Installing #obsstudio from #Flathub will consume ~500MB more space compared to the native package (a bit older version but that won't make any significant difference) 🙃
While concept of each app be using it's own copy of dependencies might be justified in some situations, for general usage accumulation of many duplicated packages is just a waste of precious disk capacity.
That's why I avoid #flatpak and #snap software at all cost.

#FreeBSD #OBS #OBS-Studio #obsstudio #VirtualCamera

Long story short... I was able to get the obs studio virtual camera working with FreeBSD.

The long story is that after trying OBS-Studio on FreeBSD, I immediately notice the virtual camera was not available. I did some research, and the issue was solved in the past but for whatever reason patch that enabled the virtual camera was removed from the port tree. I file a bug in FreeBSD bugzilla, and also email the maintainer of the port with the bug information.

To my surprise the maintainer responded my email and patch OBS-Studio. Now virtual camera is available for everyone using FreeBSD. 🙂

This is how you make it work.

1.Using your terminal navigate to obs-studio port directory.
2. run "make config" and uncheck the browser option and hit enter.
3. run "make install clean"
4. run "webcamd -c v4l2loopback"
5.start obs-studio (The virtual cam button should be present now)
6. Start virtual camera.

OBS project threatens Fedora with legal action because the 3rd-party OBS Studio package in the Fedora Flatpak repo is broken, poorly maintained, users report issues to OBS instead of Fedora project because they think it's the official package, the Fedora project refused to do anything about it:
news.itsfoss.com/obs-studio-fe
(This whole software distribution thing is pretty broken on Linux in general, it isn't just an issue the OBS Flatpak on Fedora. There should be some indication for the users if a package isn't maintained by the original devs, e.g. including "unofficial" in the package name. Flathub's approach to verify package maintainers is also pretty good approach. Of course this would be hard to implement in the whole Linux platform because of its fragmented nature but would be nice towards the devs of programs if they wouldn't need to deal with packaging issues they can do nothing about.)
