OBS Plugin Error

What’s your system?

i have a macbook pro

m1 pro

So is OBS installed in the newest version available?

yes

can you send me the last log files? Cause for me its working perfectly here on my MacBook Pro M5 with OBS 31.1.2. Installed Plugin version 0.1.10

wait hold on

since when did i have the rosetta version of obs

that might be the problem hold on 😭

nvm it did not work

ok ok

i got it to work

what was the issue?

for some reason i didn't have libwebsockets installed

so i just reinstalled it

ah okay i see- funny i also can not install it on my MacBook M1 - so then i have to fix this within the installer 😉

brew install libwebsockets

that might work to fix it

idk but this was just my issue

ty for helping

thx for reporting!

so fix is online on Github 😉

awesome !

hey, same problem on windows, i tried installer or zip, still not working

really also the missing websocket dll? Maybe you can send me the log file?

yep

Hey! Thanks a lot for the log that helped a lot. 🙏 Good news: I could rule out the usual suspects. Your OBS version (32.1.2) is fine, and all the plugin's files are present on disk, so nothing is missing or corrupted. The plugin file is found, Windows just refuses to load it. That leaves two likely causes, and I'd love your help narrowing it down: 1) ESET might be blocking it. Our plugin isn't code-signed yet, and ESET can block unsigned DLLs from loading (without necessarily quarantining them). Could you try this? Right-click the ESET icon in your system tray → Pause protection Fully close OBS and start it again Does the plugin load now? If you want to double-check, you can also open ESET → Tools → Log files, switch the dropdown to Detections and to HIPS, and look for anything mentioning obs-hyperate, websockets, libssl or libcrypto. 2) A DLL name conflict with another plugin. You have quite a few OBS plugins installed. Our plugin currently ships helper files with very generic names (z.dll, uv.dll, libssl-3-x64.dll). Windows only loads one file per name per process, so if another plugin loads its own version first, ours breaks. Either way, I'm already building a fix: the next version will be a single self-contained file with no helper DLLs at all, which removes both problems. I'll send you a test build to try. 🙂 No rush, but if you get a chance to try the ESET test, that would tell us exactly which one it was!

During the installation, ESET checked the file and everything was OK. Unfortunately, it didn't help even when I turned off ESET. So would it help if I uninstall other plugins and install HypeRate first? Or should I wait for the update? 🙂

ahhh then just wait for the update - will ping you in a few minutes 😉

Hey! I've got a test build ready for you i'm fairly confident this fixes it. 🤞 What changed: Previously the plugin shipped a bunch of helper files with very generic names (websockets.dll, uv.dll, z.dll, …). Windows only loads one file per name per process, so with your many OBS plugins another one could win that race and ours would fail to load. The new build packs everything into a single self-contained file — no helper DLLs at all. **How to install (2 minutes, no installer needed):** Close OBS completely. Unzip the attached file. You'll see an obs-plugins and a data folder. Copy obs-plugins\64bit\obs-hyperate.dll into: C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\ (overwrite the existing one — Windows will ask for admin permission) Copy the data folder's contents into C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\ as well (overwrite). Start OBS. ⚠️ Please don't delete anything else from that folder — OBS keeps its own plugins in there too. Does the plugin load now? If yes we're done. If not, could you still try the ESET test (right-click ESET in the tray → Pause protection → restart OBS)? That would tell us it's the antivirus rather than the file conflict. Thanks a lot for helping debug this! 🙏

Thanks, you're awesome. 🔥 It works perfectly. I didn't need to turn off ESET, just checked the file and it was ok. Thanks for your help 🙏

yihaaa, thx for reporting 😉
