Hi folks,
Wondering if you could help me with OBS studio 20.1.3 on opensuse LEAP 42.3. I added media source (video mp4) but it's not being played - no video or sound. Also I can not see VLC media source pn the source list and I have my VLC installed. Here is the log file https://gist.github.com/cbd8053ceaed243f2741c157b0ef6361
I have some scenes imported from windows version but have also created fresh set of scenes with the same result.
Any tips are very appreciated.

Thanks

From your log files you don't have the VLC module loaded. This have 2 possibilities. Either you don't have VLC installed on your system or you have a version with a differente bitness from the obs executable (32vs64bits).

About not having audio. You can't just import audio sources from Windows as they use different modules. I recommend recreating all your audio sources.

For further support and faster responses i suggest you try the discord server https://discord.gg/obsproject

Thank you for that.
Indeed it lookslike there was a version conflict. opensuse installer seems to install 32bit vlc as default. I have fully removed vlc then installed 64bit one. Then switched FFmpeg packages to Packman as per instruction on OBS Install Instructions site. Video is now playing fine.

Many thanks!
