Question / Help VLC Video Source not always available?

[e7d]

Hey,

I'm streaming in a dual setup PC, having OBS on each one :
- OBS on my gaming PC helps me setup my scenes
- OBS on my streaming PC does the encoding job

I noticed something I did not found any explanation for. When I right click on the "Sources" sections, under "Add", I have "VLC Video Source" available only on my gaming PC. For information, both are running OBS 0.16.6, and I already tried to reinstall from scratch.

Is there any condition for this valuable option to appear?

You need to have VLC installed.

VLC is installed on the streaming PC, but in x64 version, I suppose I'll need x86 one?

If you run OBS 32 bits, VLC needs to be 32 bits too.
Same for 64 bits

Nice, it worked. :)
