Are there any plans to make these plugins compliant or is this the end of the road for OBS development as far as we are concerned ?
Couple of things
First and foremost - I recommend patience
then
- the OBS Studio developers are not in control of the plugin developers. So asking the Plugin author(s) directly is likely to be more effective
-The UI change in OBS Studio, and its implication, was well-discussed in the release candidate thread. I do think the v28 update warning could have been clearer, though it certainly warned of plugin compatibility issues.
Like many other tech changes, some are more involved than others. For ex... re-coding MacOS support for native M1/M2 chips, vs previous Intel x86 CPUs... notice that took a long while for other requires open-source components, which OBS Studio depends on, to be upgraded first. In this case (upgrade of OBS Studio to using Qt6 UI), it may take a while for plugins to be updated.
I use NDI.. so I knew better than to upgrade to v28. And, as my use case is not for 'fun', I'll play it safe vs sorry. For each plugin I do use, I watch the associated thread in this forum. I'll wait until plugins updated, glitches worked out, etc. Will that be a month or two, or 6 months, or ??? I don't know. Fortunately for me, I'm also sticking with Win10 for now and prior OBS Studio release, as I don't need any of the v28 features at the moment. I look forward to upgrading, but nothing urgent pushing me to update...
