    OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording

  • There's an open PR[0], #5155, to get OBS running natively on Apple Silicon (which is also what your weird fork uses).

    OP's linked PR is on top of that – you'll see that there are 10 or so initial commits in the log. So #5155 (which is a giant PR) will need to be merged first before this PR from Apple can be. Here's a quote[2] from an OBS team member on that Silicon PR two days ago:

    > [This PR is] top of our priority list once we release 27.2. We're keenly aware of how badly people want a native Apple Silicon build, and I can assure you that we will definitely be publishing official test builds of OBS with M1 support as soon as we are able.

    Strangely, a lot of contributions to numpy.

  • For anyone trying to find the actual changes made, vs the build system that was modified, you can find them with this compare: https://github.com/PatTheMav/obs-studio/compare/universal-bu...

    The branch on GitHub should change its reference until the build system is merged into the main branch.

  • obs-installer-for-apple-silicon

    Discontinued Conveniently build and install OBS from source on your ultra-fast Apple M1 MacBook or Mac

  • I want to know if they’re using Rosetta on their M1 test machine or running it natively. Hopefully this patch leads to a proper darwin/arm64 release so I don’t have to use this weird fork[0] with a private GitHub Action to get a native build. The Rosetta version is considerably slower.
