NON-FLATPAK PLUGINS NOT WORKING ON OBS 31.0.1 RUNNING ON FEDORA 41
Thanks
@The_Ball &
@mrpowerup for what you've put above. I'm not sure which versions of Fedora you were on, so not sure if this is an issue introduced since you posted. Hopefully you or others can help.
I'm running OBS 31.0.1 from the official Flathub on a fresh Fedora 41 workstation
OBS Works fine.
Have installed Waveform plugin via flatpak and it works fine too. So flatpak plugins are go.
In order to install the non-flatpak plugins i need. I've created:
/home/<username>/.config/obs-studio/plugins and placed two plugins (3d-effect & obs-midi-mg) in the above mentioned way:
Code:
~/.config/obs-studio$ tree
.
└── plugins
├── 3d-effect
│ ├── bin
│ │ └── 64bit
│ │ └── 3d-effect.so
│ └── data
│ └── locale
│ ├── de-DE.ini
│ ├── en-US.ini
│ ├── es-ES.ini
│ ├── pt-BR.ini
│ └── zh-CN.ini
└── obs-midi-mg
├── bin
│ └── 64bit
│ └── obs-midi-mg.so
└── data
└── locale
└── en-US.ini
The specific plugins aren't important, they simply represent plugins that don't have a flatpak option.
Launch OBS and nothing. I had these plugins working on the same OBS version on POP!_OS last week, so I know they work. This seems to be a fedora issue. Any help appreciated. Am I missing something?
Here's part of the OBS log file: (in bold you see it loading waveform)

Interestingly since waveform (flatpack) is working if I look for it I find it here:
/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.waveform/x86_64/stable/90bdSOMELONGHASHc64/files/lib/obs-plugins/waveform.so
So does this mean that flatpak installed plugins are placed in a different place from non-flatpak plugins?
All help really appreciated. I'm dead in the water and have a live show looming ;)
Cheers
