How does the skill handle OBS-specific memory management?

It provides specific patterns for using OBS-native functions like bzalloc and bfree in C, and safe Box-to-raw-pointer transitions in Rust to prevent memory leaks.

Can I use this for all types of OBS plugins?

Yes, it includes guidance for the four primary types: Source plugins, Filter plugins, Output plugins, and Encoder plugins.

Which programming languages are supported for OBS plugin development?

This skill provides detailed support for both C/C++ (the native OBS approach) and Rust (using FFI and unsafe blocks for memory safety).

Does it help with cross-platform builds?

Yes, it includes CMakeLists.txt configurations and directory structures compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.

Streamlines the creation of OBS Studio plugins by providing expert guidance on C/C++ and Rust implementations using the OBS SDK.

This skill serves as a comprehensive technical companion for developers building OBS Studio extensions, offering deep expertise in plugin architecture, lifecycle management, and API integration. It provides standardized implementation patterns for sources, filters, outputs, and encoders, while addressing critical domain-specific challenges such as OBS-native memory management (bzalloc/bfree) and cross-platform CMake configurations. Whether you are utilizing the performance-proven C/C++ approach or the safety-oriented Rust FFI workflow, this guide ensures your plugins adhere to OBS Studio's internal standards and best practices for stable, high-performance video and audio processing.
