Stitched L&R Eye Capture & OpenXR OBS Addon [Reverb G2, WMR, Steam]

Long shot, but I’m wondering if anyone has managed to figure out how to capture a stitched FOV version of MSFS in OBS using a Reverb G2.

I am doing my capture with this OpenXR OBS addon. I have found a YouTube tutorial for doing this, but it’s using the OpenVR OBS addon instead, which doesn’t seem like it works for a WMR headset. When I try to do this using the OpenXR addon it will not capture each eye separately at the same time. When I add 2 OpenXR sources, and set 1 of them for the Left eye and one for Right eye, the both just show the same eye anyways (whichever is the last one I configured).

I also attempted to do this using the NVIDIA 4x DSR capture method with the native mirror. However, I again can’t get 2 Game or Window sources to capture independently at the same time so that I can focus one on each eye.

It’d be nice to be able to do this. Not sure if it’s possible. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen any MSFS VR content creators do this, so I’m not sure if it’s just not possible. Any tips are welcome.

Thanks.

I don’t produce videos for public consumption but I make a few for myself. I use the in-game capture tool. It works great. You take the video while in VR, then when finished you move to flatscreen and edit it. The results are great. It will look just like the flatscreen image. Plus you can add new cameras and get video from different camera positions.

If you’re steaming then of course you can’t use the in-game method but if you’re just making videos then the in-game capture is the way to go. The results are outstanding.

Thanks for your suggestion, but this isn’t what I’m looking for. I’m trying to find a solution that works for real-time streaming.

I have used the “record & replay in flat-screen” method for taking drone screenshots and videos before. It does work well for that.

I hope this isn’t late, however, I was able to spend what seems like years figuring this out and have developed a sticthed working VR stream using OBS. Unfortunetly it is not utilizing the OpenXR Plugin, I’m simply using the screen capture option. There is one advanced setting you’ll need to change using the OpenXR Toolkit, which will remove the binocular vision around each eye. Then using 2 screen captures, cropping left and right separately, then scaling and aligning. Its not 100% but it barely noticable. Also there is not hardly any frame drop when streaming. There is also a trick to getting better resolution into OBS for your MSFS screen mirror. If you’ve figured it out another way, please let me know. If you need help, I can help aswell.

Thanks for your tip. I haven’t been streaming as much and I have just been using right-eye with the OpenXR Plugin with the binocular vision removed. I thought that I’d tried what you suggest and OBS wouldn’t display each eye separately, no matter what I did. I will keep your suggestion in mind if I get back in to try to improve the setup.

I honestly haven’t been streaming as much because I don’t feel like my PC has the power to encode a stable stream. I still turn it on now & then though.
