The crash should be fixed with OBS version 26. Can you test if the release candidate of OBS fixes it?

It looks like the Media Controls are built right in to OBS version 26, which is awesome to see.

Deleting Media Source from Scenes doesn't crash OBS anymore, as long as the separate Media Controls plug-in isn't installed.

Thank you again for your contributions to this incredible project.

Does not work on macOS. Installer will operate, but dock will not show up in OBS. Also won't show up in the OBS Application Plugins folder.

Can someone just provide the .so file so we can put it in ourselves?

The buttons to control the media just won't show. I've installed the latest supported Visual C++ ... reinstalled OBS, re-installed the plug-ins, ... still, the result is the same: A box of control with NO BUTTONS as seen in the picture attached.

@MONICA - In the scenes you show in the screenshots I don't see a media source or VLC source, so there are no sources to show controls for.

Hi Guys !
I would like to install "media control" on OBS> I am currently using "Linux Mint" version.
I downloaded yesterday but I cannot find any explanation on Youtube or on internet about how and where to copy paste the 2 folders "bin" and "data" downloaded...
I managed to find OBS Plugin location in the hidden folder ".config" located in "Home". After that, I tried to merge "bin" & "data" in /plugins/obs-linux browser (Not working) and then in /.config/obs-studio/plugin_config (Same). The "media control" doesn't want to appeared in the "Docks section" in the list of the menu. I closed the app before processing. Do you have any idea to help me or any video that could give me a hand ? I tried to fix this issue since 2 days, I start to have an headache :/ Many thanks in advance buddies.

Go to:
~/.config/obs-studio/

Create directory:
/plugins/

Copy the folder 'media-controls' into the /plugins/ directory.

End result:
~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/media-controls

Restart OBS-Studio
Hi, when I paste folder media-controls, the program doesn't open anymore (because there is another bin and data on another folder perhaps?) I tried to remove it but it doesn't open as well. Strange....

I use a Debian (Stretch) based Linux; media-controls is designed with Ubuntu; it does not work with mine, and I do not know if it works with Mint.
That's about as far as I can figure.

Hi OBSnewguy, it should work because there is a linux version on the section Download... :/ Maybe Exeldro would be able to help me ?

For the linux version I depend on other developers to help me. It is build on the ubuntu, because it is provided by github actions.

Quite strange, it looks like I am now able to control media... but still no 'control media' in the menu toolbar on the Docks section. Anyway it is good for me if I can control it in a different way =)

Great plugin!
I was wondering if you could add like a countdown timecode in as well?

My main use case at the moment is like an online chat show style thing (capturing from zoom) and sometimes we throw VTs in there.
When I'm counting the host back in, it would be great if I could just see it as '5, 4, 3, 2,1' in the media controls.
This plugin is a great help though!
