Web Socket suddenly showing strings of letters/numbers instead of an IP Address?

[TeamSunWolf]

Hello all.

Had something odd start to occur today while attempting to go live to Twitch.

Our websocket server settings, which we normally utilize to integrate Streamer.bot with OBS, stopped displaying a "normal" IP address in the Server IP area. Instead it's now displaying what is in the attached screenshot.

I have attempted to use this odd string to connect within Streamer.bot, but it unsurprisingly does not work.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or how to resolve it?

Thanks so much!

That's an IPv6 IP address. Did you change something on your computer to only use IPv6?

and old IP (numbers and dots) is named "IPv4".

In the OBS documentation it mentioned 127.0.0.1 as being the default IP to attempt using if Streamerbot and OBS are running on the same PC, and this worked thank goodness!

Thanks all for your help with clarification on the IP types!

Can you tell me how you solved the problem?
I tried to set the settings to "only IPv4" - see attachment.
Without success.
My StreamerBot no longer connects to OBS - that's really awful

@RockingDevil79 The IP parameter in Advanced Settings of OBS is only for streaming. Websocket is different connection and uses local address of the PC. If you forgot what value you specified to your PC (or using DHCP, where address may change) then look online for the "get pc ip address", for example, in the command prompt: "ipconfig" - will print Local Area Connection.
