NetObsBindings

NetObsBindings is a library that provides .NET bindings for Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).

These bindings are generated from the OBS repository, specifically libobs and obs-frontend projects.

The approach taken is to generate a static class per header file via ClangSharp generator. This means, that, for example, you could find functions exported from the obs-service.h file in the ObsService C# class.

How to use these bindings?

These bindings can be used to create your own plugin in C#. There is one caveat: make sure you are publishing the plugins as NativeAOT libraries, this is essential to make it work due to the plugin model of OBS.

Examples:

samples folder contains a simple plugin example.
more comprehensive example - ObsCSharpExample by @YorVeX

Example for an OBS plugin written in C# containing various standard items like output, filter, source or a settings dialog in the OBS Tools menu.

Plugins made using this library:

xObsBrowserAutoRefresh by @YorVeX

OBS plugin providing a filter for automatically refreshing a browser source in a configurable interval.

How to generate bindings locally?

In order to generate bindings locally, please use the build.ps1 script. Make sure that you have ClangSharpPInvokeGenerator dotnet tool installed.

This script will:

Clone the OBS repository
Generate bindings for all required modules
Insert the version of the OBS library to Obs.Version.cs file.

NB: to change the OBS version - modify the $GitTag variable in the ./init_obs.ps1 script
