obs 28 and 29 use websokets v5. But there is a compatible v4 style plugin available.You need to search for it.

I am struggling to add monitors to a scene. I can get a list of monitors, I can create a scene item and then set it's transform but the monitor does not display. I can see the monitors listed in the "Sources" panel but In the central bar I just see "[Device not connected or not available]" until I open and close the properties panel (don't have to change anything) and then the monitor display appears exactly as I want it. Can any one advise which calls I need to make to get both my monitors into the scene properly purely via code?
I have exported the "Scene Collection" and the only difference between the JSON files is that the working one has a different Monitor ID in the source settings section e.g.
"monitor_id": "\\\\?\\DISPLAY#DEL415D#5&461e0e2&0&UID4352#{e6f07b5f-ee97-4a90-b076-33f57bf4eaa7}"
instead of this which I gave as the monitor ID
"monitor_id": "DELL U2419H (2)(1)",
Can anyone identify what I am doing wrong?
Just to share it with you, I just ran File Check Integrity, and the OBS was restarted, so the WebSocket Server Settings just appeared after that. So, if it is not necessary to understand it I will understand.

FWIW I believe you can use Advanced Scene Switcher to automate changing stream keys.
does anyone know if its possible to control the specific settings of plugins using web sockets ? or does it just control main OBS functions ? I have installed source switcher plugin... id like to find a way to change the "duration" value in the "time switch" mode, also the "duration" value of the "transition"... i have got web sockets working to do basic scene switching but im trying to understand how to change parameters in filters or if its even possible ?

Hi I don't know if this applies to obs 28+, but in the obs v4 socket api you can use the following command to
TALK TO SOME FILTERS". I use these commands to set opacity.
I don't know if Adv SS will handle these remote commands.
Anyway, hope that helps
"sourceName", SourceName, "filterName", Filtername, "filterSettings", Settings)
"sourceName" =OVERLAY_BLACK
"filtername" = FADE_CONTROL
"settings = {"opacity":0.99}
Sample command string
{"request-type":"SetSourceFilterSettings","message-id":"77,134,OVERLAY_BLACK,FADE_CONTROL","sourceName":"OVERLAY_BLACK","filterName":"FADE_CONTROL","filterSettings":{"opacity":0.99}}

you're welcome
I'm sending command SetCurrentProgramScene code below. It works, but there's a 2 second delay between OBS websocket receiving the command to it executing it (live log).
I've tried other json websocket commands, like start or stopping stream, and the reaction is immediate.
Anyone encounter this?
{
"d": {
"requestData": {
"sceneName": "Scene1"
},
"requestType": "SetCurrentProgramScene",
"requestId": "99999"
},
"op": 6
}

AND after I posted this, i discovered my destination OBS machine had a blank "stinger" file playing on each transition without me seeing it. DOh!
