OBS on Apple Silicon

Has anyone tried building an M1 binary for 12.3 that includes Apple's new Window Capture code?

I compiled the latest git earlier today on 12.3 and it compiled great, but I wasn't aware of any new Windows Capture code... I didn't test that as I don't use it.

First off, I'd like to say thank you to all of you that have contributed to this thread and those that came before you to develop this project. I have recently switched my workflow from pc to Mac for my production studio and this issue has been a huge hurdle in that transition for me. I was overjoyed to see the beta work more efficiently and cleanly than the official release running through main repo.

I'd like to see if anyone has found a solution to some of the issues that I've been having, first being with capturing audio outputs. I can't seem to be able to capture audio outputs no matter what source I try. I know the browser source plug-in is being worked on but I have yet to been able to properly get the NDI plugin working properly (I'm sure I'm the problem). I've tried using the installer and placing the .so file in the plugins folder in the application support folder, with no luck.

If anyone could offer any assistance I'd be extremely grateful.

OBS cannot capture desktop audio on Mac like you know from Windows computers. That is not problem of the beta.

I have not been able to get any of the NDI packages installed, I know I must be missing a step but after several attempts I am still in need of assistance.

Could anyone assist me further with this?

While I haven't tested it with an NDI device yet, I did get it to show up in OBS Studio by following the instructions. Can you offer any more details on what's going on / resulting as you go through the steps?

Any news about stream deck compatibility with Obs apple silicon 27.2.0-115 version?
I added the stream deck plugin available in this thread inside the suggested folder "library>> application support >> obs studio >> plugins", but the stream deck keeps saying that "elgato remote control plugin is missing"
I've tried almost every suggestion here and the plugin still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

ok, I solved it, just re-authorize the obs in the system's privacy preferences.
The obs already appeared authorized, but it was necessary to redo it.
Its working now, thanks!

Hi all. Thank you all for the wonderful discussion - I've taken the time to read and got my Streamdeck working again thanks to this thread!

Does anyone know if there is an M1 native version of this plug in: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/recursion-effect.124371/

Thanks.
Let me be more specific:
@callimeron are you able to do an ARM version of this plug in ? If not because you're busy with other projects and things, I understand.

Thanks again for doing the streamdeck one. It works PERFECTLY (actually, even better than the 'original' one).

Hi! This is a question for those who are running native OBS 27.2 on M1. I would like to know if this happens to more people before opening an issue in Github.

If you add a video as a Media Source and loop it, from 27.2 it does not "loop smooth". Depending the video you use, it freezes for a moment when it loops, or starts looping in wrong position. It's really easy to reproduce it. In 27.1.3 it works well.

I downloaded several versions from github (also the commit which became the official 27.2.4) and it happens in all of them.

It happens in all videos, tried H.264, VP9, hardware and sofware rendering. My only solution was to roll back to 27.1.3.

Can anyone confirm this problem in his computer please?

I was able to test the March 21st Github build artifact. Perf is great! One issue I have is with the Virtual Camera requesting screen capture permission and it not taking effect. Even multiple OBS ARM restarts each time I change the source window it sends me to settings where it's already enabled.

Also, for my own benefit and other potential testers, how can I identify the newest nightly build artifacts from the GitHub project? I dug around Actions and tried filters and looking for newer ARM build artifacts I didn't see them.

Anyone able to get the latest M1 Spectralizer working yet? Doesn't seem to appear on my M1 OBS build (it was working previously)
Same problem here. On my rosetta version I can see the plugin but not on the M1 optimized build. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Please correct me if I'm wrong or add additional details, I was not able to narrow it down specifically to the nightly builds, but I did find a way to more reliably download updated builds.
From the Github repo go to Actions, BUILD, add the filters branch:master and is:success you'll find several builds each day, the jp9000 user has a lot of them but not every single day so I'm not quite in the right place yet. Select one of those builds and scroll down to Artifacts to find a newer ARM build disk image.
A link to the same location: Successful master branch builds.
(Window Capture and Virtual Camera now working perfectly)

How do you install these arm builds?
