Please note that this is a personal project. Its aim is not to be publicly used, but still, I will offer minimum support if you encounter a bug (might as well accept feature request only if I'm not lazy too)
I wanted to play games on my Switch and also screen share it on Discord to my friends. So I bought an HDMI to USB adapter which would "emulate" a camera with microphone from the HDMI input stream (because capture cards are freaking expensive).
I found multiple software allowing to stream the video/audio stream, but none of them had video and audio synchronized or had decent latency to not obliterate the game experience.
So what was my last option ? DIY !
This software can support any video/audio stream as long as they are detected as input device by the OS. Although I don't know how this would be useful streaming your camera with your microphone, but that works too.
As stated above, I won't offer full support and active development on this project. As long as it works for me, I won't update it.
If you ever encounter a bug, open an issue, I might look into it when I don't have better things to do.
If you have a feature request, do not hesitate to also open an issue, but keep in mind that I can straight up refuse working on it due to my laziness (or wait for an undefined amount of time).
Not really the most complicated software out there:
- Right click to lock/unlock the UI
- F11/Double click to enable fullscreen
- Scroll on the volume bar to change volume
- Press F12 to take a screenshot
- Press F10 to start/stop video recording
- Change volume within the app
- Toggle fullscreen with double click
- Video settings (resolution & framerate)
- Add back the close button (you can use CTRL+W or ALT+F4 in the meantime)
- Auto device list refresh (restart or CTRL+R in the meantime)
- Keep the volume level when switching audio source
- Remember the last audio & video devices used
- Stream video data to file when recording (see issue #4)
Although I think it depends on the adapter used, I had a better rendering quality by setting my switch's resolution to 720p (don't ask me why). At 1080p, everything was a bit blurry.
To change the switch's resolution: System Settings > TV Output > TV Resolution
For reference, here's what the adapter I'm using looks like and I paid it around 7€:
