OBS Plugins

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

• Scaffold a new plugin → Step 1
• Implement a source / output / encoder / service → Step 2
• Build the plugin → Step 3
• Install the built plugin locally → Step 4
• Install a community plugin (StreamFX, NDI, Move, etc.) → Step 5

When to use

• Writing a native C/C++ OBS plugin (custom source, filter, transition, output, encoder, or service).
• Bootstrapping a cross-platform OBS plugin repo with working GitHub Actions CI.
• Installing and configuring community plugins such as StreamFX, Advanced Scene Switcher, Move (Exeldro), NDI, Source Record, Backtrack, or obs-websocket.
• Diagnosing plugin load failures (ABI mismatch, missing OBS_DECLARE_MODULE, wrong install path, macOS quarantine).
