Lua Socket module

[tensor]

I would like to communicate with my Twitch chatbot via a socket. This works from Lua 5.1 in Windows, but in OBS it doesn't find the socket.

This is in the Script log:

Error running file: C:/Projects/OBS/test-plugin/countdown-source.lua:6: module 'socket' not found:
no field package.preload['socket']
no file '.\socket.lua'
no file 'C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\lua\socket.lua'

Did you manage to solve this? I would also like to use udp in OBS but so far can not find any examples.

Take a look at https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/control-visca-over-ip-based-cameras.136462/#post-502272
It uses ljsocket for IP communication with PTZ camera
