Installation on M1 Mac

Open fabltd opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I have tried to install this on a M1 Mac running the preview M1 native OBS build.

The install goes to plan but the files don't appear in the plugins.

Any idea where there might be?

I therefore cannot test if it works with M1 OBS.

Unfortunately you cannot mix a native M1 installation of OBS (ARM) with a plugin compiled for x86.

I myself do not have access to an ARM based build environment for MAC so I cannot compile the plugin this way. So unless you find someone who can compile the plugin for you you cannot use the available versions when running a native ARM version of OBS.

I know that in the past there used to be a rather active thread related to running ARM builds of OBS on MacOS where some user(s) also provided natively compiled version of the plugin. The last version I could find however is quite old already, but maybe it will suffice for your use case: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-on-apple-silicon.133606/page-10#post-556210

I am happy to report that first builds of the plugins for _OBS 28_ are available that should (in theory) work on M1 Macs.

A build can be found here in a few minutes: https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/actions/runs/2854441661

You can either use the SceneSwitcher-macos-arm64-* or the SceneSwitcher-macos-universal-* artifact.

I would appreciate if you could give this a try and report back if you encounter any issues.

I'm happy to report that it worked flawlessly. I was offered a backup of the old settings, and all my macros were ready when using it.

Excellent job.
