OBS and Armbian

el_sattchmo · March 31, 2023, 12:06am

How I got OBS “working”, maybe it will save you googling errors for hours like I did.

Using image in screenshot
go here and install all the packages https://forum.radxa.com/t/introduction-to-rockchip-multimedia-ppa-for-ubuntu-jammy/
sudo apt-get install xcb
then run this in the same terminal
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=“xcb”
PAN_MESA_DEBUG=gl3 obs

and it should open.

I used this device for screen capture, thats as far as I have got.

Am trying to stream the Rock5 over the local network but run into this, baby steps I guess…

I use pipewire screen capture.

But that sucks for video recording I think. Isn’t it the default option given by ubuntu like print screen with video?

Big mistake here!!

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM="xcb"
PAN_MESA_DEBUG=gl3 obs

Edit: For pipewire screen recording.

#--OBS--
sudo apt install xcb obs-studio obs-gstreamer obs-plugins xdg-desktop-portal pipewire qtwayland5
#RESTART here and then run OBS with:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM="xcb"
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 obs

Otherwise it wont work! And @el_sattchmo ! Many thanks bro!

Pipewire works well on Wayland. I’m always using it to record videos or streaming.

I dont… use OBS Vitalicus… you are on your own maybe ask on radxa discord theres always more experts there.

I tried building obs with prebuilt cef binary provided by obsproject: https://cdn-fastly.obsproject.com/downloads/cef_binary_5060_linux_aarch64.tar.xz, but the browser plugin just crashed when loaded.

In what folder is build binary?
Have you tested this version? https://github.com/bazukas/obs-linuxbrowser

amazingfate · May 10, 2023, 10:52am

This is a out-of-date repo, I won’t test it.

You want to run obs with xcb, so you have to install qt xcb plugin:
sudo apt install qt6-qpa-plugins
If you are in a wayland session, sudo apt install qt6-wayland
If you are in a desktop environment session, you don’t need to set QT_QPA_PLATFORM, qt will auto detect the qpa platform. You only need to do this when qt can’t auto detect it, for example you are in a ssh shell.
