Ok, try that. Sorry it was the wrong one. I just started the stream and messed around with a few things - I never tried to run any games or anything.

Ok, a general thing:
OBS installs a 64bit version and a 32bit version, you are totally fine using the 32bit one, which you currently do. But if you want to use the plugin with that version, you have to download the 32bit version of the plugin, and extract it to the 32bit OBS folder.

https://github.com/Jack0r/CLRBrowse...0140909/CLRBrowserSourcePlugin-20140909x86.7z
Open 7zip with administrative rights, then open that 7zip file and extract it to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS\plugins

Since you mentioned installing the required dependencies, it should then work right away!

That gave me a second Program Files(x86) with just OBS inside. Which would be fine if it worked. But it does not. The main Program Files(x86) doesn't have obs at all.

Also, Why does it say 64b at the top if it's 32? How do you tell?

I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions. I'm just beyond frustrated and I feel like I am doing everything that has been said to do with no results. :/

Looks like you copy-pasted what jack0r wrote and his accidentally omitted the space in the folder name...it should have been C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS\plugins.

The current version of OBS is 0.64 beta. That is not the bit version, that is the program version. Since it does not say "64-bit" at the top, that means you are using the 32-bit version.

Just in case I haven't mentioned this yet, OBS is ONLY in my regular program files folder. OBS is not an option in the Program Files(x86)

Well. On a whim I decided to switch users on my computer to my boyfriends side. Guess what. It works on his side. You can add the clr browser and set up alerts and stuff. Why is this?
I gave my user account administrative rights and tried again. Still nothing. Still works on his side. UGH. I hate computers.

Sorry, I corrected my mistake its: C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS\plugins
You can also do the following:

• Right-click your OBS shortcut (on the desktop for example) and click on Open File Location, that should get you to the 32bit folder.
• Go into the plugins folder and keep that folder open in the background.
• Now right-click the shortcut to 7zip (probably in your start menu) and select run as administrator.
• In 7zip, browse to your downloads folder and open the CLRBrowserSourcePlugin-20140909x86.7z.
• Now you can put your 7zip window on the left and the obs plugins folder on the right, then select the files to extract in 7zip and just move them to the OBS folder.

Close both windows and start OBS :)

And/or maybe show us a log from your friends account too if you can, to see if he uses the 32 or 64bit version of OBS, etc.

Here is a new log from his side.

 

[Jack0r]

ah, on his side you are running the 64bit OBS, so the installation of the plugin worked for the 64bit version.
You have two options then I guess, try what I mentioned above to get the plugin into the 32bit version. (Maybe you can do it with him, on his account, they should both share the program files folders I guess)
Or you check your start menu for the Open Broadcaster Software (64bit) Shortcut and run OBS with this, instead of your normal shortcut.

 

[onebirdstwoscones]

Ok, I went into the OBS folder and made a new shortcut as an admin and that worked. Thanks for the responses everyone!

I had the same sort of issue - not sure how I botched the installation, maybe I went from 32bit to 64bit, but here is how I got this to work:

My 64BIT version of OBS runs out of C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS. And under that directory is a "64bit" directory.
In THIS directory is another 'plugins' directory, and THAT is where I had to put the DLL and the CLRHostPlugin folders.
Works as expected now.

So again, might be worth checking to see if you have this directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS\64bit\plugins

That can only happen if you copied the binaries zip over your OBS install directory.
