I'm on M2 and it doesn't work for me also - if there is a way to contact them to ask if it's possible to get it working on M1/2 Mac - can someone help.

I´ve tried to install the PKG file but it simply don't put any blur.plugin or something on the regular folders where normally are. Will it be an arm64 version?

In case this is useful for anyone, the pkg installer seems to put the plugin in /Users/mitchellrutkowski instead of your user dir.
But even after I moved it to the correct dir it does not show up--probably the same arm64 problem.

I've just moved it to application support/obs-studio/plugins and it still doesn't show - I'm on the M2 Mac now.In case this is useful for anyone, the pkg installer seems to put the plugin in /Users/mitchellrutkowski instead of your user dir.
Hey guys, Im on a M1 and just made Blur filter to work!
First, you have to move the plugin from /Users/mitchellrutkowski to your user dir just as joshwand pointed.
If you dont see it as a filter in OBS it is because you may have the arm64 version of OBS installed, and the Blur Filter wont work with it.
You will need to install the intel version of OBS to make the Blur Filter available, which totally works on M1 and M2.
However, some other plugins may not work in the Intel version such as "Move" from Exeldro.
Hope this helps

Is that 11% reporting from OBS itself or is from Activity Monitor? Just curious because I have seen scenarios where the CPU activity is different if you compare what OBS tells inside the app and what you actually get in Activity Monitor.

hey guys, this was the workaround I just used.

Using: https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval/releases/tag/v1.0.3
When you add the filter, set your threshold to 1.00.
Scroll to the bottom and look for "Blur background factor (0-no blur).
I put mine to 20.
Note: this increased my CPU usage from 11% to 23%. So definitely not a pretty fix.

Does this work on M1 or M2 Macs? Running the ARM version of OBS?
Good, compare the 11% reported from OBS against the % shown in Activity Monitor, you may be shocked!
I also wanted to use a blur filter for my first use of OBS and found out that the blur filter from mitchellrutkowski is built for Intel and my OBS is arm64. So I decided to build StreamFX from scratch and create a documentation for anyone who wants to compile StreamFX for Mac OS arm64
It's there -> https://gist.github.com/gregbook/ff8ca5b64f9b3f9d195fd3ee7a70522b
PS: Ashmanix blur filter is also a solution but lacks some features (at least for now)
