Installed But Not Showing about obs-backgroundremoval

[KeysiJones]

I found a solution for linux (Works on Ubuntu 20.04)...

Step 1: Uninstall OBS by running sudo apt remove obs-studio
Step 2: Add OBS official repository by running sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio (Yeah, i was installing OBS without adding the official repo and it was not working.... so add the official repository)
Step 3: Update packages running sudo apt update
Step 4: Install OBS studio by running sudo apt install obs-studio
Step 5: Clone the repository in the folder you want it to be cloned and build the plugin by running bellow commands

git clone https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval.git
cd obs-backgroundremoval
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build . && cmake --install .

Step 6: move plugin files to obs plugins folder running the commands below...

sudo mv /usr/local/lib/obs-plugins/obs-backgroundremoval.so /usr/lib/obs-plugins/
sudo mv /usr/local/share/obs/obs-plugins/obs-backgroundremoval /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/

It worked for me... hope it helps you guys too.

Let's help each other !!

FOUND THE SOLUTION!!! I was having the same issue, installed but couldnt see it. I updated my OBS and the background removal tool showed up where it was supposed to. To update OBS, navigate (within OBS) to "help" -> "check for updates".

i guess it never gonna fix....cause the developer dont care about it.....its just few computer that not able to used it....just uninstall and find another way....forget this suck plugin....

Hi @rygvko . Thank you for your comment! I'm working in 3 jobs and I've very very little time, but I do my best (!) to give you all a completely free plugin and open source. I work at night and on the weekends, because I think it's a good thing for the OBS users to have for free.
If you're not satisfied with the plugin - help us improve it! check out the code and fix some problems..
Thanks again

[rygvko]

@kontroll Yes you can add Audio/Video Filters. Open you Phone cam using media not browser source. Then you can Uncheck the Local file, then in the input enter the link for accessing your phone camera...

[rygvko]

Please try https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval/releases/tag/v0.4.0 @rygvko @DrewskiesAU @chukwumaokere @kontroll @Localzen @hvisage

Still not showing up...same as @DrewskiesAU....running on 27.1.3 (64bit)
Just like there is no plug in installed....

[Inventatorul1]

Same problem

[adminjw]

I found a fix for windows: after you extract de zip manually place the files in obs directories. obs-backgroundremoval-0.4.0-win64\data\obs-plugins ----> C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins obs-backgroundremoval-0.4.0-win64\obs-plugins\64bit ----> C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit

Thats not a solution....its the same as standart procedure for installing pluggin for OBS....and defenetely NOT WORKING....

Well, actually - it was the solution for me. For what ever reason when I copy-paste the files directly from the zip to the obs-studio folder, the UI makes me believe that the files have been copied (admin prompt, progress bar, etc..). Afterwards I run into the mentioned issue.

Thanks to @Inventatorul1 I checked for the individual files in the sub-folders and to my surprise, there was nothing to be found. So as recommended, I first extracted the files and only than copied them over. This time the files are in the right location and voilà - the plugin works now.

[geneangela]

I am also having the same issue.

[DrewskiesAU]

Is there any updates on this by any chance?

[rygvko]

Yes i have the same issue....pls fix this...

[ryanpeiris]

Hi, Guys,

Make sure you are checking the this under 'Audio/video Filters' not in 'Effect Filters'. I made that mistake.

[xelantro]

Well for me it's just not there :/ and as seen in the screenshot it seems like he's also in the Audio-/Videofilters list.
On Windows, extracted the arcive, copied it all over (everything seems to be there - like obs-backgroundremoval.dll in \obs-plugins\64bit\ and so on)

(Yes my OBS is 64bit, sry for german in the screenshot)

[DrewskiesAU]

Hi Ryan,
As per my screenshot on original message, I can confirm I am looking under Audio/video filters

[rygvko]

Is Roy the developer is not say something about this???? helow Roy.....

If you are on macOS and having this problem, you are probably on a Case Sensitive filesystem and the .so file got put in Plugins instead of PlugIns directory and you'll notice the 2x directories in a ls -l output like this:

Solution, mv/copy the obs-backgroundremoval.so to the PlugIns directory and it will pop up :)

If Windows???

[DrewskiesAU]

I am on windows

[rygvko]

what kind of windows do you have? @DrewskiesAU

[hvisage]

If Windows???

I'd say follow the same logic to check... it'll definitely be a similar problem on Linux.

I don't do M$-Windows - too much issues for me professionally, so can't comment on Windows

[DrewskiesAU]

Hi @rygvko i am running windows 10

[rygvko]

@Localzen Nope it doesnt works......my obs is 27.1.1 64bit still not showing up....

[Localzen]

@rygvko for real?? damnn... did you extract the zip directly into your OBS folder?

[rygvko]

@Localzen Yes I did....C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\obs-backgroundremoval And C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit

[DrewskiesAU]

Confirming my OBS is the current version and extract directly to the location

[rygvko]

I think its a bug in the plugin causing that....the developer must fix it....

[kontroll]

I can see the filter, on Linux, under the list of Audio/Video filters. My problem is that I use my phone as a cam, and it uses a browser source, which doesn't support Audio/Video filters. For that reason I can't apply the filter anyway.

[xelantro]

@kontroll If you use Android I can recomment you droid cam, they can be aceessed through browser as well, but they also ship an (windows and linux) desktop client

[chukwumaokere]

ALso having this issue...

[DrewskiesAU]

Still not working, has there been any updates to fix as of yet?

[rygvko]

i guess it never gonna fix....cause the developer dont care about it.....its just few computer that not able to used it....just uninstall
and find another way....forget this suck plugin....

[royshil]

i'm releasing another version for OBS v27.1.3 - latest, so it would show up for you
hang tight, 2-3 days it should be out for all OSs

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this @royshil

I have just tried the new file and it still doesnt show up for me

I am running 27.1.3 (32 bit)

I found a fix for windows: after you extract de zip manually place the files in obs directories.

I still cant get this to work. I have decided to not worry about this one now.

Thank you everyone for trying :)

I looked into the log file, and it says:

I highlighted the files that are used by this plugin. They're all on place. Somehow OBS doesn't count them for plugin...

As I can see from discussion here that might be due to dependency problems of the said dlls:
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/solved-issues-with-plugin-loading.79508/

[Artyrm]

Dependecy Walker shows several missing libraries:

Most notably, d2d12.dll - that means no chance for me to get it running on my laptop, since it is Win7.

obs-backround remover requires some more dlls:

If someone with Win7 could try to build it, I guess, we would find out more.

[lluio]

@KeysiJones jones solution worked for me on Ubuntu 21.04 :)

[KeysiJones]

I'm very happy that it worked for you @lluio !!! have a nice day !!

[royshil]

this shuold be resolved now

[ngreyes]

The issue may be your screen resolution, I had the same problem. Shrink down the OBS window for the Audio/Video filters and then move the window upwards, you will notice a second set of adding filters button. The top set is for Audio/Video and the second bottom set is for effects, that's where you will find the Background remover.
