In the github release, for a full two years now (?!?!) it seems that ftl-services are NOT being built.
This isn't to say that FTL isn't working on linux-- it appears that it's working just fine for Ubuntu, so long as you install through the Debian Installer GUI, not through github.
This presents a problem in that presently, Ubuntu is the only linux OS that is able to use FTL out-of-the-box, stranding me when it comes to my little Manjaro install that I'd like to use Mixer FTL on. From what I can see, the output plugin itself, ftl-services.so is outright missing! This of course leads to the stream failing to start, with a GUI error that is... Well, useless, in my case.
And... Since it asks me to check the log for details...
It was about now that i decided to check ~./config/obs-studio/plugins AND /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins ... I didn't find an ftl-services.so. Unfortunately, I lack the coding skills to make a pull request on the github, and (to my complete confusion and actual frustration) issues are disabled (?!) on the github page... Something reserved for projects not actively being developed/supported anymore... Which... Isn't a good sign.
As far as I can tell, this issue isn't new, with yet another thread in this forum being unresolved for 9 months, here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/mixer-ftl-no-encoder.95837/
With ArchLinux (in this sense, is where Manjaro gets its code from), this issue's been tracked (and unfortunately closed!) for two full years, seen here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55441
I don't know if this issue is known of and abandoned, or if it's just that nobody has stuck their nose so high up the tree as I have today, but this issue needs fixing either way. Two years is a long time for what seems to be a simple bug, to be fixed.
