[Bug Fix] Reenable building with captions on MacOS#546
Conversation
OBS on MacOS supports closed caption encoding. The Windows-only dependencies [here](https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/UI/frontend-plugins/frontend-tools/CMakeLists.txt#L73) are only related to audio capture, not closed caption encoding.

If captions are already included regardless of the CMake file, then wouldn't it also support linux too? |
|
I don't have an environment where I can test Linux support at the moment, but on the MacOS side it definitely appears to work. |
|
Tested myself on ubuntu, works great. Merging this since there is nothing to change for Ubuntu. |
|
@tt2468 Thank you! Any chances for a point release? I'm looking to use this in an app soon and it will simplify instructions if I don't need to explain to users how to build this on their own if they're on MacOS. |

You can download your pr's macos artifact here, which should include an installer https://dev.azure.com/Palakis/2687c5e1-1f5c-4326-8080-85cbdf4f4033/_apis/build/builds/1288/artifacts?artifactName=macos_build&api-version=5.1&%24format=zip |

Is this related to the issue I opened here ? #617 If so, How do I fix this? |
|
@arisprung Yes it is! |

This reverts #477. OBS on MacOS supports closed caption encoding. The Windows-only dependencies here are only related to audio capture, not closed caption encoding.
