1.0 RC2 - With better Linux support

See #9

It's mostly the same as 1.0 RC1 but with a better support for Linux and flatpak.

1.0 RC1 - Works with OBS-Studio 27.2

I didn't plan to release this version this soon, but it seems OBS-Studio last update broke this plugin.

Hightlight:

• obs-kinect now supports all Kinect versions, including Azure
• There's a preliminary support for Linux (see #9)
• You can now blur or replace your background instead of removing it
• You can now control camera settings on every Kinect model on Windows (only Azure on Linux for now)
• Added visibility mask override (see #52)
• Add polish translation (#27)
• Add korean translation (#46)
• Add czesh translation (#53)
• obs-kinect is now built using xmake, which will handle most dependencies for you!

Full Changelog: v0.2...v1.0-rc1

0.3 Release Candidate 2 - Fixed depth for Kinect for 360

This is a release candidate for the next version, it doesn't have all features the release version will have and does contains bugs/crashes/etc, please report them!

This release does not support Azure Kinect, check this thread to download a test version for Azure Kinect

Changelog:

• Added support for Kinect v1 (with support for dedicated background removal)
• You can now select which Kinect you want to use
• You can now duplicate Kinect sources and pay the cost of polling each device one time, no matter how many sources you have.
• Added "Body or depth" and "Body within depth" green screen modes
• Added support for Kinect v2 service process priority update
• Added a camera icon
• Fixed depth/IR size (it will no longer be stretched)
• Added dirty depth option (helps with flickering when little movement is involved)
• Added german translation (incomplete), thanks to @pucgenie and @saphir1997
• Performance improvements
• (RC2) Fixed translation of sources/greenscreen types.
• (RC2) The plugins now checks the version of OBS at startup to print an explicit error message is running on OBS < 25.0
• (RC2) (Kinectv1) Fixed error message handling
• (RC2) (Kinectv1) Added a checkbox to enable near mode (disabled by default, cannot be enabled on Kinect for 360 version)
• (RC2) (Kinectv1) Added a checkbox to enable high-res color mode (output RGB at 1280x960 instead of 640x480, but at 15hz)
• (RC2) (Kinectv2) The plugin no longer tries to set KinectService.exe priority to normal if it hasn't changed it in the first place.

What's missing:

• Kinectv2 camera settings (this isn't an easy thing to do, will try to have it in 0.3)
• German translation is incomplete, it would be nice if someone could translate the remaining keys.

0.2 release - now using GPU, gaussian blur and body indexing!

Here's the new version of obs-kinect, using OBS shaders to process things on the GPU instead of the CPU, allowing to use some gaussian blur on the filter texture to improve results.

Changelog:

• This plugins now relies on shaders to use GPU power instead of CPU power.
• It's now possible to use blur passes to improve filter effect.
• Previous filtering and crop options disappeared (since they're no longer required).
• Added body green screen filter (based on Kinect body detection).

First release

This is the first release of obs-kinect!
