DAL plugins don't work in apps with hardened runtime (e.g. in Zoom, Teams, Skype, Safari, Quicktime, Photo Booth etc)

[ChrisWeiss]

I ran through the compile and everything seems to be fine, am able to run OBS from the terminal, but I'm not seeing any new video sources in Photo Both or Google Hangouts.
The console output when launching indicates that it is loading the module (though there is some warning)
Is there some other step I need to complete?

Yeah I've been running into sporadic code signing issues. Every now and then macOS will block the plugin from loading. I haven't been able to pin down why it only happens sometimes. Do you see anything in Console.app if you search for virtualcam?

[rberenguel]

It shouldn’t be needed, but after a restart I got it (Google Meet on Chrome, but only shows sometimes on Photo Booth: this also happens with other virtual camera devices)

[johnboiles]

Did you try a Google Meet meeting and the person on the other end was able to see you? I've been having trouble with this (see #2) -- I can see my own preview fine but the person on the other end reports my video as frozen.

[rberenguel]

Yes I’ve seen your other issue. No, it was late and I just was confirming it seemed to work, this was only in the preview. The frame syncing you added didn’t fix the issue?

[ChrisWeiss]

Sure enough, I get the following in Console (even after a reboot):
default 10:00:02.619975 -0700 Photo Booth Error loading /Library/

FWIW - This is a corporate laptop and it's pretty locked down. (I dont think I could get away with disabling SIP to get some of the other solutions to work).

[johnboiles]

I've gotten this sometimes as well and it's baffling to me. One thing I'm trying is changing my codesigning identity to my personal developer account

Then that assigns a Team ID during codesigning. But it doesn't explain why it sometimes works without a team id.

@ChrisWeiss does your locked down corporate laptop have Carbon Black on it? Mine does and I always give that thing a suspicious look when spooky system things like this happen.

[gxalpha]

On this issue: I was only able to get video in quicktime. While in other apps like photo booth and discord i can select the virtualcam, it won't give output.
For discord the preview shows a black screen, and the actual video shows that it is loading all the time; and for photo booth when i select the virtualcam, the picture of the facetime camera i had before just freezes.
I know we're probably not at this point yet, but I just wanted to inform you about the issue. Also rebooting didn't help.

[johnboiles]

Thanks for the additional info @gxalpha! Every bit is helpful to try to understand what is happening!

[spenserpothier]

I am experiencing this issue as well. I was able to get this plugin working on my employer laptop (which I believe is Mojave) but not on my personal computer which is on Catalina.
I am able to see the virtual camera in Hangouts and Quicktime, but not Zoom or Photobooth.
I tried to get a list of available input devices and got the following which makes me think that this is onto something:

Hope this helps narrow it down, when this is working it's great!

[cgudea]

I have intermittent functionality after reboots, recompiles, etc

right now Im getting

No Carbon Black, we do have other security tools installed that I can't disclose :) I'll try doing the build on my personal Mac.

Any other information I can provide to help?

[johnboiles]

The inconsistency is super frustrating to me -- sometimes macOS allows it to run and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to find a pattern.

I think this will be solved once we make a distribution package of this with a real production code signature. If anyone wants to help get a release infrastructure up and running here that'd be great!

For now, my hack above seems to be working ok when I get into this state where it won't run. To make/retrieve your codesigning identity

1. Make sure you're logged into Xcode with your Apple ID (Xcode->Preferences->Accounts)
2. security find-identity -v -p codesigning to see the available codesigning identities and the associated 40 character hex identifier.
3. Change the CMakeLists.txt file for dal-plugin to use codesign --sign [your 40 char id] instead of codesign --sign -

Another data point here.

• Catalina 10.15.4
• Xcode 11.4
• Homebrew other bits
• No special security software
• security fin... returns a valid identifier from xcode for my account
• I get the same error whether I use ad-hoc (-) or my hex identifier

code signature in (/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/obs-mac-virtualcam.plugin/Contents/MacOS/obs-mac-virtualcam) not valid for use in process: mapping process is a platform binary, but mapped file is not

Rebooting and/or re-signing does not change this. No action/response needed, I'll keep following this issue on my own. Thanks for digging into this feature so quickly!

[johnboiles]

@anoldguy Thanks for the data point! What software are you using to try to view the webcam stream? I think one part of this is that some software seems more sensitive than others
