Hi. Product owner of Live Link and Live Link Hub here.

With UE5.5 and UEFN we are no longer shipping Live Link Hub with all the 3rd party plugins - Mocopi, Rokoko, Vicon MoveAI - pre-loaded. This is because we don’t develop those plugins - they’re created and owned by Sony, Rokoko, Vicon & MoveAI respectively and by letting them distribute their own plugins it means they push updates more quickly without having to wait for UEFN or Live Link Hub to be updated.

You will be able download plugins from those vendors and load them into Live Link Hub yourself. The Sony Mocopi plugin should be updated later this month when UE5.5 is released and you will then be able to download it. I think this is the download link:

Sony Corporation - mocopi | mocopi SDK Download

The new method for adding plugins is as follows:

Settings>Plugins>Plugin Directories>User Plugin Directories - add the location of the Mocopi plugin here and restart Live Link Hub.

Result: Mocopi plugin will be listed as a source to add.

Full documentation for Live Link Hub will be published with the release of UE5.5
