Free Scoreboard Overlay and Controller Plugin 5.0.0

Fly Scoreboard 5.0 is a major update focused on modular sports graphics, simpler control, and a clearer setup experience.

Important changes before updating

• - Fly Scoreboard no longer creates, selects, renames, resizes, or changes OBS Browser Sources.
• - Existing OBS sources remain under your control. Add each HTML panel manually as a local-file Browser Source and arrange it directly in the OBS preview.
• - Templates must be copied to a location where OBS can read and write files, such as your Documents folder, before use.
• - Use Template Folder... in the dock to choose the copied template directory itself. The previous source/template selection dropdown has been removed.

New modular football setup

• - Added a complete football broadcast setup with four independent panels:
  • - Scoreboard
  • - Fouls
  • - Yellow and red cards
  • - Corners
• - Every panel has its own HTML file, so it can be added, positioned, resized, shown, or hidden independently in OBS.
• - All panels stay synchronized with the same teams, scores, match statistics, timers, and visibility state.
• - The default football setup now includes Score, Fouls, Yellow Cards, Red Cards, and Corners controls.

Easier template workflow

• - Replaced the old dropdown workflow with one clear Template Folder... button.
• - The active template name is shown as plain text in the dock.
• - Added an Open button for quick access to the active template files.
• - The plugin creates and updates the shared match state in the selected writable template folder.
• - Included a template README with recommended writable locations for Windows, macOS, native Linux, and OBS Flatpak.

Scores, statistics, and timers

• - Scores are no longer limited to three digits.
• - Added clearer controls for football-specific statistics.
• - Improved left/right team handling when sides are swapped.
• - Multiple timers can be created and displayed in custom templates.
• - The default match timer now counts upward.
• - Templates can display timers as minutes and seconds or include hours for longer events.

Event logs and timestamps

• - Added an Events tab to the dock.
• - Streaming or recording can automatically start a new event log.
• - Score changes, statistic changes, timer actions, visibility changes, and side swaps can be recorded automatically.
• - Manual events such as penalties, goals, substitutions, or shots on target can be added during a match.
• - Choose between stream-relative timestamps and real clock time.
• - Event files can be opened directly from the dock and used for chapters, highlights, or match reports.

Remote control and live data

• - Added local remote control for scores, statistics, timers, visibility, and event logging.
• - External sports-data tools can update Fly Scoreboard while manual dock controls remain available.
• - Modular panels receive updates together, keeping the complete sports setup synchronized.

Installation improvements

• - Windows packages now place the plugin, locales, and templates in their correct OBS folders.
• - macOS and Linux packages use their native OBS plugin locations.
• - Templates are clearly separated from the plugin files and include instructions for copying them to a writable location.

Documentation

• - Reworked the documentation around the new manual-source and modular-template workflow.
• - Added complete setup and installation instructions for Windows, macOS, Linux, and OBS Flatpak.
• - Added a full template reference explaining available tags, scores, statistics, timers, conditional content, and reusable panel creation.
• - Added guides for external live data, remote control, event logs, and timestamps.

Fixed the Windows GitHub package layout.

Adds a reusable formatting framework: .run-format.zsh, small formatter wrappers (build-aux/run-*) and helper logging functions, plus composite GitHub actions (run-clang-format, run-gersemi) and a check-format workflow that is invoked from PR and push workflows. Updates PowerShell Windows scripts (Build-Windows.ps1, Package-Windows.ps1) to simplify logic, load utility functions, improve error checks, and produce a ZIP staged with the OBS plugin layout. CMake updated to link Qt Network and include a new websocket server source/header. Many docs, README, overlay assets, and locale files updated to reflect features and packaging changes.

- Fixed the rebranding urls
- Added button to shoiw / hide the footer carousell
- Fixed the stats not saving issue in the dock

• Added Single Score options to resolve issues that occurred when swapping teams while using single-value score settings.
• Updated the documentation at fly-score.obscountdown.com to help you get started quickly and create sports overlays for any game.

Removed the local webserver dependency
Cleaned up the dock to save up as much space as possible

Implemented visual togglers on timers

• Improved versioning preset for cleaner, more consistent release management.
• Optimized local webserver health-check, significantly reducing unnecessary polling and improving overall responsiveness.
• Updated plugin script architecture to support the newly introduced team color system
  (Requires updating your custom overlays to match the new structure.)
• Added a dedicated Start/Stop Webserver button directly in the dock for faster control and better workflow.
• Refreshed the default overlay template to fully align with the latest structural and design improvements.

- Fixed the base overlay to correctly update the fields on the scoreboard (However this is just an example, you can use the placeholders to create your own custom overlays)

- Updated the dock to fit the default obs studio dock style
