This is a small collection of Lua scripts for automating certain tasks and extending the functionality in the video/audio stream mixing software OBS Studio.
The individual scripts are:
-
auto-execute-commands.lua:
Automatically execute commands when OBS Studio starts up and/or shuts down. This is usually used for initializing cameras or performing similar external start/stop tasks. -
clone-template-scene.lua:
Clone an entire source scene (template), by creating a target scene (clone) and copying all corresponding sources, including their filters, transforms, etc. This is usually used for creating scenes, based on the same set of template scenes, during event preparation. -
keyboard-event-filter.lua:
Define a Keyboard Event filter for sources. This is intended to map OBS Studio global hotkeys onto keyboard events for Browser Source sources. This is usually used to map global hotkeys (or even attached StreamDeck keys) onto keystrokes for Browser Source based Head-Up-Display (HUD), Lower Thirds or Banner widgets during event production. -
production-information.lua:
Updates Text/GDI+ sources with the current Preview and Program scene information, the current wallclock time and the current on-air duration time in order to broadcast this information during production to the involved people. This is usually used for broadcasting central information during event production. -
refresh-browser-sources.lua:
Refresh all Browser Source sources. This is usally used to refresh Browser Source based Head-Up-Display (HUD), Lower Thirds or Banner widgets during event preparation. -
source-one-of-many.lua:
Toggle between one of many sources visible in a scene/group. If a source is made visible in a scene/group, all other sources are automatically made non-visible. The currently already visible source is made visible immediately again, if it is accidentally requested to be made non-visible. So, at each time, only one source is visible within the scene/group. This is usually used for switching between multiple cameras within a dedicated scene/group of cameras.
