Question / Help Configuration files

[Chalk-X]

I'd like to do some "fancy" command line automation with OBS. I need to know where in the file system certain configuration details are stored:
1. the path for recorded output
2. the urls for VLC sources
3. the names of VLC sources
I need to know where these settings and configurations are stored so that I can manipulate them from a PowerShell script. I think I found the recorded output path stored in a hidden file called OBS.ini residing in the user appdata folder. But that is all I've been able to locate. Can anyone assist me with this?

The path for the recorded output is stored in the ini file inside the profiles:
%appdata%\obs-studio\basic\profiles
All the source configuration like the vlc url's and source names should be in the scene json file inside
%appdata%\obs-studio\basic\scenes

If you want to get and set settings like that at runtime look into https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket and https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/command-line-tool-for-obs-websocket-plugin-windows.615/

Thanks, L. I figured this out yesterday and was about to post my findings. Thanks for verifying. Rather than manipulating the .json file for the scene, I plan to create scenes for each source that I want to record, then select the scene by manipulating the global.ini contents. The record destination path I can set by manipulating the basic.ini contents. Thanks again for your response.
