Hello OBS Community,
I'm new to OBS development and currently working on a personal project. My goal is to create a simple application that uses libobs for replay functionality. I'm still learning the ins and outs of OBS, so please forgive me if I overlook something obvious!
I’m trying to package my application into a single EXE file using Costura.Fody to embed all dependencies, including the OBS modules and plugins (DLL files). The main challenge I'm facing is with module loading.
In my code, I usually set the module path like this:
However, after embedding the DLLs inside the EXE, there are no physical files in the obs-plugins directory. This causes obs_load_all_modules() to fail since it cannot locate the required plugins and modules.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance on the best way to approach this. Ideally, I’d like to avoid managing external DLLs and keep everything contained within a single EXE file, if feasible.
Thank you for your help!
