Sends automatic messages, when stream starts (and ends as well). Can be used for automatic stream announcements. Based on this plugin: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-studio-twitter-integration.1870/
Requieres:
Python 3.11.4 (download and install it)
mastodon.py (after installation of Python, open your cmd/Powershell and type 'pip install mastodon')
pytz (for good looking timestamps, 'pip install pytz' - mastodon messages has already a timestamps on them, this is just required to bypass a spam protection)
Next you need to go to your Mastodon account -> Preferences -> Development and click "New application", name it whatever you like - doesn't really matter.
Then you need to set the "scope" to "write" (or just "write:statuses").
It will give you three types of tokens next, client key, secret key and "your access token" - last one is the exactly what you need to copy.
Copy and paste it into your MASTODON_TOKEN.txt file.
TEXT_STREAM_START.txt and TEXT_STREAM_END.txt is the actual messages that you are about to send.
Note that all three files should be placed in one folder with the script (i.e. four files should be in total including the script itself)!
Also don't forget to change your timezone in
