tl;dr: Is there a way to location share from the OBS browser source? if so, how?
I use OBS to local record Paramount+ like a DVR. For most of the live channels on Paramount like my local CBS station or the various news channels, this seems to work fine. But there are specific pages that result in error codes when interacting in the browser source. For example (this link requires Paramount+ subscription to view), the live feeds for Big Brother work fine in a regular browser, but in OBS I get a 3304 error on the P+ website and the video fails to render. https://www.paramountplus.com/live-tv/stream/big_brother/524e313f-9fb2-484a-bb7a-e83b9d51d2f0/
The log file shows this message when navigating to one of the problem channels in Paramount+ from within the interactive screen:
14:24:46.754: [obs-browser: 'My Scene'] Error: Uncaught TypeError: n.shift is not a function (https://assets.kochava.com/kochava.js/v2.2/kochava.min.js?c=0.5890037860180111:1)
But it seems to show that log message sometimes even when I navigate to a different channel that renders properly. I've also tried enabling/disabling hardware acceleration and I can view other channels just fine in either case.
Any idea what's going on here? Is it possible that something on Paramount's side prevents the video from playing in OBS? I am able to view it just fine in a regular browser. I suspect it might have to do with location sharing but I'm not certain. When the page loads, it attempts to determine the location, but I'm not sure if OBS has a way to share that information or not.
