uname -a Linux roedy 4.19.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.98-1+deb10u1 (2020-04-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I installed obs studio from the debian apt repository, version OBS Studio - 0.0.1 (linux)

I was able to build and install this plugin just fine, but on my system obs is looking in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins
directory instead of
/usr/lib/obs-plugins
and was unable to find the plugin. The local files are all still located in
/usr/share/obs/obs-plugins

I was able to symlink the library into the other plugin folder and load the plugin, but I didn't see any sort of options in obs to indicate where to pull plugins from and changing the DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu changed the installation path of the locale files as well as the library. I'm not sure if I just missed a config step or didn't configure OBS correctly, but I figured I'd share this for anyone interested

I installed OBS from the OBS Studio PPA, like this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt update

and now it looks in the right place

I just created the symlink

ln -s /usr/lib/obs-plugins/v4l2sink.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins

its working without problems
