Plugins not working (Refer to MMdisc from Reddit's M1 Plugins)
Closed this issue · 9 comments
I had some M1 OBS plugins compiled by MMdisc on reddit, they worked great on his version of OBS. But they don't work on this one.

check that thread, MMdisc uploaded both his OBS version and his M1 optimized plugins.
With my very limited knowledge of how these things work, I have identified that the plugin installers use Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins. However, your version of OBS doesn't load the settings from there. I can delete the whole obs-studio folder in application support and it doesn't affect the stuff on your version.
Yeah, the default version and MMDisc versions of OBS install to all users, where as your version puts the settings under USERS/Username/Library/Application Support instead.
copying over application support from all users to specific user doesn't seem to be enough to get the plugins working. I will keep testing different theories.
This seems to make it work (suggested by MMdisc as a workaround, but supposedly there is a better way to approach it):
%sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.2/Frameworks/QtWidgets.framework /Library/Frameworks/QtWidgets.framework
%sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.2/Frameworks/QtGui.framework /Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework
%sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.2/Frameworks/QtCore.framework /Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework
The MMdisc's plugins you downloaded link to libraries placed in other subdirectories, that's why they don't work for this build. I compiled a couple of plugins and I needed to change cmake settings to point to the right place. Perhaps the cleanest solution is to compile them yourself (not harder that symlinking everything).
Based on this comment of yours, it appears that you need the Qt library for one of your plugins. This build does not include Qt; I believe this is also the limiting factor behind why an official ARM-compatible version doesn't exist yet.
I would recommend compiling OBS yourself or waiting for the OBS developers to make an official version available.
Since no work is needed on my part, I am going to close this issue. I'm all open for idea, however. Comment here if you have any, and I'll see what I can incorporate into this source code!
I am running into a related issue. No matter what I do I cannot get plugs to load. Where should plugs be located?
