# About

This is a browser source plugin for obs-studio (https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio) based

on QtWebkit library. This plugin is Linux only.

Currently does not support interaction with the web page, but it might be added later.

# Building

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`.

# Installing

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`.

# Design choices

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.
