obs_scheduler

a simple webserver for scheduling obs broadcasts from m3u8 playlists

this app uses pythons flask to server a web interface for scheduling obs broadcasts using websockets.

you can set a start_time, end_time and path to playlist file - then provided obs is running and websockets are enabled at start time obs will load the playlist and start streaming it (on a loop) until the given end time

a program times list is also generated with starting times of each video in the playlist

NOTE: This project was quickly put together to explore diy automated broadcasting for subcarrier.tv - it is shared only to inspire / encourage others
