V4L2Sink has disappeared #55
Comments
Same here. I did "sudo snap revert obs-studio" for now to run the previous version (with V4L2Sink), but I do hope it will be included again in the new version. |
@stijnghesquiere — Thank you. I had the same issue, and reverting to a previous version circumvented the issue. I too hope this will be fixed soon. |
Hello, |
Same issue for me. Running the snap on Ubuntu 20.04. I had not run the app in about two weeks and noticed it was a lot different than the last time! |
I did a little more digging for curiosity and confirmed that the (compiled) plugin is not present in what I believe is the plugins directory. I've never developed a snap before so I have no idea how to fix it, but maybe this diagnostic info can point others in the right direction. The previous version of the snap had the following plugins available, including
Whereas the current snap has the the following files in the (new) plugins dir, with
The instructions in the snapcraft.yaml show it is trying to install the plugin in the obs-studio/snap/snapcraft.yaml Lines 533 to 548 in 8c27bc6
One other note: I visited the plugin's repo at github.com/CatxFish/obs-v4l2sink and it looks like it has not been maintained in a few years, plus the OBS developers look interested in using the code behind the plugin to make it part of OBS itself, see obs-v4l2sink/56. And there was an issue with someone also encountering the plugin missing from the Tools menu and they ended up having to do a manual copy, see obs-v4l2sink/54. I'm happy to provide more diagnostic info if it helps! |
I have also discovered that the plugin is missing from the tools menu. Does anyone know how to manually add it? The snap mount seems to be read only. Looks like modifying the Squashfs filesystem, or using overlayfs is not trivial? I can't revert to a previous version as I don't have any installed. Also, using the ppa version of OBS means that I have manually compile and install all the other plugins that are included in the snap version. I'm sure this is a simple fix. I'm happy to help, or do any troubleshooting. I just don't have the skill or knowledge to create a fix and pull request. |
I noticed that acording to this, it has been fixed: 9e45bcf |
Any solutions to this? Ubuntu 20.04 OBS 26.1.0 and v4l2sink vanished, rendering OBS useless to me. As far as I can tell, about 75% of the content on the internet about OBS on Ubuntu is "V4L2ASink has vanished" version 16.. 18... 19.. 20... |
@JohnDeeBDD: It's now build-in. It's at the right-bottom side of the screen under 'controls'. There is a new button: 'Start Virtual Camera'. |
Thank you. |
