Hey everyone, I run a livestream setup for a local religious organization, and I am looking for a way to interact with a browser source in OBS, just to hit play on that damn thing - without leaving my Multiview screen.
Lemme give you a bit of a pre-requisite here. I am working for a local organisation and they want me to give them a setup where on their main laptop screen they have a multiview where they can see the different scenes. I have setup a few scenes for them, which include a few camera feeds using media source and rtsp, a no video screen just in case, and they wanted to show pdf. Now initially, I used a plugin for that but I had to interact with it just to change pages and everything and they didn't like it. So I built a custom solution, where they can put their pdf and on OBS they have to interact with the browser once by adding the room code and then they can remotely control the pdf i.e zoom level and pages and everything. Now the problem is that they want a browser as well.
They get videos from their head organizations and these organizations have their own website with a video that I can't even extract because of their security and they have OTP auth and everything, but generally we can login to their custom website and then view the video. Now they want to put this system in OBS. In OBS Multiview you can't interact with sources directly. The only way to interact with a browser source is to right click it in the main OBS window and hit Interact - which means leaving Multiview every time I want to hit play on a video.
And they don't want to leave multiview at all, they want the industry level looking setup with just one laptop. Currently, I am giving output using extended HDMI where on the other display I show the Fullscreen projector which is split and seen on multiple TVs.
What I'm looking for:
I am using Durchblik for Multiview as it gives me a custom grid to work with. Ik this is a very very niche problem and ik OBS browser is made mostly for non-interactable websites but I would really appreciate any form of help here. Thank you!

What I'm looking for:
- A way to send a play command to a browser source from my phone or from Multiview
- I'm okay with plugins, obs-websocket, custom scripts, or even building something myself
