How to install composite blur on ubuntu 22.04?

[hdnminh]

I have no idea to install it. Please help me. Thanks in advance

Hi @hdnminh. Unfortunately, I've not got a Linux/Ubuntu machine to try the installation on, and have never installed. There are a couple of Linux users who have gotten it working properly and tested it for me. I've asked one of them to provide some instructions here (and in the Readme). They'll be posting some instructions for you a little later today.

Hi, @hdnminh! It looks like you're using Ubuntu?

• Extract the entire obs-composite-blur folder
• Navigate to your ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins folder
• Copy/Move obs-composite-blur to the plugins folder

The folder path should now look like ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-composite-blur

Thank you @SketchNI! I'll leave this open for a bit until I get the docs PR you opened merged in.

@hdnminh - I've merged in the docs provided by @SketchNI into the Readme.me file. If you are still having issues installing after reading, feel free to reopen this issue.

Hi @FiniteSingularity, @SketchNI, My host (ubuntu 22.04) does not have /plugins folder. So I try to put obs-composite-folder into subfolder below, but it's still not working.

[FiniteSingularity]

plugin_config will hold the configuration files for the plugins that ops generates, but not the actual plugins. Try making a new plugins directory inside of .config/obs-studio and place the ops-composite-blur directory in that new plugins directory.

So it should look like: Home/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-composite-blur

Hi @FiniteSingularity

It's still not working, even if I restart my laptop :((

[FiniteSingularity]

@hdnminh it looks like OBS isn't loading plugins from the typical place. Can you please run OBS and post the log file? Maybe we can determine the location it is loading plugins from.

[hdnminh]

Hi @FiniteSingularity, here is the log file. 2023-09-18 08-41-08.txt

[FiniteSingularity]

Unfortunately, the log file isn't indicating where plugins are loading from. And the guidance in the OBS documentation, and where other people have successfully had the plugin run, is in ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins as is indicated here: https://obsproject.com/kb/plugins-guide (see the Install or Remove plugins section at the bottom). I'm not sure I can help any more, as I personally don't have OBS running in a linux environment. I'll re-open this issue, and see if anyone else with more Linux experience has any ideas.

@hdnminh quick question- were the plugin files installed when you ran OBS and grabbed that log file?

[hdnminh]

It's suddenly working now. Thanks @FiniteSingularity so much.

Glad to hear it is working for you. Enjoy the plugin!
