6. Use OBSCommand.exe to control OBS Studio local or from a remote machine
Usage:
OBSCommand.exe /server=127.0.0.1:4444 /password=xxxx /profile=myprofile /scene=myscene /hidesource=myscene/mysource /showsource=myscene/mysource /toggleaudio=myaudio /mute=myaudio /unmute=myaudio /setvolume=mysource,volume,delay /startstream /stopstream /startrecording /stoprecording /command=mycommand,myparam
