Help with OBS (switching on a source)

Post by Fulminare » 16 May 2022, 05:42

Hi

I am trying to switch on a source in OBS. I have assigned shortcuts to that source.

1) I am not able to activate the shortcut through ahk.(eg Send, ^+2)

2) Is there any way to directly turn on and off a particular source using ahk ?

Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.

Regards.

So you wanna trigger OBS from Windows? Maybe doing it via its WebSocket could do the trick: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket
Matric (Android) OR Touch Portal (iOS/Android) is providing (AFAIK) native OBS support. HTH

No, that I am already able to do using touch portal.

See. I am using ahk to start a zoom meeting.
The video is sent to zoom via OBS.

After a certain amount of time elapses, I want ahk to turn on a source for about 5 seconds and then turn it off.
The timer part ,I figured it out. But not turning the source on and off.

As I said earlier, using send, ^+2 e.t.c is not working.
