Non-Free StreamFX (by Vhonowslend) 1.0.0b610

Well, the installer for version 0.11.1, which was the last stable version, is no longer available, and they still haven't released a version for obs 29, so I think it's official, we can only have access to the installer by paying

Dev violates GPL by committing non-GPL code so Binaries are removed Now full-on GPL violation with paywall
RIP

Uninstalled plugin but it left some dlls somewhere in file system. Due to it I wasn't able to use OBS 28-29 for past several months, because it was crashing at start.

I can no longer use this because I cannot afford a 10/mo subscription. That's just insane. Not even a free tier with like half the options (blur is the one I used mostly).

I originally found StreamFX just to get a basic blur video filter, which isn't available in OBS. I was very happy with this plugin for that purpose a year ago.
There are compatibility issues with OBS 28+, so I've given up on StreamFX for now, and settled with a workaround in vanilla OBS: dramatically downscaling and then upscaling the video source, with bilinear interpolation.
The Patreon business model doesn't really make sense for software dev work, in my eyes. Either the output is freeware, or available as a commercial product.
I could probably invest a few hours to build it from source myself once there's a stable v0.12, but that's a bit annoying and not feasible for most users.
Hopefully things come good soon, but it all seems a bit stagnant and toxic here at the moment.

Paywalling current versions despite OBS not working with the latest stable releases is not a good move, just as others already said. I will stop using this plugin for now...

This plugin served me well in the past but I can no longer recommend it for general use.
I used StreamFX for a single source and filter. I don't need 90% of what StreamFX offers, and I would rather not have to jump through a bunch of hoops and/or paywalls, while also potentially dealing with the usual open source developer mindset that is unfortunately common (ie. your feedback or issue is bad or wrong, our code is infallable and free of issues, nothing is ever our fault and is always the users fault. If you have a problem then code it yourself), just to use a single filter on the latest stable version of OBS 29.
Currently, the only version for OBS 29 is officially available via Patreon. I don't have a problem with paywalling of pre-release versions in general, however when the latest stable version of StreamFX hasn't been updated for over 2 (likely will be 3) stable versions of OBS, that's where the move towards monetization becomes sour for me.
Seeing how there hasn't been a stable release for so long, I consider StreamFX to be depricated and should be treated as such. I highly suggest finding alternatives wherever possible. Source Clone by exeldro is a great alternative to Source Mirrors, and is what I am now using.

Lol paywall even when the plugin keep lagging behind the current version of OBS, making it unusuable, dev went nuts.

My review was yet again removed by an admin.
Love the plugin, hate the monthly fee to get access to the newest builds. Would prefer a 1 time payment option with access to all future builds.

Used this a lot in the older OBS versions. Just wanted to thank the dev. Looking forward to the next stable release. Don't let the hate get to you. The people complaining about the "paywall" are the same people that would complain about buggy "unstable" releases if they were to download an alpha version.

I love this plugin it is very useful, My question to the creator is the payment is in patreon?

Keep going. I don't want this project to drop.

+5 Stars for the Plug-In, -3 for the developers behavior, -1 for the paywall (there was just 1 Star left, 1 is the minimum, otherwise there would be more stars removed for the paywall).

I'd be more than happy to pay for the software with a one time fee, but I can't afford yet another monthly subscription.

Damn paywall crap. I will leak this software everywhere i can, so no one has to pay money to this crap developer!!

StreamFX used to work pretty well. It's a shame that Xaymar (The lead developer) is one of the most angry and spiteful people I've ever encountered. Paywalling an open source project is laughable, making the once open-to-all discord private, deleting "negative" feedback, and removing the ability for non-devs to comment on github (largely in part to his personal definitions of the words "production" and "support") is really just the icing on this 'frustrated and seething lil guy' cake... and he wonders why he has trouble with donations lol.

No current functional release of this project. Last 4 "releases" are still behind paywall and never actually released.

Paywall after so many years... unbelievable!

Thank you user @P90Ez for compiling the latest version for us. The fact that it took you 2 hours and you have knowledge on this subject truly shows how Xaymar saying "You always have the option to build from source." as if it was a 5 minute process is absolutely absurd.

We have been asking for days and been ignored with a simple copy and paste. Again, thank you for taking time out of your day to help people like me.

Latest builds works as advertised. This is still an open-source project, everything is free and openly available to build.
