Hello! I am new to the OBS community.

I stalled OBS on my MacBook Pro (High Sierra - ver 10.13.6). I had it all set up and working just fine. It shut down unexpectedly. I tried to reopen it. The icon would bounce in the dock, then stop. An error message would pop up. After a few iterations of this, I uninstalled OBS, re-installed it, restarted the computer and got the same error.

I included an error log.
Please help!

I found the OBS log files. Maybe this will be better than the Apple Error file I included last time.

Solution:
OBS was not the problem.

I tried starting OBS from the terminal window and it failed. The error was:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"
in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Abort trap: 6

After a little research, I discovered that this plugin was part of the EpocCam install. I uninstalled it. OBS worked again.

How do you start out from terminal? My OBS does exactly what yours Did on my iMac and I cannot even get it to open without crashing

I'm not an expert at any of this, but I found the script below and ran it. Initially I ran it and got the error that's shown above. After uninstalling my web cam drivers, I open OBS as usual and it worked.

sudo /applications/obs.app/contents/macos/obs

Let me know if it works for you.
