FFmpeg is another case of a patched dependency.
Obs studio linux browser source Patch#
For example, OBS Studio needs to patch CEF internally for it to be used as the browser source, and browser docks, and this makes it pretty difficult to package it using traditional packages, since it could conflict with the upstream CEF package. In addition to enabling services integration, Flatpak makes it much easier for OBS Studio to package its complicated dependencies. It couldn’t possibly be easier than that. In many cases, these distros come with Flatpak and even Flathub by default, and OBS Studio can be installed with a simple search in their app centers. People on Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, Endless OS, Debian, elementary OS, and dozens of other distros can use a complete, featureful, and supported build of OBS Studio. ¹Īnother benefit is that the OBS Studio community can effectively enable and support a lot more Linux users to use it the way the community envisioned. This build is then published on Flathub directly.
OBS Studio builds its Flatpak package on its own CI, and enables this feature using private keys that aren’t otherwise available to distribution packages. The first and most obvious one is services integration. It brings features only enabled in official builds. Official Buildīecoming an official build is not only a badge, or a community recommendation, in OBS Studio’s case.
For other Linux distributions, especially the ones not based on Debian, the Flathub package is probably the easiest one to install, and certainly the most complete. On Ubuntu, both can be installed and used without any major annoyance, since Flatpak can easily be installed there – though it would be great if Flatpak was distributed by default on Ubuntu, but oh well, such is life. With this release, besides the always good to have bugfixes and improvements, there’s one change in particular that makes me super excited: this is the first release officially published to Flathub!įlathub joins OBS Studio’s Ubuntu PPA in the list of official builds. Today, OBS Studio published its 27.2 release.
