Suggestion: Allow a shortcut to be made to start and stop the stream

[LanceLake]

I'd like to be able to use my streamdeck or bot to send a keypress to start and a different one to stop. Can you program in this functionality?

[iandouglas]

If you tell the plugin to start streaming to those platforms when you start broadcasting in OBS, then there's already a plugin to do this.

[LanceLake]

True... However, this doesn't solve my issue.

If I start streaming directly when OBS starts and stops, then the preshow I do (which has youtube videos in it) gets flagged by Youtube. What I'd like to do is to start my normal twitch streaming, then when my intro starts (1:40 of title music, then me live), I would like to automatically trigger YouTube streaming (or whatever else streaming).

Also when I end, because I don't sync it to OBS, I have to wait for the end credits to stop streaming to the other services instead of letting the bot handle it after the outro.

See the problem? :)

[iandouglas]

Yes, I understand your use case.

Stream deck can communicate with APIs, and that does feel a bit out of the design for this plugin. I imagine this could/would end up being a separate project or something. I'll bow out of the conversation and let the author answer. :)

[LanceLake]

It doesn't need to be an API. It just needs to be a shortcut that when a key is pressed, the streams with that shortcut listed start and when you press the other key, the streams with that key selected will stop. :) It's reading the keyboard, not APIs. :)

Could we potentially add support for the built in OBS websocket command CallVendorRequest to start and stop targets? That way a whole api is not needed but we can leverage the existing connection made to the OBS websocket.

Like the implementation use by https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Switching-scenes-for-Aitum-Vertical-plugin

The websocket command would be something like this:

    "op": 6,
    "d": {
        "requestType": "CallVendorRequest",
        "requestId": "someRandomId",
        "requestData": {
            "vendorName": "obs-multi-rtmp",
            "requestType": "start-target",
            "requestData": {
                "target_id": "123456789"
            }
        }
    }

This would allow anything that can currently talk to OBS over websocket to trigger and stop streams.

it requires the code structure become MVC pattern or something alike, which it currently not be.
