This is a fork of obs-ios-camera-source that supports Linux.

To use this you use the accompanying iOS app to begin streaming in OBS.

Go to the actions section of this repository and click on the latest workflow that finished successfully. Then download the artifact that corresponds to your version. After downloading, place the zip file in your home directory and run:

unzip plugin-ubuntu-*.zip

You must have the unzip package installed for this to work: sudo apt install unzip.

These instructions are tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. For other distros/versions, YMMV.

• Make sure you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled so you will have access to FFmpeg.
• Install OBS Studio using the instructions on the OBS wiki.
• Install prerequisites: sudo apt install build-essential git cmake libavcodec-dev
• Download the OBS Studio source code somewhere:
  • cd ~/Downloads
  • git clone https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git
• Download this plugin source code:
  • git clone https://github.com/dougg3/obs-ios-camera-source.git
• Build the plugin:
  • cd obs-ios-camera-source
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake .. -DLIBOBS_INCLUDE_DIR=~/Downloads/obs-studio/cmake
  • make -j$(nproc)
• Manually install the plugin by copying relevant files into your OBS plugins directory (assuming 64-bit Linux):
  • mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/data/locale
  • mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/bin/64bit
  • cp ../data/locale/en-US.ini ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/data/locale/
  • cp obs-ios-camera-source.so ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-ios-camera-source/bin/64bit/

• wtsnz for creating an awesome plugin/app for using your iOS camera in OBS!
