Plugin install on flatpak installation

[lionsdenstl]

I have installed OBS via Flatpak. Several of the plugins I want to use are not listed for flatpak installation. How can I install these plugins?

Hi,
I managed to install plugins fot my flatpak installation by copying the plugin in the followig directory :
/var/lib/flatpak/app/com.obsproject.Studio/current/active/files/plugins

I doubt that it will be persistent after any upgrade though.

Hope this can help.

Flatpak, snap, and other sandbox systems are designed for isolation-based security. It's intentionally hard to do anything with them that wasn't already done before the package was made, and hard to connect them to the outside world like a media system kinda needs.

Remove the sandboxed version, install the official repository, and install natively from there. For Debian-based systems, which also includes Ubuntu and its derivatives:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install obs-studio

Then the normal process to install plugins should also work.
