I'm a bit slammed at the moment, but I will see what I can find out as soon as I can.

Best Wishes,

hi Mark,

i have OBS v23.1 installed, but probably installed v26 last Summer, and then uninstalled it and reverted to v23 when i discovered i couldn't use a Ninja link as a browser source. i usually use AppZapper to remove stuff, but it may have left something behind.

source image is 1280x800 to match the projectors we're using.

the Hungarian company said that they got a message onscreen saying something like Syphon Virtual Webcam has stopped working. it was a bit difficult to tell what was going on at the time because of the video freezing and me trying to work out what was going on. the message may have been generated by Ninja.

cheers,

john

i'm running video out of Isadora thru SVW into OBS.Ninja in Chrome. twice today the image froze up at my end and the people on the other end of Ninja said that there was a message from SVW on their screen

OK. I've never worked with Ninja, so we can give this a try.

Importance Questions: Please Answer in your reply!

Do you have OBS v26.1 or later installed on your computer?

What was the resolution of the source image?

And what message did SVW display exactly? It doesn't display a message... the only thing it will do is to show the "test pattern" screen if the connection drops. Is that what they mean?

Best Wishes,
Mark

Thanks for testing, but don't worry about b38. I tested in 3.0.7 and the latest beta (b44) and Isadora accepts the virtual webcam fine. 

For the benefit of those new to Isadora: because Isadora accepts Syphon natively, there is no reason to use Syphon Virtual Webcam as an input to Isadora. You should just use the Syphon Receiver actor to receive the signal directly.

I just had a full day of very long only meetings, in google meet (chrome) and zoom. (one time even 2 meetings at the same time meet & zoom)

I did all the meetings trough Isadora and syphon virtual webcam (also because I have made a handy tool with the buffer and a random value player so it looks like I'm present)

And I didn't have any crashes or freezes. (after now 10h).

With a simple configuration (Syphon server>Syphon-Virtual-Webcam > Isadora Input) the new syphon-virtual-webcam works well for me in b29 and b41. In b38 I cannot see the picture in the Live Capture Settings window (Icon and Preview Window) but I get the picture in the Video Input and in the stage.
