Mac support #6

Open flashlight4 opened 7 years ago

flashlight4 commented 7 years ago

I suggest the the OBS plug-in will support the usage on the Mac. Especially to work as an input for Skype.

CatxFish commented 7 years ago

It's not a easy work to make a cross-platform project , especially driver & kernel coding. If anybody is familiar with Mac CoremediaIO , I am very welcome to help this project. Because I am still stuck in a very early step in Mac.

I wish I had the expertise to help you CatxFish. Is there any other news regarding Mac support? I'll make a donation if that would help.

OBS is such an awesome and popular program and to have it has as a virtual camera on macs would be very useful for many people.

jaccoAtQurl commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately not a Mac programmer myself. Many other programs use Syphon for creating a virtual webcam. According to documentation it seems pretty straight forward and easy to implement. MIght be worth taking a look at it.

ROBERT-MCDOWELL commented 6 years ago

if you are using a mac so it's always worth to know some mac coding...

jtibbitt commented 6 years ago

I have some programming experience (several languages, but am most comfortable with UNIX). When you say mac coding, are you talking about cocoa?

ROBERT-MCDOWELL commented 6 years ago

yes, for example. Mac and Unix became quietly the same kind of kernel since years now. Mac oxX is a derivative of Darwin which had his roots in Unix.

Apparently CamTwist has a virtual camera plugin. Is there a way to incorporate the plugin from CamTwist into OBS for Mac, mentioned in this article?

Hi,

I can develop this feature if you guys financially support me. Please also check here:

@m00dy how would we collect the money and how much do you need?

jtibbitt commented 4 years ago

Money is tight in these strange days, but I would contribute $200.

@jtibbitt they are working on it. we should place the money somewhere in a pot. so it's $10'400

jtibbitt commented 4 years ago

Someone set it up. Just verifying - if it is successfully developed into the native app, then it will work on all platforms? My interest in this is to use it in a mac.

m00dy commented 4 years ago

@jtibbitt some part of this feature has platform dependent code which means that same logic needs to be implemented for each platform(win,lin,mac).

signalwerk commented 3 years ago

@jtibbitt for your information: Virtual Camera Support for Mac just landed in the latest version of OBS. I donated my money to @johnboiles Details
