Beginners question re scheduling

I have started using OBS Studio to stream a bird camera output to Youtube. I don't need to stream day and night so is there a way of scheduling streaming start and stop times ?

Couple of thoughts
1. you could Use Windows OS Scheduler to execute command lien to start OBS, and have the settings such that streaming auto starts. And then another Scheduled Task to run command line to close OBS
- There is also the websocket remote connection option of OBS that would allow OBS control from something else (script, app, etc).. limit is only your imagination
2. Or I use plugin Advanced Scene Switcher 1.8 to handle automation for me

if you search this forum, you'll see script examples for command line control of OBS

My experience with youtube is that if you stop streaming for a few hours, you tube will close the stream and you will have to start a new one on you tube itself. You can still use the old key
