Issue: OBS does not detect my blackmagic card.
System configuration
Ubuntu 18.04
RX 570 open source drivers
uname -a Linux deepcool 4.15.0-45-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No issue with blackmagic software install
When I used obs 21 in the ubuntu repo windows capture would display colours incorrectly. But the blackmagic card would have an option in the obs sources. I forget what it was called So I decided to use obs in the snap repo and that problem was resolved only to be replaced with this one.
How do I have my cake and eat it too?
Run the following command and report the output:
env SNAP_CONFINE_DEBUG=1 snap run obs-studio
The snap packaging probably didn’t migrate the configuration to the new snap revision during a snap upgrade/refresh, you should be able to acquire the old configuration at ~/snap/obs-studio/old_revision
It works now and it has NVENC support! Thank you guys!

I can’t use my video capture card due to an apparmor profile issue.
I’ve made sure that the necessary interfaces where all there:

However when run try to connect add my capture device as a video capture device, the input is an all black screen, and I get this on dmesg:
audit: type=1400 audit(1555187313.230:2295): apparmor=“DENIED” operation=“open” profile=“snap.obs-studio.obs-studio” name="/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor" pid=16491 comm=“obs” requested_mask=“r” denied_mask=“r” fsuid=1000 ouid=0
Running the snap with --classic is a workaround, but I think it defeats part of the purpose of using snaps.

Seems like that would be allowed by hardware-observe from this line: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/interfaces/builtin/hardware_observe.go#L49

What is your video capture card’s model anyway?
It’s the one that Slimbook sells, it works perfectly under Ubuntu. I’ve used already on previous occasions.
As you can see on my previous post, that is an interface that was present and connected.
OBS does detect the device, It just can’t read from it.
Driver update broke OBS.

I’ve just triggered a rebuild which should land in the edge channel a little later. If you snap refresh obs-studio --edge can you give that a shake and see if it’s still got a problem?
I’ve discussed about this topic on the IRC and it appears to be a problem within the NVIDIA support glue.
No dice.

Hey there!
My OBS snap won’t start.
I have 2 versions of OBS installed, first one from ppa:obsproject/obs-studio, second one is this snap. They both have version 24.0.3. The first one works, the second doesn’t.

I have amdgpu-pro installed. I tried to run it on different kernels (4.15, 5.0, 5.3), I tried candidate channel (version 21), doesn’t make any change.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
UPD: spelling
I have a two PC streaming setup with the gaming PC running Windows 10 and the encoder PC running Ubuntu 19.10. However, if I install OBS from the official website, I can install and setup the NDI plugin and get it to see the gaming PC’s video stream without any issues. The problem is that I can’t see the Nvidia NVENC hardware encoder on this version of OBS.
If I install this snap version of OBS, then the encoder is available but the NDI plugin isn’t detected. I checked and it is indeed installed correctly (the NDI plugin) and fully up to date.
Bottom line is that I want to have both the NVENC hardware encoder and NDI plugin working in OBS to get the best possible encoding performance out of my system without having to go back to Windows 10. Is there something different about the snap version of OBS that prevents it from “seeing” the NDI plugin?
I fixed the problem by clean installing Ubuntu 18.04.3 and then doing the following:
- Install the latest Nvidia driver from Nvidia.com
- Install the latest Nvidia CUDA Toolkit from Nvidia.com
- Install OBS from the OBS website, not the Snap version
- Install the NDI plugin
Now my system has NVENC support in OBS and the NDI plugin works as it should.
Hello 
I am new of SnapCraft, as already pointed out, it would be awesome if you provide the obs-linuxbrowser bundled within the package. Actually, being able to use a browser in OBS is quite an important feature. What do you think?
Everything is working fine from me, I am using Ubuntu 19.10 with NVENC.
Great work!
