Having an issue with installing "obs-stroke-glow-shadow" plugin on Linux Mint.

OBS Studio running very well on Linux Mint, everything works great out the box. However, there's no sign of a plugins folder (doesn't exist in ~/.cofig/obs-studio), so I manually created it. Downloaded "obs-stroke-glow-shadow-1.0.2-linux" version, unzipped "obs-stroke-glow-shadow-1.0.2-ubuntu-20.04.tar.gz" and placed it manually in the plugins folder.

Scrolling through OBS menus, but I see no reference to plugin location or how to install these. Any ideas on what to do now?

Hi DIY Locals,
I'm a Linux user that follows FiniteSingularity. I use Pop 22.04. Which Linux Mint are you on? And did you install OBS from the OBS website or from the Mint software section? Which version of OBS do you have? Please let me know these things and so I can better help you.

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve
I'm on Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) and it's running great on an fairly old laptop, so no issues with the OS.

Tried a few approaches: first used "snap" approach, but this had some issues (Virtual CAmera funtion was buggy, would work on and off) then realised the Obs-Studio was available via the Software Manager in Mint (although it's clearly labelled "OBS Studio for Ubuntu). Installed version is 30.1.2 (64 bit).

Thinking of reinstalling pure Ubuntu instead of Mint, if that's working better.

The linux package includes ubuntu installer files. Unfortunately, I dont have a linux machine to test installs on. I'll try to find some info for you and get back to you in this thread.

Thank you, much appreciated. Mint is great, but thinking of changing OS and using pure Ubuntu instead, if that version is working and stable.

Hi DIY,,
The Mint version you are on is based on Ubuntu 22.04. Mint is a great platform with a lot of customized tools Ubuntu doesn't have. I had done some streaming off of Mint, no issues, but I prefer Pop OS. Ubuntu is very good but all of it's software packages are going Snap and the OBS version is not official. If you don't mind, can you look in the Mint Software and see if it tells what what install it used, deb or flatpak? You can add the official PPA to Mint from OBS to keep up with the official version but Mint is pretty good keeping software up to date. That being said, when you unzip any Linux versions of plugins make sure you are grabbing the 22.04 version, since Mint is based on that Ubuntu version.

You made the comment of Mint being installed on a fairly old laptop, this can also be a reason OBS may not work 100% for you.

Drop any plugins into your plugin folder:
Home/.config/obs-studio/plugins and you should be good. Make sure obs is closed when doing this.

Good luck and have fun.
Steve

Hi Steve. Thanks for the reply.

Using "apt list --installed" gives me this for obs-studio:
obs-studio/jammy,now 30.1.2-0obsproject1~jammy amd64 [installed]
No mention of "flatpak," so I'm assuming it was installed using .deb package (?)

After unzipping "obs-stroke-glow-shadow-1.0.2-ubuntu-20.04.tar.gz", I get another folder "obs-stroke-glow-shadow" (which itself contains two other folders, "bin" and "data"). I've placed "obs-stroke-glow-shadow" folder into "home/.config/obs-studio/plugins".

Challenge now is that I don't see any menu items referring to "plugins" within OBS Studio itself. Any idea how I access or activate plugins?

EDIT:
I've restarted OBS Studio and I see that there are Glow, Shadow and Stroke items available in "Sources"! That looks promising.

Sorry to say but this version don't like to work with the latest OBS 30+

Hi Danny-

It should work (I use it daily in the latest release of OBS). I'm happy to help you troubleshoot. Can you please post a link to a log file? To do this, open OBS, then go to the `Help` menu, then `Log Files`, then `Upload Current Log File`. Paste the URL it gives you here. Alternatively, if you're not comfortable posting it here, you can feel free to DM me with the url.

Hi! I've tried to use this plugin on Mac OS Sonoma, OBS Studio version 27. I've installed the universal and the .x64 versions, restarted OBS and restarted my Mac, I still don't see these listed under filters. What am I doing wrong?

Version 27 may be your issue. Most newer plugins are for 29 and up.

Hi Todd,

Unfortunately v27 is not supported, but anything v28 or above is.

Hello, it doesn't appear to work on 30.2.0, just tried a clean install and nothing works sadly. Does it work for anyone else ?

Hi DancyCreator. Sorry to hear the plugin isn't working for you. Its working fine on 30.2.0 here (see picture below). Please feel free to post a link to a log file, and I can see if I can determine what's going wrong. Just go to the Help Menu, then Log Files, then Upload Current Log, and paste the link here. If you want to keep the link private, feel free to DM me.

Very nice plugin. I am still figuring it out. I did notice that when I installed it with the Windows Installer on Windows 11 Pro, it replaces the OBS Studio name with Stroke Glow Shadow when I hover over my Microphone on the taskbar. Here is screenshot of it. It is the only plugin that I have installed in OBS that has done this. I am using OBS 30.2.2. Is this intended behavior?

Thanks in advance. :)
