OBS Overlay Not Loading
If OBS Browser Sources show a blank white page or the overlay is not updating, work through these steps.
1. Confirm the server is started in Fluffer
The overlay only works when the server is actively running in Fluffer. Open Fluffer → Tip4Fuel → OBS Overlay and confirm the server shows "Running." If it shows "Stopped," tap Start Server.
2. Check your phone and PC are on the same Wi-Fi network
The overlay server is local. Both your phone and your streaming PC must be on the same Wi-Fi network. If your phone is on mobile data or a different network, the PC cannot reach the server.
3. Confirm the URL includes the session token
Every widget URL must include ?k=[your-token]. If you copied the URL before the server generated a token, or the token is missing, the widget will return an authentication error instead of the overlay.
Copy the URL from the Fluffer OBS Overlay screen again and paste it fresh into the OBS Browser Source settings.
4. Enable "Disable web security" in OBS (if loading over HTTPS)
If your OBS scene is configured with HTTPS sources, the browser security model may block the widget URL (which is HTTP). In OBS:
Open Browser Source properties
Check Disable web security (or set "Allow pages to access LAN resources")
Click OK and refresh the source
5. Refresh the Browser Source
Right-click the Browser Source in OBS and select Refresh (or press F5 while it is selected). This forces a fresh connection to the local server.
6. Restart the server
Stop the server in Fluffer and start it again. Then refresh the OBS Browser Sources.
Once the overlay is working, position the Browser Source in your scene, save the scene, and OBS will reconnect automatically the next time you start the server in Fluffer.
