What distro, what language?

[Kcarp12]

I’m sorry, I don’t know where to post this…

I want to develop on OBS. I want to dynamically edit live scenes using a scripting language like Python.

My question is… what operating system is most stable/has the best support for scripting languages?

Is Python a suitable language or are there better ones? I’m not really a programmer so languages like C are too advanced for me.

Any help is much appreciated!

No need to apologize! For developing on OBS and dynamically editing live scenes, Python is a great choice and is well-supported for scripting in OBS.

Operating System: If you’re looking for stability and good scripting support, Windows is the most commonly used OS for OBS, with broad support for plugins and scripting. However, Linux is also a solid option if you're comfortable with it and it offers excellent performance for streaming. macOS is supported, but not as widely used in the OBS development community compared to Windows and Linux.

Python: Python is very suitable for OBS scripting and doesn’t require as much complexity as C or C++. OBS supports Python scripting via its OBS WebSocket plugin, which lets you control scenes and settings programmatically. tubidy

For simplicity and community support, I would recommend using Windows or Linux, sticking with Python, and using the OBS WebSocket plugin to get started. You can find many tutorials and resources to help you with Python scripting for OBS!
