Question / Help I've added Python. How do I get it to use a midi note as a Hotkey?

[dnathan]

I downloaded and added obsmidiclient.py in the Loaded Scripts section. The instructions say to 'Choose you midi controller in the list'. I'm not sure where that is. I have QLab playing C-1 and I want that to trigger a Scene specific to C-1. I'm also hoping to have a different note trigger a Source change. (BTW, the C-1 would only be played once in the presentation.)
Thoughts? Thanks!

OK, I may have steered you wrong here. If that plugin requires Python support in OBS, I'm not sure that feature works on MacOS, unfortunately.

Rats. So a midi note is going to be undetectable by OBS?

Maybe? That response was about v22, but I don't know that Python support was added since then. Give it a try, I guess? Or perhaps there's some other 3rd party solution for translating MIDI keypresses to ordinary keypresses.

I just realized how limited QLab 4 is without a license (extremely). But I *can* drag all my midi files there and trigger them individually with a Hotkey - which will trigger OBS to fire as well! YES!!!!

I haven't figured out how to both select a scene with that Hotkey and transition to that scene (with the same Hotkey). Thoughts on that?

Thank you so much Narcogen. I can't tell you how much you've made my day.
