Platform
Operating system and version: Windows 10
OBS Studio version: 26.1.1
Expected Behavior
No connections to OBS servers made
Current Behavior
Connection is made to obsproject.com to download the following urls:
https://obsproject.com/update_studio/whatsnew.json
https://obsproject.com/obs2_update/rtmp-services/package.json
Steps to Reproduce
- Install OBS
- Launch OBS
- Open settings (file -> settings -> general), uncheck "automatically check for updates on startup"
- Save settings
- Restart OBS
Additional information
The request to https://obsproject.com/update_studio/whatsnew.json also contains a "X-OBS2-GUID" header, which appears to be an installation identifier. Presumably this is used as telemetry to keep track of how many installations are there and how often they're used (since the request is made every time OBS launches).
