In `@CMakeLists.txt`:
- Around line 27-32: The find_library invocations (e.g., the calls that set
AVCODEC_LIB, AVUTIL_LIB, SWSCALE_LIB, SWRESAMPLE_LIB) are missing REQUIRED and
search hints so a missing library becomes <VAR>-NOTFOUND later; update each
find_library to use REQUIRED and provide sensible PATHS/HINTS (for example
system/library install prefixes or a build/install output directory used by your
presets) so CMake fails at configure time with a clear error if a library is
absent and so discovery falls back to the intended destination directory when
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH isn’t set; keep target_link_libraries(obs-moq PRIVATE
${AVCODEC_LIB} ...) unchanged since it will then receive only valid library
results.
In `@WINDOWS.md`:
- Around line 5-11: The fenced code block in WINDOWS.md opens with two backticks
instead of three and lacks a language tag, causing rendering and MD040 lint
failures; change the opening fence to ```powershell and close with ```; also
make the Chocolatey installs non-interactive and consistent by adding -y to the
visualstudio2026buildtools line and replace the rustup install with the correct
choco package (rustup.install) and -y flag so the lines to update are the fenced
block around the PowerShell commands and the choco install invocations.
- Around line 33-37: Update the code fence in WINDOWS.md that contains the
Copy-Item example to include the powershell language identifier; replace the
current triple-backtick block around the Copy-Item command with an opening
"```powershell" and a closing "```" so the code block is annotated for MD040 and
tools that rely on language highlighting.
- Around line 19-23: The fenced code blocks containing the Windows shell
commands (the block with "cd obs-studio" and the cmake invocations including -G
"Visual Studio 18 2026" -A x64 --preset windows-x64 and cmake --build --preset
windows-x64) need explicit language identifiers (e.g., powershell or bat) to
satisfy MD040; update each of those code fences to include the appropriate
language tag so the snippets are properly highlighted while leaving the existing
cmake flags and preset usage unchanged.

27-34:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major
find_librarycalls still lackREQUIRED/search hints, and the PR-promised destination-directory fallback is missing.The previously raised concerns still apply to this revision:
- None of the four
find_librarycalls useREQUIRED, so a missing component yields<VAR>-NOTFOUND. Theif(AVCODEC_LIB)guard at line 32 only papers over one of the four — ifavcodecis found but any ofavutil/swscale/swresampleis not, thoseNOTFOUNDvalues still flow intotarget_link_libraries, producing a confusing linker error rather than a clean configure-time failure. Given thatsrc/moq-source.cppcallsavcodec_find_decoder,avcodec_alloc_context3,sws_getContext,sws_scale, etc., none of these libraries are optional — silently skipping linkage is unsafe.- No
PATHS/HINTSare passed, so discovery depends entirely on the caller'sCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. The PR description says this PR adds "a method to automatically search the destination directory when CMake variables are not set", but I don't see any such fallback in the diff — please confirm whether that piece was intended to land here.🛠️ Suggested fix

I'm not sure why the bot spelt out what I just did. There is no "REQUIRED" for I'm not sure what this means it's an error "only linking to the plugin if avcodec is found" The pre-built deps are baked and already there so it will find all of them. I'll test a publish to the local relay before trying other relays inc cloudflare. |
|
Oh sorry I forgot about this PR. I'll take a look later today. |
|
I don't see an issue with my build but the plugin won't connect to either the relay in WSL or in Powershell. I was able to build a relay exe in powershell then run it directly not requiring to rebuild everytime. It consumes alot of memory and cpu when rebuilding to launch the relay. There is no way to get a rust trace log launching obs in powershell it closes stdout after launching obs. There is just the obs logger. I tried this The callback error code for the connection is -5 which might need to return a string instead from the error code ?. I see no activity in the relay of a connection. And nothing in wireshark shows up. Publishing works running the demo so the rust publisher is working. I will try and run that command separate. |
|
The web and moq-cli publish is working. To both the linux and windows relay. OBS isn't connecting for some reason and hard to debug still. I've got a mac mini to test mac. I'll test if the rust publisher works with cloudflare not just the rust relay. I wanted to test that with OBS also. |
|
The build instructions for obs-studio has changed for macos. They require to build after config in xcode and there is a code error with a trailing comma in a shader I now have to fix for them to get it built to test the plugin on mac. Will figure it out. the build instructions for mac may need to change. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/build-instructions-for-mac |
|
I have a functioning branch here with moq and some fixes for mac with the current master obs branch. https://github.com/danrossi/obs-studio/tree/moq-merged mac build of obs is The mac build of the plugin however also suffers the same as windows looking for pkgconfig which is not installed by default. It may be trying to search for system files rather the included deps. I'll try and fix for mac also if needed. |
|
Installing pkg-config on mac it's a tool check for system ffmpeg libraries. I'll make a proposal change to use the included dependencies like Windows for mac and Linux. To follow the obs-studio build ? I've converted to draft. |

