Oh hey Linux Mint Nerds - I have a BIG problem and I'm streaming in a few hours:

I need Aitum Multistream installed - Otherwise I can't stream to Owncast at the same time as twitch!

I've downloaded that installer - clicked to install it, restarted OBS flatpack and it still won't show up. So I guess I have to "Manually" do it?

Any help is desperately wanted and appreciated!

Aitum

Aitum (aitum.tv)

This is where I got it

@JenJen have you tried installing the plugin from the obs flathub page? https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.obsproject.Studio
It's what's suggested on the install page if you installed obs through flatpak

@JenJen If you're running OBS through a flatpak then you need to install plugins through the Flathub page. Go to https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.obsproject.Studio and scroll to the bottom of the page where you have a bunch of links for "Information", "Link", "Add-ons" etc. Click on "Add-ons", then "More", and in the list scroll down until you find Aitum Multistream, then click the "Install" button next to it.

Maybe it is even available in the Mint software installer ?

@JenJen I think you'll need the flatpak rather than the DEB package, You can probably just install the flatpak following the instructions on that page, but if it creates a menu entry you'll have two, so you could uninstall the DEB from Software Manager first.

@JenJen
If you installed OBS via flatpak you will need to install the addon via flatpak as well. The default download on the linked page is a deb package which would work with OBS installed from the mint apt repos or from source.

The flathub page for OBS has install links which should trigger a flatpak install if you select the addon from the list near the bottom of the page.

You can also check the list of installed flatpak packages with the terminal command `flatpak list` and install the addon from the terminal with `flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.AitumStreamSuite`.

@JenJen "flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.AitumMultistream" this is the method recommended on the flathub page.
