OBS Studio API for SceneSwitcher/Preview

Hello there,

we're currently developing a small tool for streamers and would like to create a dashboard where they can also switch scenes in it with the preview (maybe even if the sounds are working).
The whole setting up of the scenes, sources, etc. would be still on OBS, it's just a tool for convenience while streaming.

Would this be possible as of right now or is there any API in planning for it?

Thanks for your time,
Brain
 
The latest unreleased version of OBS Studio (in the git repository, to be released with 0.16.0) includes a front-end API that you can use to do what you're asking for.
 
I'd say that's a damn nice timing! Glad to hear that.
Can you release any infos yet on when it's gonna be released?

On a sidenote, would you tell which Theme/libs you're using for the UI? It looks pretty good while being simple.

The UI library is Qt. 0.16.0 should be released before the weekend if all goes well. You can already start developing for it by checking out the github repo now.
