Question / Help Local videos playlist playing through OBS + twitch bot with basic commands on playlist

Hello,

I'm currently working on a web TV project.
Here is the thing : I got a lot of videos on my hard drive, and I can play them on my stream using this plugin : https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/video-source-plugin.20/
The thing is, I'd like to do two more things.
First of all, I'd like to get the name of the video currently playing. I guess it shouldn't be very hard to have an output from OBS, but I don't know a lot about this software, is it possible?
Second of all, I'd like to have a bot in my twitch chat that would allow players to do things like !skip (skip vote for the current video), or other sorts of things (!add <youtube-url>). I could of course code everything myself, I just don't know how to interact between a script, and OBS.

If any of you could offer me any help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Edit: I looked for some help in the chat, and I think the easiest solution is to stream a VLC window, and do all the bot/playlist interaction through VLC. If anyone has a better idea, I'm still open to any suggestion!

Those are all things that would have to be added to the plugin itself rather than to OBS, so that is the kind of thing where you would have to ask the plugin author. However, I believe Faruton has ceased development on OBS1 plugins in favor of working on features for OBS Multiplatform.
