OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite 4K Control
Posted by HelloBloop@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 10 comments
Hai!
I’ve been hacking away on a repo that started life as a fork of another OBSBOT control tool but it’s evolved. My version is now tailored specifically for the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite 4K, with full support for all its major features it's got:
- Seamless AI tracking + HDR support
- a Virtual Camera feature
- KDE/Plasma theme awareness (tested on Plasma 6.5)
- Built & tested on Arch Linux 6.17.5
I’m hoping to get some more eyes (and distros) on it. So, if you’re running Debian, Fedora, or anything else, I’d love your feedback or contributions!
I plan to add in-app color correction, filters, and other creative controls so you can make your webcam feed look real snazzy.

Also, I renamed my repo to https://github.com/aaronsb/obsbot-camera-control so it would be consistent with the AUR package, obsbot-camera-control.

this looks really good. I have just installed on Kubuntu 26.04. I am using a Tiny 2 Lite. I prefer this GUI to the original Windows one.

This sounds fantastic! Love how you've optimized it for KDE/Plasma – the attention to desktop integration is top-notch. Arch Linux testing feels like a badge of honor, but hearing how it runs on Debian/Fedora will be insightful. AI tracking + HDR is a game-changer. If you need a hand with in-app color correction or filters, I’m happy to take a peek at the repo. Great work opening the doors for collaboration and creativity!

Hi! I'm the original author, aaronsb!
I cherry picked all your commits into my branch and merged them all together. Thanks for the improvements, and I like how you've got the camera device control partitioning set up. I compacted the ui layour after your updates a bit on my repo because there were a lot of fixed width items that forced the ui to scroll. What are your plans for image processing? I kept the virtual camera because it's probably necessary to create a pipeline to do effects.

Hey! I sent you an email last night! Very cool!
I'm thinking of using ffmpeg for filters and opencv for processing right now. But I'd like to figure out how to integrate OpenCV and GLSL and use those instead!

lol as you can see I probably check reddit more than my email.
I would be careful about making the package 'do too much'. But I think some constrained things would be: using opencv for super advanced tracking (better than the obsbot firmware can do), as well as fun stuff like image filters. there would need to be some routes in an an image processing bus - (opencv commands might actually drive pan and tilt, for example. and filters would be applied AFTER image source ingest (to not break opencv)

Great ideas! I'm going to try to work on it a little more this week. I'll make a branch for adding these features and try to figure out how to minimize resource utilization!
aaronsb@reddit
in order to reduce overhead, would you be willing to fork my repo and create a pr?

Sure!

Wonderful!
