[Request] OBS output/program as a source (using source mirror?) #793

Explain the Feature/Enhancement

Hello.

I think a nice addition to the source mirror would be to select the main OBS output/program as a source, so we can use it in a scene for multiple good reasons. I know this can be done by starting a virtual camera output or using NDI but both are not ideal for using from inside the same OBS instance. Having a "current output/program" selectable from the sources dropdown from inside source mirror would be awesome.

What makes this feature/enhancement useful for StreamFX and its users?

This would be very useful for creating a scene that could show the current output as information, add effects over it, change its aspect ration or crop for a different social media like Instagram (using source record plugin) and so on.

Checklist

• I am offering a monetary bounty/reward for the implementation of this Feature/Enhancement.
• There is no other way to currently do this in StreamFX or OBS Studio.

Any additional Information we need to know?

I think using the currently available source mirror could save from extra code by creating a new source type or something like that... Thank you!
