Hi,

There are many plugins I have installed to /usr/lib/vst that work in Ardour, but won't work in obs-studio. They show up, but when I click them in filters to open them, I get no plugin window popping up. Here is what it says in the terminal.

warning: Couldn't get a pointer to plug-in's main()
warning: VST Plug-in: Can't load effect!
warning: Couldn't get a pointer to plug-in's main()
warning: VST Plug-in: Can't load effect!


In this case, the plugin was loudmax https://www.kvraudio.com/product/loudmax-by-thomas-mundt I also get the same behavior for lsp-plugins https://sourceforge.net/projects/lsp-plugins/files/lsp-plugins/1.1.30/

Plugins that DO work include maximal https://venomode.com/maximal and the daw essentials collection https://www.tracktion.com/products/daw-essentials-collection These plugins load as filters in obs - and WORK! The problem is that they are horrible products. Their limiters are filled with ugly, audible distortion at even 1-2 dB of gain reduction.

I would like to open up the base of plugins that I can use, which requires figuring out what this error above means. Any hints?

Thank you!
