I don't see the "Python Settings" tab in OBS Studio 28.1.2 (64 bit) on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon #84

I read...

Make sure that you configure the correct version of Python within OBS in the "Scripts" window > "Python Settings" tab

... but I don't see "Python Settings" tab

What should I do?

In case it matters, I copied and pasted the following from the "Script Log."...

File "/home/y/zoom_and_follow_mouse.py", line 8
[zoom_and_follow_mouse.py]     <!DOCTYPE html>
[zoom_and_follow_mouse.py]     ^
[zoom_and_follow_mouse.py] SyntaxError: invalid syntax

and I confirmed that PyWinCtl is installed...

Had this same problem - the download is providing an XML metadata instead of the python script. Try viewing it raw and pasting its contents into a .py file.

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate that. I found a similar solution in ffmpeg...

ffmpeg -f x11grab -follow_mouse centered -framerate 25 -video_size cif -i :0.0 -preset slow output.mkv

I'd like to find a way to have OBS and/or ffmpeg follow the caret (the "text cursor") just as they can follow the mouse. Do you know of a way to do that?

If this is still an issue, please reproduce and resubmit with current working versions of python, OBS, script and dependencies.
