Super frusttrated XBot user

so, first congratulations i think there is a big need for a good working app, like this and it seems that the availble “professional” solutions all have big issues and glitches and nothing works very good at the moment.

We are a small soccer (football) club in a quite crowded neighborhood in Germany - with youth and senior teams. I am trying to find an easy way to stream our Friday evening matches live on youtube - I bought an Xbot Chameleon - it worked the first match ok, not great but it gave us some results - however many glitches and probs with the app - i reported this to their support and also ceo on linkedin - no feedback. Yesterday the whole thing was not tracking the game at all - app was streaming but no ball tracking - nothing. Gave up after 1 hour of resetting , updating , connecting, trying to use various phones, etc - I am an Android guy, but I am willing to buy Apple and a good Gimble to support this app. Would be great to build a working alternative. Also i have a big feature and wishlist for the software : SRT support, OBS integration, Weblayer overlayer - also it seems to be hard to mirror the iphone on a laptop and there is no scrcpy available, but if the phone is mounted on a high position the app need some kind of remote control otherwise you have to climb the ladder up and down. I will send a more detail email to Gilbert in the next days

I understand your frustration. I wrote a comparison here: https://folocam.com/folocam_vs_xbotgo.html. Honestly, I think most of the issues with the XbotGo stem from its underlying design and may not be possible to fix with software updates.

SRT, OBS integration, and web overlays would all be useful additions. Please send me more details about your setup and wishlist. It would help me decide what to prioritize.

Hey, OBS works flawlessly with local RTMP server. Just point the Folocam RTMP to it and do the necessary postproduction in OBS. I use it to put scoreboard overlay to my stream, halftime stats, etc.

Hi,

what settings do I need to configure in OBS? The screen stays black when I’m on my home network.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, You need to have the RTMP server running on your local machine. Need to point the folocam feed to it. Check at the server that you are receiving the stream. Once confirmed, in OBS create new Media source. Uncheck loval file and you should be able to input the rtmp url from the server. Input format, set rtmp. You should get the feed in OBS.
