Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi again Tenoch,

The Puppy Package Manager for fossa 64 has Qt5 version 5.12.8, not anything newer. I'm not sure where you got OBS from. If it was built by someone on the forums, it might be built against a version of Linux that is not fossa 64. Their OS might have Qt5 at 5.15. There are some ways you can download and install 5.15, and possibly other libraries, into fossa 64, but that can be a headache (as pointed out by norgo and mikeslr). The better solution is to get OBS that was built for fossa 64. That way all of OBS' dependencies, such as Qt5 5.12 will be set up correctly.

Hello community!

I have a question, did anyone try to use OBS Studio as a virtual webcam? It is written about such a possibility here:
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/ ... alcam.539/

And here:
https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-v4l2sink

I would really like to implement this in Puppy. What are you thinking about it?

This particular version is actually v25.07; not 'new', but up-to-date enough for most Puppians to do with what they want.
If you're interested in trying it out, you can find it at my MEGA.nz a/c, here:-

Works well in Fatdog (at least for recording purposes, I haven't tested the streaming function).
Thank you for preserving the old version. The new version doesn't work for me in Fatdog, it requires glibc 2.31. Ours is still at 2.27.

Glad to hear it works for you. Enjoy.

Hey!

I am playing with Easy Os on my new laptop. When using OBS-portable from @mikewalsh on another laptop with GeForse video, everything worked fine. On a new laptop video Intell Graphic. And unfortunately OBS throws an error:

Failed ti initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may nedd to be updated

Please help fix the error.

Edit: Hmm, I noticed the same error in Fossa Pup

The latest EasyOS, 3.1.17, has OBS Studio builtin, see blog announcement:

https://bkhome.org/news/202112/easyos-3 ... eased.html

I compiled version 26.1.2, as 27.x requires the wayland libraries. Started it up, seems to work ok, but haven't actually tried to do anything with it.

Note, 3.1.17 also has LiVES video editor.

Dmitry,
Interested to know if you still get the gpu error. I compiled OBS, so it is going to be highly compatible with EasyOS.

@mikewalsh Wanted to thank you for this. I ordered a new webcam a while ago wanting to do some Pod-Com casting.
This runs perfectly in my fossa64. I played with a green bag today and made myself disappear. I will have to do a bit more research into setting up the scenes, but overall it is pretty intuitive with a great right click menu.

BTW, if anyone is looking for a green screen cheap, I found a big one on evilbay for 5 bucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324371076030 unless links aren't allowed.

@peppyy :-

If it works for you, does what you want, and you're happy with it.....that's great. All I can say is.....

.....enjoy!

(OBS is pretty fussy about Qt versions, AND a ton of other stuff, too. As norgo says, you are likely to get better results with a build specifically set to work with a particular Qt, glibc, libstdc++, etc, etc. I suspect this build came out of a version of Debian with very similar requirements; although I've not spoken to its packager, probono, he did publish in a blog comment somewhere the particulars of his system. It was so close to Fossapup as to make no difference, so.....I guess that's why it's hassle-free in operation.)

Mike.
