Thank you AaronD!I made a script that:
I don't start OBS directly. In fact, none of my serious rigs start OBS directly. It's always through a script that does other things too.
- Opens a web browser to YT's Live Dashboard page, and puts it on a dedicated monitor, then
- Starts OBS
Anyway, that gives me a way to see that the stream is in fact working correctly (about 10-20 seconds behind, which is normal), and shows me the "completed" message after it times out. As a natural part of shutting down, I dismiss that message.
So the solution for you might just be to make it a natural part of running the rig, and not the arduous additional thing that it is now. If you're there anyway, then the same thing becomes easy.
So this is my macro
It already waits for 5 minutes. But still not working
