Question / Help Q about missing dll files (A: user-error)

I have no problems, but just a question:

Why is the log showing several missing dll files?

The files are there in the install-dir, so why are they reported as missing?

Also I have VLC installed, yet it is reported as not installed by OBS.

And the AMF dll (which I understand from searches is related to 'AMD graphic cards')... the PC came born with Nvidia and have never had any AMD card installed.

Can anybody shed some light on these issues?
As said; I have no problems recording or streaming with OBS, but just wonder why the log isn't clean and void of errors.

Thank you.

They aren't being reported as missing, they are being reported as not containing the function "obs_module_load". Those particular DLLs aren't OBS modules, but are DLLs used by the Browser Source plugin. So they're not OBS modules, which is why it gives that message.

As for VLC, you're using 64-bit OBS, which means you will also need to have 64-bit VLC installed for the VLC source to work. The most likely explanation for this message is that you only have 32-bit VLC installed.

And the AMF DLL being unable to initialise in a system which doesn't have an AMD graphics card in it seems fairly self-explanatory.

Short version: Don't think of them as errors for you, think of them as informative messages for the developers if you needed to report a problem.
