This script will regularly publish real-time (JSON-encoded) OBS status information to the configured MQTT host, port, and channel at the specified interval. I wrote this is so I could make my own fully-automated IoT "RECORDING" sign:
Examples of what gets published:
Right when OBS starts up (if the script is enabled) or if you "Exit" OBS without first stopping any recording/streaming:
It won't publish anything at all after that until you start recording or streaming (so it doesn't spam your MQTT server with unnecessary messages).
After recording starts:
(repeats messages like that every <interval> seconds)
When recording stops:
Note that I tried to add support for TLS but OBS currently has a bug (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/2222) that prevents binary Python modules (like ssl) from working (they throw exceptions like
). Once that's fixed I can add TLS support.
