Good news for anyone doing livestreaming or recording their gameplay, as OBS Studio 0.14 (and .1 hotfix) are now available.
A few major new features and some useful fixes. With some Linux-specific stuff like:
- Added an option "Use alpha-less texture format" option to window capture that helps capturing certain windows with mesa drivers
- Added an ALSA sound input source (currently added like any other source, will be accessible via audio settings as well in the future)
Apart from the Linux specific stuff, here's some highlights:
- NVIDIA NVENC encoder support. To use NVENC on linux, you must compile or get a version of FFmpeg with NVENC support
- Deinterlacing support
- Added a 'slide' transition
- Added a 'fade to color' transition
See the full changelog here.
It's a really great bit of software, and I'm pretty pleased they have fixed issues that I came across, like filters/properties windows crashing the entire app when closed. That will make livestreaming a bit easier for me to have a much more stable application.
Myself and Samsai use OBS Studio for all of our livestreams (every week!), so you know it's useful stuff.
If you're on Ubuntu, you can simply use this PPA. You can also just use this source code package. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I'm using the OBS PPA, so its 'obs-studio', but my issue is that my build of ffmpeg doesn't include the '-dev' bits, so:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep obs-studio

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.There's a *pile* of headers and things in the build trees for each of those in my ffmpeg folder... I just need to figure out how to tell debuild / dpkg-buildpackage to bundle them up as the above *-dev packages, too, and I should be able to get going. I'll keep hacking at it a bit. :p

Wait, I'm being dumb - it made the packages, but called them e.g. libavformat-dev instead of libavformat-ffmpeg-dev... I'm assuming I need to make a virtual package (kind of like a dpkg symlink?) from the latter to the former. Almost!

Okay. Forced grabbing the obs-studio sources. Realised that this is a name change thing from Debian's move from the Libav fork back to FFmpeg proper. obs-studio is looking for the transitional packages that no longer exist in Xenial / 16.04.
Quick find-and-replace on obs-studio-0.14.1.1/debian/control to get rid of the superfluous '-ffmpeg' on the Build-Depends: line... and now debuild is running! :D If this works, I'll try to post together a quick Howto on how the heck I managed to get this to build on 16.04.

Really quick and dirty and horrible, but here's a quick HOWTO of how I got it finally working on my system (Xubuntu 16.04):
OBS with NVENC for Ubuntu 16.04

Quoting: SnowdrakeFor archlinux users please note the latest opencv package did broke obs dependency.Not really you just need to rebuild deps that depend on opencv. In this case you probably use ffmpeg-full-nvenc. You need to rebuild it otherwise applications that depend on ffmpeg will crash just like OBS or MPV.
ldd /usr/bin/obs | grep opencv
