obs-ios-camera-source Linux branch

This is a fork of obs-ios-camera-source that supports Linux.

To use this you use the accompanying iOS app to begin streaming in OBS.

Downloads

Linux binaries are not provided; instead, compilation and manual installation instructions for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 are supplied below.

Building

These instructions are tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. For other distros/versions, YMMV.

• Make sure you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled so you will have access to FFmpeg.
• Install OBS Studio using the instructions on the OBS wiki.
• Install prerequisites: sudo apt install build-essential git cmake libavcodec-dev
• Download the OBS Studio source code somewhere:
  • cd ~/Downloads
  • git clone https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git
• Download this plugin source code:
  • git clone https://github.com/dougg3/obs-ios-camera-source.git
• Build the plugin:
  • cd obs-ios-camera-source
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake .. -DLIBOBS_INCLUDE_DIR=~/Downloads/obs-studio/cmake
  • make -j$(nproc)
• Manually install the plugin by copying relevant files into your OBS plugins directory (assuming 64-bit Linux):
  • mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/data/locale
  • mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/bin/64bit
  • cp ../data/locale/en-US.ini ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/data/locale/
  • cp obs-ios-camera-source.so ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/bin/64bit/
