#OBS STUDIO LINUX BROWSER SOURCE INSTALL#
Install libgconf-2-4 using apt, and restart OBS. There is not currently a Linux build of this browser plugin, but in the meantime bazukas has built obs-qtwebkit, another browser source based on qtwebkit. I found rebooting the system necessary after applying this fix, but others have reported it is not. The Browser source for OBS Studio webpage says. This disables the 10-bit colour space for OBS specifically, meaning that the rest of your system can still benefit from the higher fidelity while OBS does’t choke on itself. In the block of /etc/drirc add the following code: Helpfully, though, the Mesa devs included a functionality to disable this. The problem is, OBS is currently in the denial stage and essentially washing their hands of mesa, blaming the problem on the mesa developers. Now, I know nothing about graphics drivers, but I would assume the 10-bit is better than the 8 bits expected by OBS. Sometime early in the year, a design change was made to cause Mesa to output 10-bit colour information. The source of the trouble ca be lead to a design change decision in Mesa, the open-source AMD graphics driver. So, many times on AMD systems, XComposite captures break in the same way. Also, sources using the Linux Browser Source plugin no longer render at all.Īs you might expect these are two independant problems. Packaged OBS (+ Browser Source) for Fedora, now on GitHub Software & Operating Systems Linux fedora, obs mihawk90 April 22, 2021, 3:20am 1 Hey there, it’s me Motivation While OBS is in RPM Fusion free, it does not ship with the Browser Source (and a couple other plugins), which for me as a streamer is a real turn-off. Using OBS Studio, Window Capture (xcomposite) Sources return corrupted video data to OBS and all points downstream.

Some of you probably even use Ubuntu, and if, like me, they just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04, there’s a distinct possibility they broke some of their capture system! Symptoms While they’re few and far between, I know at least a few other streamers who use OBS Studio with linux in order to livestream or screen-capture whatever it is they are trying to record.
