Flatpak OBS + non-Flatpak Steam game #145

Closed anat0lius closed 1 year ago

anat0lius commented 1 year ago

For the case of having OBS installed as Flatpak and Steam as non-Flatpak (rpm), what I understand from the README is that the following applies:

If you use Flatpak OBS, you need to install Flatpak OBS plugin.

and

For capturing games outside Flatpak runtime, you need native build regardless of if you are using Flatpak OBS or not.

  1. I have installed the plugin as Flatpak and I managed to build[^1] the project.
  2. I have set the following launch parameters in my steam game:
/home/ender/apps/obs-vkcapture/build/obs-gamecapture %command%
  1. I have opened OBS and added Game Capture source
  2. I started the game
  3. Alt-tabed to OBS and started recording

The video recorded is just black.

[^1]: For the libobs dependency, I have installed obs-studio-devel from my package manager (non-Flatpak).

The build instructions mention make install which you haven't done.

Also you can just do

cmake -DBUILD_PLUGIN=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

if you use Flatpak OBS.
