Automating OBS Startup with YouTube

[bigdan5428]

I'm trying to create a live stream to YouTube that starts automatically in Windows using Windows task manager. I've created a batch file that starts OBS with the --startstreaming parameter. This launches OBS with the most recent profile (which is good), but it pops up with a "no broadcast configured" notification. If I then manually select a broadcast it takes off and works fine. Is there any way to auto select a broadcast? I don't see any startup parameters in the help file that could take care of this action. Does anyone have a workaround?

Did you get it resolved?
I have the same question, suprised to find so little about Broadcasts.
Are we doing something elementary wrong here?

Me three?
I know how to start OBS, and the --startstreaming parameter seems like it ought be possible, but I haven't seen a step-by-step on how to do it.

Now. it's been a year - I currently have the same issue. I'm new to OBS and want to use YT as the provider for my stream, but I can't seem to be able to automate it. Just like the users above - has anyone managed to solve this - and if so, how?
