Usage:
OBSCommand.exe /server=127.0.0.1:4444 /password=xxxx /delay=0.5 /setdelay=0.05 /profile=myprofile /scene=myscene /hidesource=myscene/mysource /togglesource=myscene/mysource /showsource=myscene/mysource /toggleaudio=myaudio /mute=myaudio /unmute=myaudio /setvolume=mysource,volume,delay /startstream /stopstream /startrecording /stoprecording /command=mycommand,myparam1=myvalue1... /sendjson=jsonstring
Note: If Server is omitted, default 127.0.0.1:4444 will be used.
Use quotes if your item name includes spaces.
Password can be empty if no password is set in OBS Studio.
You can use the same option multiple times.
If you use Server and Password, those must be the first 2 options!
Examples:
OBSCommand.exe /scene=myscene
OBSCommand.exe /toggleaudio="Desktop Audio"
OBSCommand.exe /mute=myAudioSource
OBSCommand.exe /unmute="my Audio Source"
OBSCommand.exe /setvolume=Mic/Aux,0,50
OBSCommand.exe /setvolume=Mic/Aux,100
