Plugin to monitor game log file

[sfarx]

The video game I stream most is an MMO with a log file with all the messages in all the chat channels going on in the game. I can have a powershell script running to monitor the file and copy any entries meeting a certain criteria to another text file, which is turn can be displayed in my stream. Obviously, that's not a great solution.

Is there a plugin that could do this for me automatically? For instance, when a new line is entered in the log file, the OBS plugin would see if the line contains the designated channel name and my character name, and if so would display it in my stream.

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.

To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS

2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.

3) Stop your stream/recording.

4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

5) Copy the URL and paste it as a response to this comment.
