Question / Help Stream key cannot stream on first try

So I have a weird issue. A little background first. I work in a 16 kit lab with ps4s and xboxes and a computer to control each one. In the last month I have been creating automation tools to make setup and tear down a lot easier.

The only issue is that sometimes, on the first try, OBS will give me the following error:

Could not access the specified channel or stream key, please double-check your stream key. If it is correct, there may be a problem connecting to the server.

It works when you try it a second time and everything is hunky dory. The issue is, there's not a very good way, at least as far as I know, how to get the status of a stream to auto-try again. The websocket that was released recently outputs a human readable status in powershell which isn't very good for checking status.

I was wondering 2 things:

1. Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, have you been able to fix it?
2. Does OBS Studio have an auto-retry option?

Thanks!
