BarRaider plugin updater issues
BarRaider has begun introducing an updater mechanism into his plugins. This has broken the OBS plugin for unknown reasons in 3.3 and above, and is causing issues in the Spotify plugin due to his code trying to validate that the parent process is ESD, when there actually is no parent process in Wine.
I'm opening this thread to track this issue

@Dem I think we really need to start making Linux builds of these now
As for Spotify, if I ever get time I'll see if I can fool it
but most are closed source aren't they, its a very grey area to distribute linux builds of those
I think only Spotify out of the relevant ones is closed?
At least for OBS, it’s the most used one
is the OBS plugin open source?
Yes
apparently there's also a Elgato OBS Studio plugin 🤔
for both Windows and Mac, then it must be JS based probably - does it work under OpenDeck?
Looked quickly at the barraider obs plugin source, looks portable enough but I gotta be honest I have no time in the next at least 2 months
https://github.com/elgatosf/streamdeck-obs-plugin it’s open source too
I meant this
https://github.com/elgatosf/streamdeck-obs-plugin2
GitHub
GitHub - elgatosf/streamdeck-obs-plugin2: Stream Deck - OBS Studio ...
Stream Deck - OBS Studio plugin 2.0. Contribute to elgatosf/streamdeck-obs-plugin2 development by creating an account on GitHub.
Looks like some placeholder README, they have Linux instructions lol
But it’s not JS
Actually, I think that’s the OBS side though, not the Stream Deck side
So maybe not open enough after all
Which one were you working on before?
Ah spotify
yea I think thats the plugin needed on OBS side
@Dem he took them all down
I'll make the MPRIS plugin, that should solve the Spotify problem
but it's a shame
In what way?
the source
damn... I really don't get that type of behaviour, its fine to not support it but being hostile is a different thing, reminds me of like Microsoft in the early 2000s
yea
his "justification" is that opendeck users ask him for support that he doesnt want to provide
but come on, he could just send them the link to this server and tell them to go away
and thats only happened like twice
we just see it differently I guess
Just add a rule that's "no open deck questions" and respond with that, or just ignore them
yeah exactly
