I just don't like firmware updates when everything works fine. The risk of bricking the device is slim, but it can happen.

Small update, I have located an abandoned OBS Studio plugin to ingest video directly from the E2S using the EasyRGB instead of DirectShow. It exposes the input parameters within the OBS source settings dialog. I haven't tried it yet, but this should allow the settings to be manipulated by the OBS websockets interface. I use the NDI Source filter on the EasyRGB source to send video over the network to my Linux machine.

It seems highly performant so far. 1280x1024 video from my SGI machine is nice and smooth when consumed in OBS on my Linux machine.

I wish I could find the origin of this plugin!! I found the DLL in an archive on RetroRGB's website.

Can you share some more information about the plugin? Is there source available? Does it only work with older versions of OBS or will it work with the latest version too?

Unfortunately, all I have is the DLL. Attached here.

I'm using it in the current version of OBS Studio 31, works just fine.

The archive I found it in is called "OBS_Datapath_Capture_2022-01-27.zip", which I found here: https://consolemods.org/wiki/AV:Open_Br ... s_Captures Look for "RetroRGB's OBS Pack".

Plugin once existed here, but no longer: https://github.com/beeanyew/datapath-RGBeasy -- The person's whole GH profile is gone.

Archived version of the project page here, but code not archived sadly: https://web.archive.org/web/20230127211014/ht … atapath-RGBeasy

This is the sort of code you have AI generate for you now unless you enjoy doing it manually. Same thing if you need a program to adjust the capture parameters, you can have it in whatever language and with whatever UI.

You can skip OBS and do a program that grabs the frames off the card and streams them over the network, then add a feature that detects when the video mode changes and applies your predefined video parameters from a text file or whatever. These are solved enough problems that AI should manage it or at least do most of the boring work.
