Video Live Streaming for Free with OBS Open Broadcaster Software
I'm looking to live stream (video) segments of our service.
Can we have signal cues (like in the case of Midi for Lighting) that will trigger the following key commands in OBS Open Broadcaster Software (an open source live stream encoder) :
- Start Stream
- Stop Stream
- Transition
- Recall Scene X
Then we can run OBS in the background and have Proclaim trigger the start/end of a web stream with cues (in the same way we currently have audio recording) without the operator having to jump out of proclaim.

As T. Payton mentioned it is possible. On the Mac I use midiPipe to allow me to build a few AppleScripts capable of controlling OBS that are activated by Proclaim MIDI signals. Having direct control would be nice, though.

We already do this with Vmix in Windows 10 using Midi, using a Virtual Midi port app (https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/virtualmidi.html ). If you are on a Mac running OBS I'll be you could find a similar solution. Here is an option for having Midi control OBS. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/midikey2key-translates-midi-events-to-key-shortcuts.78103/
