Arch Linux - OBS 2026 Aug bug
Currently obs-studio does not start on Arch linux, it will fail with
obs: error while loading shared libraries: libbluray.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
streaming with NVENC H.264 works with workaround:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbluray.so.4 /usr/lib/libbluray.so.3
