Call for testing: OBS-Studio snap

Anibyl · November 14, 2019, 8:11am

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!

Hello,

Does someone know how to add plugins in the OBS snap folder?
I would like to add motion-transition and reaplugs.

Thanks.
