Getting the OBS name of the source #74

Open paul-lrr opened 7 years ago

paul-lrr commented 7 years ago

The getCurrentSource() method gives info on the current OBS scene, but is there any way to get the name in OBS of the BrowserSource itself? Not the or the url of the html file but the name it has been given in the Sources listing.</p> </div> </div> <div class="comment"> <div class="user"> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/SReject"><img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1975663?v=4" />SReject</a> commented <strong> 7 years ago</strong> </div> <div class="markdown-body"> <p>There currently isn't a way.<br /> Just a critique, the method is <code>.getCurrentScene()</code> </p> </div> </div> <div class="comment"> <div class="user"> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/paul-lrr"><img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11876694?v=4" />paul-lrr</a> commented <strong> 7 years ago</strong> </div> <div class="markdown-body"> <blockquote> <p>Just a critique, the method is .getCurrentScene()</p> </blockquote> <p>Oops!

A browser source being able to know its own obs name and what scene(s) it appears on would be very useful. Aside from the use case above (allowing a source to do something when it is being displayed on the current scene), I was recently thinking that a browser source could use obs-websocket to do advanced manipulation of itself (eg. scale, crop, rotate, apply filters, etc) but ran into the issue that a browser source doesn't actually know any obs-specific information about itself. If it knew its obs name or item id, I could use that info to target the source with obs-websocket, but as it is, I can't see a way for a given browser source to find itself in the list of obs sources.</p> </div> </div> <div class="page-bar-simple"> </div> <div class="footer"> <ul class="body"> <li>© <script> document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) </script> Githubissues.</li> <li>Githubissues is a development platform for aggregating issues.</li> </ul> </div> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery@3.5.1/dist/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/githubissues/assets/js.js"></script> <script src="/githubissues/assets/markdown.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@11.4.0/build/highlight.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@11.4.0/build/languages/go.min.js"></script> <script> hljs.highlightAll(); </script> </body> </html>
