I don't know if this information is still valid since it was posted 5 month ago and both OBS and Stream Deck has been updated since then. I am now on OBS version 30,2,2 (64 bit) and Stream Deck version 6.7.2 (20986). But been having this issue in many month, just keep uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to get it to work. Have to do it every time I want to stream. So I wanted to give this a try but firstly, I don't know what portable mode means. Please enlighten me on that. I tried the first option of downloading the MSI file from the webpage and it works immediately after but if I close down OBS and the computer the connection is lost. Elgato stream deck is still on my tools list in OBS but it says "Not connected". The other option didn't work at all so I don't have a portable mode I guess. This resolves the issue at the moment but I have to do it every time. :/
Sorry I never responded earlier I been ill. But. If you installed OBS Studio with either an MSI or an exe file then it is a normal install. Portable mode is a zip file that you can place anywhere on your PC it is also use when you need a second copy of OBS Studio
Thank you. I had hidden a lot of tabs thinking I would never need to access them. My Streamerbot had lost connection to OBS and I could not remember how to show the TAB I needed. Thank you.
my goodness, an easily followable solution! 🙌 thank you sir, have had this problem since OBS 30 and never found a way to fix it. 5 quick minutes and now i can use my streamdeck with obs again 🙏
Thanks so much, cleared the issue! I do however now have a duplicate Stream Deck listed in my OBS tools. One connected (the one , one disconnected. Any idea how to clear the disconnected one?
YES! you may have 2 StreamDeckPlugin folders. go to your OBS folder -> data ->obs-plugins. check if StreamDeckPlugin folder is duplicated, if YES you can delete one of them, or to be sure you can delete both and just redo the last part of the video to reinstall that folder correctly. Hope this sorts out your issue. TNX for watching the video.
Thank you so much, half my battle was remembering which folder my obs was on (I messed up the portable obs steps a few times and forgot to delete them) but the step by step was really helpful (aka I struggled to do it on my own for 45 minutes 🤣)
