Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues from OBS and how to fix them for the plugin.

When OBS opens, the subtitles are still there, but they aren't translating.

To fix this, click on the audio source -> filters -> and then toggle the translate or transcribe (whichever you want) off and on again. That will begin translation again.

Translation doesn't start right away

This is normal. When a filter is started, it takes a few seconds to begin translating.

Any other problem

If any other problem appears, please email Darwin AI. A common fix is deleting all of the sources with filters on it, exiting OBS, and then readding the sources. This is a project still under development so while the version you are using should be stable, there are still changes being made that could cause small issues. Once the translator is running, there should be no issues.
