I am trying to add a VLC video playlist to my stream. I have current OBS and VLC 3.0 installed. When I check my log file I see this almost immediately.

I know I'm at least running my OS in 64bit mode through this terminal command: getconf LONG_BIT

*edit*
Also found this thread searching for 1): Library not loaded: @rpath/libvlccore.dylib

*edit*
Found a workaround by going back to VLC 2.2 and it shows up as a source
