This is pwd to that file /Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/.
cd to it cd '/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/obs-websocket/bin'
then just do rm -rf obs-websocket to delete it.

Let me know if that helps @andrearot

Thank you for your reply but it doesn't work.

I don't have any "plugins" directory.
This is what i find instead under Application Support directory:

What shall i do?

Thanks,
Andrea

[nedimf]

Can you get me pwd(path) of that folder where you at? @andrearot

[andrearot]

Sure, here it is:

Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Utenti⁩ ▸ ⁨macbookpro⁩ ▸ ⁨Libreria⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨obs-studio

[nedimf]

Yeah, it seems it's different dir structures. Plugins for you might be in

• Applications -> OBS.app
• Right click show package contents (1)
• Plugins (2)

@andrearot

[andrearot]

Ok, I tried Show Package Contents but I still can't find the directory:

[nedimf]

At this point, I'm not even sure it's installed. Can you open OBS Studio -> Tools -> OBS Websocket@andrearot

[andrearot]

Hi nedimf,
here is what I can see if I open Tools section in OBS ("Strumenti" in italian means "Tools"):

And here's what I have if i click on "Websockets Server Settings":

Thanks,
Andrea

[nedimf]

Very sorry for late response. To be honest, I have no idea what's happening there. Only what comes to my mind it's to try installing plugin again, and click on location to see where it will install it. Then send that location so we can check it, because all normal place where plugins should be installed are empty for you.

@andrearot

[andrearot]

Ok, I've just reinstalled the plugin, now I have the following files in the following directories:

In
/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/
I have:

In
Applications/OBS.app -> (Right click show package contents) -> Plugins/
I have

Is something changed now? Can I uninstall plugin? If so, can you tell me how?

Thanks a lot,
Andrea

[nedimf]

I have installed same version of OBS as you have, and I still don't get why OBS-Socket is not shown in /Library/Application Support/obs-studio/. So to further investigate issue

can you please go to Tools->Logs-> Current Logs and copy part under module loaded.
After that please let me know what is in under obs-studio/plugin-config and obs-studio/basic from image above you sent.
So we are looking for obs-websocket.so file, and after we find it, we can remove it.

Here's what is under obs-studio/plugin-config :

And here's what is under obs-studio/basic :

Thanks,

At this point I'm quite clueless whats going on, it loads obs-websocket.so somehow. From where it loads it, it's mistery. As you can see, every module from your log, it loads from OBS.app->Plugins, so it makes no sense why obs-websocket.so it s not there.
We checked if it's installed already, and it's running correctly.So at this point my only advice is to turn off obs-websocket,and continue using OBS normally. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help @andrearot.

[andrearot]

It's not good news...

Please just update me here if you find a solution.

Thanks,
Andrea

[nedimf]

Sure, will do!

Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Utenti⁩ ▸ ⁨macbookpro⁩ ▸ ⁨Libreria⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨obs-studio

This looks a little strange to me, I interpret this as (English equivalent) /Users/macbookpro/Library/Application Support/obs-studio. Can you confirm you looked in the system-wide Library folder right on Macintosh HD, rather than your user's Library?

I think that would be (in your format) Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Libreria⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨obs-studio.

[andrearot]

You were right! I was seeking in the wrong place... now i took a look in the system-wide Library and i found (and deleted) it!

But I have to tell you that the first time i checked both Library folders (system-wide and user) but the obs-studio folder wasn't there.

Thank you!
Andrea
