I am unable to install OBS Multi Platform on Fedora 22. It doesn't seem to matter what guide I follow. I also tried installing DirectX with wine and then installing the normal release, but that didn't work either. If there is any more information that is needed, just post in the comments and I will get back to you ASAP. Also, there is not log file that I could give. I would if I could.

Thanks for any help that you can give.

I don't know what the original poster is seeing in Fedora, but just installing in Ubuntu 14.04 is failing for me. Here's what I get:

$ sudo apt-get install obs-studio

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
obs-studio : Depends: libavcodec-ffmpeg56 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libavdevice-ffmpeg56 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libavfilter-ffmpeg5 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libavformat-ffmpeg56 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libavutil-ffmpeg54 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libswresample-ffmpeg1 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libswscale-ffmpeg3 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

It should be noted, however, that I do have ffmpeg, but I do NOT have the repo that was recommended in the instructions. I have 2.6.2 installed directly from the ffmpeg site following their instructions (therefore, able to keep up to date with the latest, and not some horribly outdated repo from god knows where). That's the only thing I can think of that might be causing this issue. I'll likely try adding the suggested repo from the install instructions then re-installing obs-studio to see if that meets the necessary dependencies then, as I have time.

Anyone have any other suggestions, thoughts, ideas, etc.?

FYI, adding the specific ffmpeg repo that was suggested solved the problem. Since I'm unsure how up to date that repo is kept, and I want to be able to use the latest stable ffmpeg, I checked my versions and insured it hadn't changed ffmpeg. I'll be watching that closely for a bit, but I suspect since my version was previously installed, but I don't believe it'll be a problem since my preferred repo likely has a newer version of ffmpeg than anyone else (being that I'm using ffmpegs own repo for it).

Anyhow, that might be helpful to others. Maybe even the original poster.

The ffmpeg-next repo contains a backport of ffmpeg from Ubuntu 15.04. Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 official repos do not contain ffmpeg, just libav.
