Actual behavior

Expected behavior

Inside 'す' is filled by the outline color.

Workaround

Using larger outline blur will make it difficult to be noticed.

Since Ubuntu update to 22.04, the default plugin folders of OBS Studio 27 has been changed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins instead of /usr/lib/obs-plugins. And OBS Studio won't load /usr/lib/obs-plugins any more. It cause OBS 27 couldn't load obs-text-pthread unless I created a symbol link to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins for it.

So please consider to fix obs-text-pthread-2.0.2-obs27-ubuntu-20.04-x86_64.deb since Ubuntu haven't released OBS Studio 28 informally.

The current Apple Silicon build of obs-text-pthread fails to load, because some of the library paths in the dependent libraries have not been relativized to @loader_path and instead point to somewhere in @@HOMEBREW_CELLAR@@.

Here are the problematic links from the output of otool -L on the libraries:

Edited to add: Also, note that libgmodule and libpangoft2 are not actually included in the lib directory of the prebuilt plugin.

Currently blur outline is rendered by linearly decreasing opacity by the distance from the font and box blur.
The new idea is using gaussian kernel to decrease the opacity.

Currently, PNG files are named by os_gettime_ns, which is calculated since the system boot time.
This is not useful because the same name could be applied after rebooting the system.
Instead, it should be named as same as the OBS's video files.

Probably, I missed to upload the packages for macOS ARM (Apple Silicon).

Using my local file, I found nothing is displayed on M1 macbook air.

Hello! Is there instructions on how to compile the project?

I'm on Nobara 37 and wanted to use this plugin on OBS. Unfortunately, it crashed immediately after I moved plugin files to its plugin folder. Maybe I'm missing some dependencies, or I outright can't use it as it explicitly said it is for MacOS and Ubuntu, so adding a building guide will help many Linux users other than Ubuntu to use this plugin a bit easier.

The .deb package is uninstallable as it lists libpango1.0 as a Depends but the correct package name is libpango1.0-0

This is an idea to keep scrolling infinite text.

• Set a limit of lines, returns number of characters processed until reaching the limit.
• Or, limit/fix text height and scroll until it reaches the bottom.
• Add an option to lock update callback until rendering is done, and not render text until there is a pending text to scroll-in.
• Bugfix that a scrolling text suddenly vanishes if a new text is empty.

Settings

• outline enabled, red color
• shadow enabled, green color

Expected behavior

The shadow becomes green.

Actual behavior

The shadow becomes red and green; outside is red and inside is green.

I have installed the macos-arm64 plugin using both the pkg and the zip but I get this error and the plugin doesn't actually load on OBS

It looks like it's not properly loading libraries so I tried compiling it myself following the instructions on the wiki but I can't figure out how to get the .plugin bundle OBS 28 now requires

• Underlines and strike through (from the existing font dialog)
• Ligatures
• Weight

Expected behaviour

Add Text Pthread source, enter some text and text is rendered.

Actual behaviour

Add Text Pthread source, enter some text and text not text is rendered.

I see a line in the OBS log that says:

13:01:28.735: [obs-text-pthread] Cannot load '(null)'
13:01:28.803: User added source 'Text Pthread' (obs_text_pthread_source_v2) to scene 'Wimdow Cap'

Configuration

• Ubuntu 22.04
• OBS Studio 28.0.1
• Text Pthread 2.0.1
