Missing index.html might prevent plugin from running (workaround: create index.html)

[tsuchim]

Hi,

First, thank you for providing this plugin!

I noticed that on my environment, the OBS 17LIVE plugin did not work immediately after installation because the file:
C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\obs-17live\html\chat\index.html
was missing.

Without this index.html, the plugin's menu items were greyed out and I couldn’t log in.
I tried copying ja.html (I use a Japanese environment) and renamed it to index.html, and after that the plugin worked as expected and the login option appeared.
Once I logged in, the plugin saved its config and continued to work normally.

I understand that it may work fine for other users — so this might not affect everyone, but in my case, a clean install did not generate index.html.
If this workaround helps more people run the plugin successfully, it might be worth checking whether this file should be included or generated automatically.

Environment:

• OBS Studio version: 31.0.4
• Plugin version: v1.0.0
• OS: Windows 11 Pro

Thank you for looking into this!

Hi,

Thank you very much for the detailed report and for taking the time to test the plugin!

Just to clarify — the OBS 17LIVE plugin does not require an index.html file.
The system automatically loads the corresponding language file (for example, ja.html for Japanese) based on your OBS language settings.

To help us better understand what happened in your environment, could you please provide a screenshot showing the plugin folder structure and a further screenshot of what error you faced before you renamed the file?

That will help us confirm whether something unusual happened during installation.

Thanks again for your cooperation! 🙏
