OBS-web v5

[Niek]

Is there a way to run an instance on an internal server, within a firewall?

If you mean "can I access an internal/firewalled OBS instance over the internet": sure, the easiest way is this:

• Install ngrok from https://ngrok.com/download
• Run: ngrok http 4455
• Copy the "forwarding" URL you see, change "https" in "wss" and use that to connect, for example: wss://ID.eu.ngrok.io

Actually, I meant can I run an instance of obs-web on my own server, within a firewall?

You can download the latest build ZIP file of obs-web here, there is no need to run a web server - you can just open index.html and have it running.

Hi,
if I use this for streaming: How can I manage the broadcasts from remote?

Is there a way to add additional commands to interface with OBS, such as triggering hotkeys from a button?

Also, Is it possible to not show certain scenes?

I just downloaded the HTML file pack, unzipped it into a directory where I keep a lot of ancillary OBS tools, then created a web panel to load this page. Reason: I use a two-OBS setup, one on one computer to capture and composite, sending the resulting video via NDI to a second, which does the actual encoding and streaming. I also have Websockets installed on the encoder/streamer OBS instance, to which I point your page via the abovementioned web panel in the streaming OBS setup. That way I can make sure the right scenes are selected in case something goes wrong with the Advanced Scene Switcher process I use for most of the automation I do, which includes making sure the NDI ingestion scene is actually visible when I need it to be.

Thanks so much for this. I wanted something super simple yet didn't need something needlessly complete like TouchPortal or LioranBoard (which I really only use with the studio PC). This is perfect for this purpose!

Interesting. I have a user of my 24/7 app that does something similar. They have one copy of obs , paired with my app over a web-socket that outputs to SRT. The live obs, either receives and plays the 24/7 stream or switches to the live stream mode, using my 24/7 when a live event is not in process.

When looking at some other remote OBS control solutions, none of them seems to address the issue of managing broadcasts.
Maybe that's not even possible via the socket API?

Another possibility is using a remote desktop tool such as Teamviewer, but I would prefer a solution customized to OBS.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It is also possibile to ear the sound of OBS? we need to check if the voice it works or not

thank you!

Can anyone give a high-level overview of data flow for this tool? I'm familiar with network protocols such as TCP and HTTP, but not so much for websockets. How does this tool work, and what information is flowing through the external server?
