This provides two control services for OBS:
These are local applications running in Python Tkinter, so should work on any operating system (if not, that's a bug).
This doesn't work anymore since there are compiled modules needed to play sound.
Create a virtual environment. Note that obsws-python unfortunately requires Python 3.9+. On Linux with pip, sound output requires a compiler, libasound2-dev, and python3-dev (on other platforms, a pre-built package has what you need).
$ pip install https://github.com/coderefinery/obs-cr/archive/master.zipIf you are just using this: The broadcaster should give you the respective commands to run and you don't need to worry.
There is control.py to make a control panel, and preview.py to
give a preview.
obs-cr-control HOSTNAME:PORT PASSWORD
obs-cr-preview HOSTNAME:PORT PASSWORD [--delay S]obs-cr-control --small starts a small panel, designed for the most
critical indicators and buttons on a crowded teacher's screen. It
doesn't replace or have everything of the full panel (you need the
full panel open somewhere else, or a separate director).obs-cr-control --test will run without connecting to OBS. Not
everything works and there might be visible tracebacks, but you can
test the general things out.This is a streaming control panel. There are tooltips that explain most things, but just open it up and see.
This is synced with OBS (it uses OBS as the synchronization server itself, which is cool). Anything RED indicates something may be live. "Indicators" are synced lights: click a light on any control panel, and it's synced across all of them.
--small shows a smaller window, suitable for instructors who don't
want to do a lot of control.--broadcaster enables extra options that only make sense on the
broadcaster's computer (like sharing the broadcaster's screen)--resolution-command is a command that resizes the Zoom
screenshare window. WIDTH and HEIGHT get replaced by the
desired window size.--notes-window is a regex which matches a window title. This is
taken to be the "notes window" and enables the buttons that scroll
the notes up/down. Linux only for now.This shows a live preview with less latency than the stream shows.
Use --delay S to set the delay to S seconds, the default is 1 which
might be a bit too slow. This is an relatively space-inefficient
screenshot, so try not to make it too close to realtime. 0.2 is
probably fine, even 0.1.
