Blackmagic DeckLink Input Via Flatpak Installer

[MicahBP]

Hey guys,

I've searched the OBS forum, Blackmagic's forum, the web, YouTube and called BMD support. I can't seem to find a proper answer to this.

I have a Decklink Quad HDMI 4K that is installed properly with Blackmagic's software but there's no input into OBS. Obviously I OBS is a Flatpak and thus pretty sand-boxed.

My question is this... how can I get input into OBS from my Decklink card?! If I can find a proper answer I would love to make a YouTube video for anyone else who is having the same problem. This is crazy lol

Also, BMD provides an SDK, does that not help at all to implement this functionality?

UPDATE: Shout out to the guys on the OBS Discord, but you basically have to install via the OBS PPA on the OBS website and it works flawlessly! Great community over there and I appreciate their help!!
