How to start OBS with specific BROADCAST selected

[camfix]

Hi all,
I searched and also read the commandline parameters but am still looking on how to (re)start OBS with a specific (previously prepared) "Broadcast".
Boradcast related buttons are under "Control" tab on the very right in OBS.
Once a Broadcast is prepared ("Manage Boroadcast", with title and when it shall start etc), it needs to be "selected" in OBS.
Unfortunately OBS loses this selction when OBS is closed or (like in our case) the PC (out of my control) is turned off or rebooted.
Is there a way (commandline/script etc) to (re)start OBS with a specific Broadcast ?
Thanks!

The first (right side) button below "Controls" is "Manage Broadcast"

Once that button is clicked we get to below screen.
Here we need to click on the right tab to get to "Select Existing Broadcast" and will see a list of earlier prepared Broadcasts:

Is there a way to start OBS with such a Broadcast like with --profile or --scene ?
Something like --broadcast?
Is there an API or script to select a Broadcast?
Thanks!

This is how it looks after the specific Broadcast in that list is selected

were you able to find a solution to this? I have the same question. Thanks.

Me too. This would be a game changing option, when I would be able to choose programmatically, which broadcast OBS uses.

Hi!
I have the same problem. You can easily create a new broadcast + stream via Google
YT API automatically (e.g. withPython).

Unfortunately, it is not possible to select the pre-created broadcast in OBS via, for example, a websocket call.

Websocket has the "stream start" command only.
But this command creates a completely new broadcast on YT with default settings.
And not all parameter are changeable, since the stream is already live on YT.

Is there another way to select an existing broadcast on YT in OBS?
Maybe via the scripts function? Have anyone a smart idea?

sorry no, tried some key macro programs but OBS layout keeps changing, had to constantly readjust, way too much hassle, gave up on OBS.
Used a commercial program, much better.
Maybe this and similar features will be added in future?
