This is a browser source plugin for obs-studio (https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio) based on QtWebkit library. This plugin is for Linux and FreeBSD only.
Currently does not support interaction with the web page, but it might be added later.
Make sure you have necessary dependencies installed, which are obs-studio and qt5 and qt5-webkit
development packages. You may need to set OBS_INCLUDE and OBS_LIB env variables (see Makefile).
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS you may need to install the developer libraries to compile.
- sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev
- sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev
Run make in the obs-qtwebkit directory to build the plugin.
If your OBS version is < 0.11.2, run OBS_PLUGIN_BUILD_OLD=1 make.
Run make install to copy plugin binaries into $HOME/.config/obs-studio/plugins.
If your OBS version is < 0.11.1, run OBS_PLUGIN_INSTALL_OLD=1 make install.
Rendering web pages is done using QWebFrame, which only works in the main thread. Because of that, rendering is done in a child process. Currently, the process is restarted every time user changes source's properties, it would be nice to avoid that.
