Does not install on Ubuntu 22.04 (XFCE)

[Amperoli]

Congratulations on the fantastic work. I tested the plugin on Windows and it works perfectly. However, for application I use Ubuntu 22.04 (XFCE) on VPS at Vultr. I've tried several times to install the plugin but I can't. During installation via terminal, error messages do not appear, but the plugin does not appear in Note. Could someone check and help me resolve it? Thanks.

sorry i didn't get to this earlier. are you installing in home folder or in /usr ? OBS is very picky but different installs work in different ways, I think it has to do with what you choose when you install OBS...

Hi, I managed to install it by mimicking the install structure of the Move plugin:

1. Download a Linux release, for instance obs-urlsource-0.2.5-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.xz This has following structure:

   obs-urlsource-0.2.5-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   ├ lib/obs-plugins/obs-urlsource.so
   └ share/obs/obs-plugins/obs-urlsource/locale/en-US.ini

2. Extract this to the path /$HOME/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-urlsource/
3. Reorganize the two files to this structure:

   $HOME/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-urlsource/
   ├ bin/64bit/obs-urlsource.so
   └ data/locale/en-US.ini

@mjanschek yes so for you it works by copying to $HOME/.config/obs-studio but for others (myself included) it works by copying to e.g. /usr/lib and it's quite difficult to nail down when one way would work and the other won't... i will add this to the README though
