Suggestion: Allow a shortcut to be made to start and stop the stream
I'd like to be able to use my streamdeck or bot to send a keypress to start and a different one to stop. Can you program in this functionality?
If you tell the plugin to start streaming to those platforms when you start broadcasting in OBS, then there's already a plugin to do this.
True... However, this doesn't solve my issue.
If I start streaming directly when OBS starts and stops, then the preshow I do (which has youtube videos in it) gets flagged by Youtube. What I'd like to do is to start my normal twitch streaming, then when my intro starts (1:40 of title music, then me live), I would like to automatically trigger YouTube streaming (or whatever else streaming).
Also when I end, because I don't sync it to OBS, I have to wait for the end credits to stop streaming to the other services instead of letting the bot handle it after the outro.
See the problem? :)
Yes, I understand your use case.
Stream deck can communicate with APIs, and that does feel a bit out of the design for this plugin. I imagine this could/would end up being a separate project or something. I'll bow out of the conversation and let the author answer. :)
It doesn't need to be an API. It just needs to be a shortcut that when a key is pressed, the streams with that shortcut listed start and when you press the other key, the streams with that key selected will stop. :) It's reading the keyboard, not APIs. :)
