[MacOs] Unable to add gstreamer source about obs-gstreamer HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks, using otool -L, I was able to figure it out. The plugin looks for the libs in /opt/local/lib (as that's where Macports probably installs them, considering it puts the ports themselves in /opt/local/bin), but usually on MacOs, libs are located in /usr/local/lib (at least from what a quick search suggests https://stackoverflow.com/a/52578857/5177686 ). For now, I just created a symlink /opt/local/lib pointing to /usr/local/lib and that seems to make the plugin show up in OBS. Thank you!

if you are using macOS, you should install MacPorts using the macOS package installer unless you do not wish to install it to /opt/local/, the default MacPorts location, or if you wish to install a pre-release version of MacPorts base.

So since the pre-built uses Macports I will also leave it as that. Using other install sources may require linking to these specific SDKs in the first place.

Run otool -L on the plugin. Check that all file references starting with /opt are present on your file system.

Fair enough. The plugin is build via cross compile tool chain. So I guess the port variant there selects a different location than it would be on native macOS. Maybe at some point I will look into install_name_tool rewriting these paths to something closer to reality.
