Hi @jimmy-robert.

I'm sorry to hear you're having an issue with the plugin installation on a Mac. The good news is, I've got an M1 Pro Mac as well, so we should be able to figure this out. I suspect that the installer didn't install the plugin properly. Can you please let me know if the plugin is in your OBS plugins directory? To check, in the MacOS Finder:

  1. Hold down the option key, and select Library from the Go menu.
  2. This will open a finder window. Open the Application Support folder, then obi-studio, then plugins.

Do you see a file called obs-composite-blur.plugin?

Hi! Yes I can see the file obs-composite-blur.plugin in /Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins.

I tried to delete the file and reinstall the plugin, I also tried to restart my mac, but nothing changed 🫤

Just to confirm- you're seeing the plugin in the hard drive root /Library/Application Support directory? not in your user level /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins?

I suspect I know what is going on. @jimmy-robert did you select "install for all users" instead of "install for just this user" with the installer? It looks like OBS made a change where on Apple Silicon Macs, they're requiring that plugins be loaded from the user's library (at least if I'm reading this PR correctly: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7089 ). @exeldro, if I'm reading that correctly, it looks like we should disable the "install for all users" option, as it installs the plugin in /Library rather than /Users/<username>/Library which won't be loaded by OBS.

I just copied the plugin file in the /Users/Library directory and it works!

Thank you!

Glad to hear it works! I'll need to take a look at the Mac installer and fix it to keep this from happening. If you need to install an update, make sure to select the "only for this user" option as it will properly install it in your user library instead of the root library.
