Custom Docks Bug?

Hi!
I was trying to add as a custom dock Animated Lower Thirds. However, the following error message appeared:
"Couldn't load that page!
Make sure the address is correct, and that the site isn't having issues.
Server's IP address not found
URL: http: //home/xxx/OBSTest/_ScriptsAndPlugins/Plugins/Animated-Lower-Thirds/lower thirds/control-panel.html
Click here to retry"
Can't I use a local path instead a URL for the plugin ?
Thank you.

A local file wil definately not work via http:// protocol.

Try file:///home/xxx/OBSTest/_ScriptsAndPlugins/Plugins/Animated-Lower-Thirds/lower thirds/control-panel.html

Notice the three ///. That is two for the protocol spec file:// and then your root /.

@Tuna: I tried and it's working. I didn't expect that it will use the http protocol by default. I must emphasize that this bug is NOT related to the plugin.
I suggest the OBS dev team to add the browse button in View>Docks>Custom Browser Docks like in Windows in order to avoid this kind of problems.
Thank you.

P.s. After closing and restarting OBS the error appeared again. I removed from the Custom Browser Docks the plugin line, restarted and re-entered the path and now it's working.

Hey I'm having the same issue:( Can I ask how did you remove the http:/ protocol infront of the URL? For me it automaticlly appears there. Does it have to do anything with the fact that I'm on Linux? @Tuna
