Expected Behavior

After installing the camera extension, the camera can be found immediately and the program needs to be restarted.

Current Behavior

This is not an obs bug. In fact, this is what I encountered when I tried to add a camera extension virtual camera to a Qt project. I noticed that obs also uses the camera extension solution, and the virtual camera can be obtained immediately after installation without restarting the program. I wrote a simple swift project, and it also works. It seems that the Qt project does not use NSApplication and other runtimes. I can't find any information, so I come here to ask, and I am very sorry to disturb your work. God bless you
