Browser source in OBS

paulomatheus · 12-07-2022, 08:34 AM

Hello. I've installed OBS via Alien Bob's packages. And I notice that OBS do not have the Browser Source. So, I googled and found in obs-studio.SlackBuild change log that Alien disabled "the obs-browser since that requires CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework)". So, my question is: Is that a way to enable it? Or this is something that it's not possible?
Thanks.

Briefly looking at the SlackBuild script on SBo it looks like CEF is included:

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...ia/obs-studio/

Have you tried that one? Obviously it's going to be more work because you have to compile it yourself (and all its dependencies).

(Review https://slackbuilds.org/howto/ if you're not familiar using slackbuilds.org.)

Here is the full dependency tree for obs-studio (with a few optional packages added in). It's been quite a while since I actually used obs-studio, but I still keep it up to date in case I need to use it again

Code:

This output is from slackrepo, which helps with automating the build process.

I tried to install OBS previously via SBo and occurred a error, I think it's because of the fact that I use Slackware -current and SBo it's for Slackware 15

So I tried via Alien Bob's packages and it's worked. But, now I notice about that detail of the Browser Source.

I didn't even realise OBS had started supporting the browser source on Linux.

I've been using the Linux Browser plugin, which I see is now considered legacy. Still works for me on 28.1.2, though, so could work as an alternatie if you can't get the official one to work.

Alternatively, if you can install flatpak from Slackbuilds (I didn't encounter any errors there, also on -current), you could try the official OBS flatpak. It looks like that comes with the browser source enabled.

Had to disable the browser support when I compiled it with the SlackBuild a month ago. The browser build always fails at arbitrary points regardless of the version of CEF I feed it.

There's also a patch Alien Bob needed to make it compile with some things turned off, like the web browser. (Check out his slackbuild.)

Speaking of OBS is push-to-talk when mapped to a side mouse button working for anyone else? It's not for me, and it should've been fixed.
