When i open obs, i get the windows with missing files, but i tried to search them with find-source-location.lua too but is like those files aren't in my obs. So, how i can fix it?
 
For example i have that missing file

It may be entered as a stinger transition.
Also you're going to want to turn off debug logging of websockets

no stringer transition with those files. But the problem is when i press on add media source, it happears in alredy created media sources list, but i can't find it in any scene... it's crazy
About debug logging is alredy off
 
Create a new media source in some scene and choose the "add existing" option to add the source you're unable to locate. Then either apply a correct file name, or if you want to get rid of it, delete the source. May be it's then gone for good.

Still the same. I tried to change the multimedial file with one avaible and then cancel the media source tab, restart obs and nothing change. I tried to change the name of the media soucer tab and cancel it, restart obs and still nothing...
 
The source not listed in the scenes means bug in .json (during saving or whoever knows why, maybe "undo" bug...). For debugging purposes you may export your current Scene Collection and share it with the developers (if they wish too look at this bug themselves).

The next steps are optional.
After the export, restart OBS. Then try to click at the New file (empty field) of the Missing Files dialog window and click remove the file button (it appear only after you will click the empty field). Normally, there should appear new text saying <cleared>. Then you need to click Apply button to complete the changes. Just interesting how OBS will operate in your case.

As for the user, it will be much easier (?) to re-create the current set of the scenes (the scene collection) from the backup copy that you made manually long time ago (you did it, yeah? I'm sure...). And after the creation of the new scene collection complete, you may remove the troublesome.

I have the same problem every startup. And there seems to be no way to delete the references to those files. I've been dealing with this since about 2020 because all attempts to search for those files in any of my scenes turned up zero.
I wish they would add a feature to delete references when they are no longer valid so OBS doesn't put this error up ever start up.
