Alter Pulse Audio to add new sources

sudo gpasswd -a $USER audio

In ~/.config/pulse/default.pa:

# First, load system-wide default setting
# The path of system-wide setting file may differ from your system, please check yours
.include /etc/pulse/default.pa

# Create a new `null-sink`
# Freely choose `sink_name` field, but as it is used in the following settings, don't forget it
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=OBSSink sink_properties=device.description="OBS"
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=DISCORDOBSSink sink_properties=device.description="DISCORDOBS"

You can now use these new sources in OBS.

Add Tuna plugin to display VLC tracks

Download here

Unzip it.

Create a directory where to put the OBS plugins.

mkdir -p ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/tuna

Move the content of the download inside this new directory.

Create a directory that will contain the temporary files generated by the plugin.

mkdir -p ~/obs-studio/tuna

Start OBS.

In Tools > Tuna Settings > General: Change the cover path and point it to the directory for generated files.

Remember to set the source to VLC when you want to use VLC.
