- Rewrite README.rst to identify this as a fork of upstream OBS Studio, with attribution preserved and pointers to the upstream project for general OBS docs. - Add ROADMAP.md describing the three anchor features (multi-destination streaming, native multi-canvas UI, modern UI + AI plugin suite) and versioning targets. - Allow ROADMAP.md in the project's allowlist-style .gitignore.
Upstream's push workflow only triggers builds on master and release/**. Since this fork uses master to track upstream and dev as the integration branch, we extend the push trigger and the format check to run on dev and feature/** branches as well. This means every push to dev or a feature branch will exercise the full macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows build matrix on GitHub Actions, which is our substitute for a local cross-platform dev environment.
The obs-studio-plus fork has no upstream tags pushed to origin, so CI runs hit `git describe` returning a bare SHA, which versionconfig.cmake then fed into project()/regexes that expect M.m.p — failing the macOS build with "VERSION format invalid" before configure finished. Detect the no-tag case and fall back to _obs_default_version (0.0.1).
`.package.zsh` and `Package-Windows.ps1` both call `git describe --tags --long` which exits non-zero when no tag is reachable, breaking the macOS DMG name and Windows zip name on the obs-studio-plus fork (zero tags on origin). Detect the empty result and synthesize a `<version>-<distance>-g<sha>` string from the commit count + short HEAD hash so packaging proceeds.
Two follow-ups to the previous package script change: 1. The fallback in `.package.zsh` was bypassed: with `setopt ERR_RETURN`, a failing `git describe` inside `$(...)` triggered TRAPZERR, leaking the script callstack into `git_description`. Adding `|| true` keeps the substitution successful so the empty-string check actually runs. 2. `frontend/cmake/os-linux.cmake` populated `APPDATA_RELEASE_DATE` with `git log --tags -1`, which returns empty when no tag exists. Empty date fails flatpak-builder-lint with `release-time-missing date`. Fall back to the latest commit's date.
Previous README pitched features that don't exist yet ("native vertical +
horizontal canvases", "first-class multi-destination streaming") as if
they shipped. Replace with:
- Honest "current status" section listing each branch and what's on it
- A clear "today a build from dev looks like upstream" disclaimer
- Pointers to the Actions tab for prebuilt artifacts, with the macOS
quarantine-strip command since builds are ad-hoc signed
- A build-status badge for dev
paths-ignore already covered .md; extend to .rst (the README format), plus AUTHORS and COPYING which are touched periodically when syncing upstream. Saves a 30+ min cross-platform run for documentation edits.
The fork's purpose changes from "OBS with extra Qt features" to "headless plus-host engine for the Plus desktop app." Plus is a separate, future Rust + Tauri product that talks to libobs over IPC, the same way Streamlabs Desktop uses obs-studio-node. Running libobs out-of-process keeps the GPL boundary at the IPC pipe and allows the Plus app to be licensed independently. Concretely: - PLUS_PLAN.md: full plan, 9 phases, ~80 weeks. Phase 0 starts next. - CONTRIBUTING.md: prepended fork-specific rules. OBS core (libobs/, plugins/, frontend C++/Qt, deps/) is read-only. Smell test, escape hatch, branching policy. - README.rst: rewritten to describe the engine role. The previous "OBS with multi-canvas + multi-dest + AI plugins" pitch is retired. - ROADMAP.md: stub pointing at PLUS_PLAN.md. - .github/workflows/no-core-changes.yaml: CI guard that diffs against upstream/master and fails any push that modifies off-limits paths. - .gitignore: allowlist PLUS_PLAN.md and /engine for upcoming phase 0. The previous Qt feature branches (multi-output-foundation, multi-destination-dock, ai-captions-plugin) are deleted from origin in the same session. Their work isn't wasted — concepts move into the IPC protocol — but they don't move forward as Qt code.

I will affirm as well that you do not have permission to use our branding in your fork of OBS. Please change it, or we will be forced to take further action. |
