I needed to add a json file into scenes for it to start up. It's pretty generic so it should work for you but as always ymmv. file location is ~/snap/obs-studio/current/.config/obs-studio/basic/scenes/ JSON files can't be attached so rename this as Untitled.json when you put it in the folder. Untitled.txt

Thanks @likwidoxigen that's solved this issue for me. :+1: This snap has had quite a few issues hopefully it will get better soon :smile:

[likwidoxigen]

@rpodcast @flexiondotorg Sorry to bother you both but I saw that you had done some work on #71 #73 #76 which also had the "failed to glob scenes" warning and are also likely to be fixed by including the scene json I mentioned above.

@digitalight There have been some issues lately but the maintainers are including a ton of great plugins to make our lives easier so there's bound to be growing pains as they add more features for us. It's a thankless job but their work sure is appreciated for pre-configuring all these. I just with there was a better way to lock a snap version or revert when there are issues, but that's a snap problem :shrug:

@likwidoxigen it works!!! Wow, this just saved me a ton of debugging time as I was about to try rebuilding the snap on my local setup and eliminate plugins one-by-one.

Thank You!!!

Edit: Launched Right Away after adding Untitled.json