Add if(EXISTS ...) guard before file(READ ...) — fatal error if the path is absent.
file(READ ...) on Line 67 will abort CMake configure with an unhelpful fatal error if ${dependencies_dir}/${_obs_destination}/libobs-metal/CMakeLists.txt does not exist (e.g., partial extraction, unexpected OBS source layout, or obs-studio dependency not yet present). Add an existence check first.

There was requirements to get the mac build working. The changes required is to use the pre built libraries provided. I'll test Linux I may need to revert back to pkg-config for Linux. mac build requires Xcode 16.3 for both obs-studio and the obs-moq plugin. The build requires to patch the obs source archive to configure correctly until a change is made to the source archive. It checks for that. I've updated the obs-studio build docs for both Windows and mac. The repo for obs-studio won't have the libobs-metal fix. Which I have in this merged branch https://github.com/danrossi/obs-studio/tree/moq-merged I can test with debug flags on mac the connection issue to the relay. 
|
|
On mac I see it connecting to these interfaces when using localhost. So the mac OBS client is working to the localhost relay for now. Not Windows, I'll see if there is a way to get a trace on Windows. I have IPv6 setup on the interface. It might need to bind to 0.0.0.0 A connection issue might need to trigger an error dialog window. |

variables obs_macos_minimum_sdk and obs_macos_minimum_xcode in

26.1 macOS minimums are stricter than upstream OBS 32.1.2 baselines
Lines 19–20 set both SDK and Xcode minimums to 26.1, which is 11.1 and 10.1 versions above upstream OBS 32.1.2 (15.0 SDK, 16.0 Xcode). These values feed hard FATAL_ERROR checks and unnecessarily restrict valid build environments. This is unrelated to the PR's primary Windows FFmpeg/CMake changes.
Align with upstream by using 15.0 for SDK and 16.0 for Xcode.

The minimum mac requirements is now Xcode / SDK 26.1 and mac OS 15.6 to reflect the obs-studio build workflow. Windows needs a post install script as the locale file needs to go into the data directory not the plugins directory. The mac build should be working now with the changes made I've tested it with a local relay but need to get it connected to an external relay. Still working on getting the Windows build connecting. The patch needed of the obs source archive is within the macOS platform check so the bot is not correct again. It needs to be done during the obs setup function. |

Thanks for doing this plugin. Yet to begin testing it. Will this work perhaps with Cloudflare Moq relay ? I have set it up on Cloudflare for testing.
I found the Windows build broken because pkg-config is resolving system libraries. It took me a few days to understand how cmake works as its really busy. This change uses the pre-built libraries already downloaded for Windows. I found a method to automatically search the destination directory as the variables dont get set for it. It needed two extra Windows libraries. The spec downloads the latest version.
I've created a windows specific build setup doc including environment tools setup. It took a while to figure that out to get obs built first. I am using VS2026 build tools so documented that setup.
There is a way to program installation into the obs fork in the windows specific cmake files but haven't figured that out yet. The location is
I have an obs fork where I've merged from the upstream branch and shows a menu for now.
