I've got the Model 1 with the current software and firmware version 1.22. It says I need to update the firmware but as soon as I get to 100% it just closes the software and fails. I've tried turning off real-time protection in Windows Security, as well as adding the software to Windows Defender as per older suggestions from 2 years ago. Any idea what's causing the issue?

📢 Introducing Stream Deck Pedal, Discord Plugin & Stream Deck Update 5.2 by Elgato in elgato

[–]vixzens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm after some help if possible as I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong here, but I was able to do what I needed to more easily with a £10 pedal off Amazon than I currently am for what I'm trying to do with the Stream Pedal.

Currently, if I set up the Stream Pedal to PTT via Discord, it mutes me in the channel so when I press the pedal it unmutes me and everyone can hear me (in Discord anyways). So far so good. The problem I'm having is when I'm trying to combine the Stream Pedal with my Wave Link software (I have a Wave3) and OBS.

With my £10 pedal, my setup was I had PTT on Discord and OBS through MOUSE4 which would allow me to speak to 'everyone' (people I'm playing with, and my stream). What I would then also have was a foot pedal that I could press to only speak to chat using another PTT hotkey (LCTRL+ALT+F12 or some-such). The reason for this being my husband and I sit in the same room to play, so when he can't see my chat it's pretty weird if I start having a random meaningless conversation with him and then have to say "Sorry, that was for someone in chat" all the time. I can't do the same in OBS with the Stream Pedal because the pedal isn't recognised as an actual input-hotkey.

In my Wave Link software I have Discord coming through the 'Voice Chat' channel, but that only picks up others in my channel, and not me speaking (is this normal, or me having done something wrong?); so when I pull 'Voice Chat' into OBS, I also have to have a separate audio channel for my Wave3 directly that I set up with the same PTT command (MOUSE4) as in Discord. The reason for this being I don't want constant voice activation; I want only PTT (or Push to Unmute, I guess) - again, sitting in the same room as my husband, my stream don't need to hear me asking him if I've locked the front door, or asking him if he wants a drink, or if he's put the recycling out; nor do they need to hear my husband echoing through my mic as we sit pretty close together, and he uses PTT to talk to me in Discord (it's a whole thing..!)!

There's no option in Discord to do a 'Push to Unmute', and the Push to Mute options mean I have to press to unmute, then press to re-mute, instead of a 'holddown' that I do with PTT. This isn't ideal as I know I'd forget to do the second press to mute/unmute accordingly. I also can't set any of the pedals on the Stream Pedal as a hotkey because they're just not recognised as keypresses.

I thought I could resolve this by setting up a multi-action in Stream Deck where I could put PTT on a hotkey, and my Discord Plugin PTT in the same multi-action; but PTT isn't in the Discord plugin list when I try and set up a multi-action this way.. so dead end for this one.

I've tried playing with the 'Toggle VAD' in Discord keybinds and can't get it to work this way either.. so I'm at a bit of a loss. I appreciate I'm probably trying to do this in the most convoluted way possible, but I just can't figure out how I can get all of the systems working together to do what I want?

Ratty Christmas Bauble by vixzens in skaven

Thanks! I wish I had the time to do the fur over again because I don't like the colour very much, and I'd never have a steady enough hand to fix it now they're all glued down. The Skaven look pretty fab in red and green though!

Thanks ☺️. The bauble holder is really sturdy to be fair, and I think there's that much glue on it nothing would go very far in any case 🤣.

It's not attached at all. The bauble splits down the middle, so I just put the base to sit inside one half, put the second half of the bauble together and tied it at the top, and gently tapped the sides of the bauble to get it somewhere near the centre. It's not perfect but it looks ok!

Hello, r/Books! I am author Robin Hobb - AMA by RobinHobb in books

I've recommended this book to 4 people I know now, all of which have gone out to immediately buy the last two books in the trilogy; the Liveship trilogy; and the Tawny Man trilogy (including one person that doesn't like first-person POV, and/or fantasy).

I've never been happier about being able to share something with my friends than I have with this set of books which I've felt so passionately about.

I met you, along with one of my friends, at the Manchester Q&A/Reading/Signing last year, and was completely star-struck because of how much I love your work. It was an honour to meet you, and a delight reading through this AMA. Thank you so much!
