Pthread Text 2.0.5

[norihiro]

I suppose for Windows this plugin can not be expected?

I'm sorry I tried to build for Windows 2 years ago but I almost gave up.
For Windows, I recommend to use Browser Source. it can load from local file, and CSS can specify nice outline, shadow, etc.

Hello! I've installed the ARM version on OBS 28, but somehow the text is never showing. What could this be?
I tried different fonts, sizes, color, width/height changes, tinkered with every other settings.

I'm sorry that I have never tested this plugin on ARM but just build the same source code for ARM. So far I have no idea to prepare debugging environment for ARM. PR would be welcome if someone find the way to fix the bug.

No problem!
If there is something I (as a non-programmer) could provide to you that would help debugging, just let me know what I can do.

Browser Source has a problem, when saving a file, the data in the OBS is not updated

Could you provide a log file?
I just got similar issue on Ubuntu and it's reporter shows a log line below. If the same line is logged, it would be helpful.

[obs-text-pthread] Cannot load '(null)'

Es una pena que no tenga

Hello! Thank you so much for this plugin--as a Linux Mint OBS user who's been limited to the FreeType2 text source options instead of GDI+, this plugin is beautiful.

One question... is there a way to have the text in a gradient of two colors, like the "Color 1" and "Color 2" options for the standard FreeType2 text sources?

Are there plans to bring it to more distros like rpm package for fedora or flatpak? Can't You just provide .so file?

 

[norihiro]

I'm interested in rpmfusion for Fedora and CentOS, and also Flatpak. However, I don't have the milestone to achieve that. I'm sorry that I don't have enough time to make many systems.
I'm mainly developing on Fedora. The code should work if you build from the source.

I'm sorry I tried to build for Windows but I couldn't make it. It is too complicated to build necessary libraries.

Added RPM packages for Fedora 36 and 37. The package can be downloaded from the release page.

Could you share your log file of OBS Studio and/or a result of this command "ls -R ~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/obs-text-pthread.plugin", which should print how the plugin is installed?

Thank You for your quick response! I followed that path and the folder was there. Then I analyzed this current file. https://obsproject.com/logs/IK4Zh5ZP9lBJjGty

Thank you for providing the log. I realized the plugin started to fail from OBS 30.0.
The new version 2.0.5 should work. The direct links to the package are below.
obs-text-pthread-2.0.5-obs28-macos-x86_64.pkg (This should work with OBS 28, 29, 30, and hopefully 31.)
