OBS Stem Plugin

The production audio path is a Mimir/Fensalir-owned stem bus plus a narrow OBS source plugin.

Authority

  • Mimir/Fensalir own timing, alignment, DSP, and stem identity.
  • OBS owns broadcast mixing and scene composition.
  • The plugin reads already-processed stem samples. It does not synchronize raw sources, estimate clocks, or decide which stem is true.

Current Contract

MimirObsStemSharedMemoryPublisher writes the latest validated MimirObsStemPublicationSnapshot into a Windows shared-memory map named Local\MimirObsStemBus by default. The native OBS plugin in native/obs_stem_source exposes one audio input source. Add one source per stem and set:

Shared memory map: Local\MimirObsStemBus
Stem id: aligned_source_0

Use aligned_source_0 through aligned_source_5 for the first actuator-stage source lanes.

Build

.\scripts\build-obs-stem-plugin.ps1

The script stages obsproject/obs-plugintemplate under artifacts/obs-sdk/, lets the upstream template fetch/build the matching OBS/libobs development surface, then builds native/obs_stem_source against that SDK. The staged SDK and native build products are local artifacts, not repository state.

The managed shared-memory publisher is verified by:

dotnet run --no-build --project .\src\Mimir.BufferSmoke\Mimir.BufferSmoke.csproj -- --obs-stem-shared-memory-smoke

The local native plugin build currently succeeds and emits:

native\obs_stem_source\build\Release\mimir_obs_stem_source.dll
