Debugging Your Plugins

XSplit Broadcaster exposes Chromium DevTools Protocol targets for plugin pages when developer mode is enabled.

Enable Developer Mode

Open Tools > Settings > Advanced and enable developer mode, then restart Broadcaster. The default remote debugging page is:

http://localhost:9222

You can also launch Broadcaster with a remotedebug:<port> startup parameter if you need a different port.

Select a Target

Open the debugging page in a browser. Each target is labeled by its page title or URL. Select the target for your source, extension, or source properties window.

For the regression harness in this repository, the expected extension URL starts with:

http://localhost:3999/xsplit-extension/

The raw CDP runner uses this URL to select the XSplit-hosted target and run the regression suite from the host CEF runtime.

Source Properties Windows

Source properties windows are harder to inspect because they are hosted by the Broadcaster properties surface. If you need to debug that page, open the source properties window first, then select the matching properties debugger target from the remote debugging page.

CEF 103 is the compatibility target for XSplit-hosted pages in this repository. Modern Chrome smoke tests are useful, but the CDP runner is the authority for hosted regression data.
