Hello, I need your help please. I have an Ubuntu 20.04 server. I have successfully updated it to version 22.04. I have OBS version 29.0.2 installed and I need to install the 'Source Switcher' plugin for OBS. However, I couldn't find the .deb package, so I downloaded the .zip version. I extracted the subfolders and placed them in /usr/share/obs/ but it didn't work. Then, I tried placing them in /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/ but it still didn't work. Thank you for your help.

Did you ever find a solution? I tried the obs-plugins directory in both /usr/share/obs/ and ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins
Neither works for me.

Hello. I've just switched form Windows to Linux and i'm struggling to get source switcher to work. Has anyone managed to work out where the files need to be saved? Like gregzme17 I've tried the same directories as him, but no luck. I'm also on Linux Mint.
