Hallo all...
many thanks to Roberto IS0GRB for this information.... i will also publish the informations about my tests in the last months with libx265 H265 encoder for the use with OBS on Windows and Linux.
So this is without the use of an NVIDIA GPU Card for transmitting H265.
Note before: (please read)
You need a modern computer with good CPU to run the software encoder libx265.
On my Ryzen 3 i could run upto 1280x720x15 in Windows. (with other applications beside e.g. Minitioune RX)
On my Ryzen 5 i could run upto 1920x180x25 in Windows (but this is the CPU limit)
On Linux 1280x720x25 is possible on a Core I7-7700T (low power CPU).
SETUP for WINDOWS:
On windows you have to install the (old) additional virtual camera plugin
https://github.com/Fenrirthviti/obs-virtual-cam/releases
Note: the build in virtual camera in OBS 26 or higher did not work for me....
The used plugin can be found under TOOLS, VIRTUAL CAM and then select OBS-CAMERA
The you have to download ffmpeg unzip all files and put it an an directory you want maybe c:\ffmpeg\
Edit the attached script for your used parameters ...pluto ip.... TS rate and so on.
Rename the script to an bat_file so that you can run it from command line.
After activating the virtual camera you can start the attached OBS_TS_to_Pluto_DG0OPK.bat
In the command window you can see some messages and other debuginformation.
If all is running right you can look in the Pluto analysis window and go to TX if all is ok.
SETUP for LINUX (tested with UbuntuMate 20.04):
In linux you can use libx265 in OBS directly if ffmpeg is installed. Settings are under record and videoencoder libx265.
The output setting is similar like written from Roberto IS0GRB.
An alternative way ist also the use of an external script for linux with the virtual camera.
I wrote me an script for this purpose which you can use the build in virtual camera button on OBS 26 or higher.
Before starting you have to activate the virtual camera in the OBS GUI.
Note: depending on your setup you have to modify the device names in the scripts. Refer to google or other searching machine howto find out your device names for audio uand video devices in linux.
Attached an sample script for linux....which i have used for TS-Rate of 480kbit/s.
rename OBS_TS_to_pluto_linux.sh it to an .sh and make it runnable before.
If all is running right you can look in the Pluto analysis window and go to TX if all is ok.
I hope it helps to others ...
