@drewfustin I wanted to dig into this issue, but it seems to work fine on my end. I have updated OBS to the latest version, but didn't download the obs-websocket package. Here's why:

obs-websocket is now included by default with OBS Studio 28.0.0 and above. As such, there should be no need to download obs-websocket if you have OBS Studio > 28.0.0.

As seen on the README.

Can you check it again when you have removed the websocket package? You can enable the native version in Tools -> WebSocket Server Settings

You're right -- that was it. Coupled with a restart, all is working again. Sorry for the spurious issue.
