Did you install it yet? I ask because some people don't understand that "downloading" and "installing" are different things.
Where did you look for it? It comes up as a dock panel that you can put into OBS Studio's user interface.

I am using PopOS as my operating system. I have OBS 30.1.1 installed on my computer. From this website, https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/tag/0.5.0.4-flatpak I downloaded the file obs-multi-rtmp-0.5.0.4-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.xz. It states two places to extract the file to, either ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins or ~/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugins. Neither of those locations will come up when I attempt to extract it with the archive manager.
I am a novice when it comes to Linux, so I am not sure how to make this plugin work for OBS on PopOS. I am able to stream to multiple streams with OBS on the desktop using Windows 11. I want to go away from windows though and use Linux as my primary OS. I just want to make sure I can stream to YT, Twitch, Kick, FB, etc without issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get multi streaming on the linux OS?

I can't get mine to show up either :/
I've tried installing
I've tried uninstalling first then reinstalling
I can't get it to show up on the Dock menu

I figured it out. On the home location, enable Show Hidden Files. I am using the Flatpack OBS studio install. I had this file obs-multi-rtmp-0.5.0.4-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.xz in my download folder. I right clicked on it and selected Extract to. I then clicked Home. By selecting the option to see hidden files the folder .var was available. I followed ~/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio to that folder and extracted. Once extracted I renamed the folder extracted to Plugins. And it popped right up on restarting OBS.

Windows 11, if that matters

When you reinstall after uninstalling, is it asking where to install the plugin? If so, where are you putting it?
Also, which version of OBS Studio are you using?

not in portable mode...but it is wanting to install in a folder that has nothing else to do with OBS - a C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\obs-multi-rtmp - not C:\Program Files\obs-studio\plugins
This is happening on both 0.5.0.4 and 0.6.0.0

it's asking where, but when I tell it, it's saying I can't change that directory.
I'm in 30.1.1 64bit

went back to 0.5.0.3 and it's working :)
Yes I accepted a pull request enabling those.
But not well tested by myself

Where exactly are you telling it to install the plugin? Most of the time, using a "normal" installation of OBS Studio, you shouldn't have to.
If you used a normal installation of OBS Studio, i.e. not from Steam, not from the Microsoft store, but straight-up from an installer, nominally, it should be "C:\Program Files\obs-studio". And if you do tell it, it has to be the base of your OBS Studio installation, not the plugin directory.
In other words, if you are asked to fill it out and it is not filled out and it is in the "nominal" (you did not tell OBS Studio's installer to install it anywhere else) install, it should be:
Code:
C:\Program Files\obs-studioIt should not be:
Code:
C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-pluginsPlus you may be specifying a directory that may not exist. When in doubt, use the "browse" button in the installer. This ensures that the installer can actually see the directory you're trying to install to.

The installer fixed the target location to C:\ProgramData\obs-studio, where OBS searches globally.
The reason is too many people asked how to install plugin and can't find the correct path.
For experienced user, there is also zip archive to setup manually.

Are you only streaming to Twitch and YouTube? Did you set up the Settings/Stream setup as well, and if so, for which service?
Knowing this will help in diagnosing the issue.
For my part, I tried to set my Twitch+YouTube+VStream (the latter one when it was still around) in the plugin, telling it to inherit encoding settings from OBS Studio. I had to move one of them to the main setup so the Start Streaming button could work plus the setting in the plugin which told OBS Studio to tell the plugin to start all streams when the Start Streaming button was pressed.
--Katt. =^.^=
Just a guess that the encoding settings (resolution, bitrate, etc.) exceed the limit of twitch, and its server refuse the streaming.

I streamed a normal stream on Twitch and YouTube yesterday with plugin version 0.6.0.1 and OBS Studio 30.1.2, and it was solid as a rock (things were working perfectly).
However, one thing I did notice, but I don't know if it's Twitch or if it's the plugin, but I'm seeing Twitch saying that my stream was "unstable", but a review of the VOD after stream shows the stream is, as I said about my experience above, solid as a rock. The only issues I did see in the stream I can chalk up to internal stuff (I use four PCs to stream, but that's a different conversation for another thread).

I'd like to make a feature request. It'd be convenient to have CallVendorRequest added in to this plugin so one could automate starting and stopping of streams via obs-websocket.
