I'm trying to use Moxfield and OBS to play Spelltable. Whenever I click on "Start Virtual Camera" it doesn't start and I don't get the message "Stop Virtual Camera.
OBS version 27.2.3 Ubuntu version 22.04.1 LTS.

Secure boot is disabled. I have uninstalled and reinstalled v4l2loopback, And I have in installed and reinstalled OBS.
Nothing seems to be working.

If I run "sudo modprobe v4l2loopback" in terminal it seems to solve the issue until the next boot.

Yep. I have a script that is called from root's crontab @reboot. That's one of the things it does.

Actually, v28 and later do it for you, after asking for your password, so I got the source code from github and searched it for modprobe, and copied that line into my script, so it does *exactly* what OBS wants. I'm not on that rig at the moment to copy/paste, but you can do the same thing yourself.

To edit your user's crontab, which runs as your user, crontab -e
To edit root's crontab, sudo crontab -e
