Question / Help Add VLC does not appear on the OBS program in the Windows server 2012 r2

Add VLC does not appear on the OBS program in the Windows server 2012 r2

Even though it appears in Windows 7

You don't have the matching version of vlc installed on your windows server machine.

The two versions are identical to 64 bit

It uses VLC from an actual VLC installation, so it searches the registry for a VLC installation to activate the plugin. The version of VLC you install must be of the same architecture as the architecture of OBS you're running (for example 64bit). So if you use 64bit OBS (which is default), you must download the 64bit version of VLC. Unfortunately, the 64bit version of VLC is not the default one they provide on their site, you have to navigate their website a bit to get the download for it. You could also just use the 32bit version of OBS as well, which is also installed and is in your start menu.

If you want the 64bit version of VLC, there's a little drop-menu arrow on the right side of the "Download VLC" button on their downloads page here:
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

There it'll have an option to download the 64bit installer for VLC.

I could of course be mistaken in how Windows Server works -- perhaps it doesn't install with the same registry, but it shouldn't be doing that, so I'm assuming you may have just installed VLC 32bit by mistake.

This is what you downloaded and installed but the problem still exists​

VLC 2.2.5 for Windows 64 bits​

Thank You Jim...
I have been trying to figure that out for the longest time...

 

[Banyarola]

I just installed it on Windows 64 bit and it shows now in OBS..

 

[proner]

I already installed the OBS 64 bit version of the 64bit vlc program but it does not appear in OBS

 

[Banyarola]

Jim said he wasn't sure it worked with server windows...
You'll just have to wait until he can tell you what to do because I don't know.
Sorry I can't help you more.

Either .dll is blocked, or needs other linkage. So, you cannot use VLC plugin on this PC.

Edit: and try to install intel graphics at least.

 

[proner]

I did not quite understand what you meant by that

Edit: and try to install intel graphics at least.

 

[Simes]

It means install drivers for your GPU. Your log shows that you don't have any graphics drivers installed at all.

 

[proner]

I have searched a lot about the GPU definitions of Windows Server 2012 and have not found anything

 

[Simes]

I can't help you with that, I don't know anything about Windows Server 2012.
