Would it be possible to specify what the recording should be called, and where to store it, via obs-cmd?

many thanks!

Add a obs-cmd recording status command.

Like in obs-cli: https://github.com/muesli/obs-cli/blob/7c0b514d6988ba4582f753de829450a96b943301/recording.go#L122

Hi!

Could you please add something to be able to run transition when in studio mode, like https://github.com/muesli/obs-cli/ can with obs-cmd studiomode transition (could be under a different command)?

Thank you!

Can a mute toggle command be added? I can sneeze loudly. I don't want to blow anyone's ears out.

Hey there, I like your work and I found it while searching for a replacement for obs-cli. I've added it to the AUR and it can be found here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-cmd

I'll watch here for major version updates and update the AUR accordingly. Thanks for your efforts!

Hey there! I'd like to recommend adding a command option for specifying the websocket password to eliminate the need for the ~/.config/obs-cmd.toml config file. My previous scripts, based on obs-cli, already specified this info using my own global config file and it'd be nice if I could continue this trend as I have 5 live streaming rigs with their own unique configs. Thanks!

Hi,

Great project! I had the same issue last year with websockets v5, so I quickly hacked together this: https://github.com/tbocek/obs-cli5x. Since your project does what I need, and it seems well maintained, I'm going to switch to use your version.

There is even an aur version, which makes my life easier. Awesome!

(this is not an issue, so you can close it, just wanted to say thanks)

First, this client works so well. When I use it with my streamdeck, I'm able to fire off a command to OBS whenever I sneeze or have to do something else at a moments notice. Now that obs-cmd can toggle mute,

Is there any possibility to add a command to toggle the visibility of a source?

I would like to be able hide my camera specifically. I know that this is supposed to be minimal.

Willing to contribute in case help is needed\wanted :)

I find this project amazing and saves me implementing a basic interface in python, and adding to this is easy as I'm very familiar with rust. I ask this as would plan on adding extra bits as time goes on (and I have time), and wonder how much I should open PRs for (I would probably mainly add other Requests stuff and helpers around them).

Amazing work!!

OBS Version: OBS 30.0.0-rc1-82-gba25bc65c-modified (linux)
obs-cmd Version: 17.1

Failing to use the obs-cmd, getting auth errors. The password is added in obs-cmd.toml. It had worked before I have updated obs-cmd, I think.

obs-cmd output:
Error: Handshake(ConnectionClosed(Some(CloseDetails { code: Library(4009), reason: "Authentication failed." })))

obs socket output with debug enabled:

It would appear that the package version in Cargo.toml (and thus reported by --version/-V) is incorrect, still being at 0.1.1.

Any thoughts on adding Scenes so the end-user can enable/disable them like how you can mute Audio Sources?

From what is said over at RUSTSEC-2024-0019, looks like this could only affect Windows user and may result in a use-after-free in tokio.

I post my OBS websocket bash scripts to my codeburg. I want to be able to read the websocket secret from a file outside the repository so i dont have to include it. with possible options for plain text or hashed/salted - however, plain text is a fine start right now though -- i mean, obs-websocket stores password in plain text currently as well, as bad a security practice as that is.

hey wait! maybe we could read it direct from there if possible. or at least add the option to read direct from the OBS config.

Documenation refers to $ obs-cmd streaming start, but this returns Invalid command: streaming

The correct command is
obs-cmd stream start

it should override the config in the file if present

In working on obs-cmd, I noticed that it's a fairly niche tool, and the status of its development puts it into a bit of a weird situation with packaging - not to mention that it being in Rust makes some distros (Fedora) angry.

I'd love to help develop this (such that it's feature complete), and having a Flatpak package for it would help in getting it out to users faster.

If you're fine with it, I can submit obs-cmd to Flathub and automate the updating and maintenance of it.

Hi. First of all, thanks for this piece of software 💚.

I have tried it and it works so well for me when I try to toggle a scene item with

obs-cmd scene-item toggle <scene> <item>.

But it doesn't have any option (as far as I know) to toggle a scene filter.

Is there any possibility to add a command to toggle that? Something like:

obs-cmd scene-filter toggle <scene> <filter-item>.

That would be pretty useful, specially to allow to automate usage of some specific plugins, like obs-move-transition. I want to do that using the streamdeck, but I could only achieve that if I'm able of doing such thing via commands and there is no simple/practical way of achieve that.

I know that this is supposed to have a minimal API, with I think this feature could be useful enough to be considered.

Hi, first word, awesome project! Thank you so much for the effort to create the tool.

I'm using Windows and with my current WebSocket server settings, I'm putting authentication on. After fiddling with the tools for a while, I realized that the authentication should be disabled for obs-cmd interaction. Is there any settings in the tools which help for the authentication, or should I disable it by default from now to use obs-cmd?

It's requiring a password here.

I prefer keeping the authentication on, so if there is any method for the tool to work with my current settings, it would help a lot.

Thanks for your work. Hope you have a great day.

Now we can record a video by obs-cmd.
How to take a photo and save to jpg file?
Thank you

Please consider adding a command argument to pause and unpause the recording, for me its important.
obs-cli has this feature but i rather not rely on a progamm that is build on a old standard,
also please add the paused status to recording status
so this would be nice:
obs-cmd recording status

Recording Status
Recording: false
Paused: false

Paused is not a thing right now of couse,
also for the pausing i think
obs-cmd recording pause should pause
obs-cmd recording unpause should unpause
obs-cmd recording togglepause should toggle pause (toggle_pause might also be a good option)

I had to do a reinstall of my OS. I'm trying to remember where to input the websockets password.

I know it's a file named obs-cmd.toml and its contents are:

OBS_WS_PASSWORD="trCYeMhv9k50e01s"

but i don't know where to leave the file. So far I've tried in the home folder and ~/.config

typing in the password in terminal allows for a connection, but otherwise I'm getting a handshake error.

Pretty simple, theres a new and advance Elgato Stream Deck application currently being worked on for linux which support plugins,

https://github.com/StreamController/StreamController

Would be cool if you could create a plugin for it, theres already an OBS plugin but it is very minimal and lacks a lot fo features

Add ability to change scene collections.
