StreamLabs OBS NamedPipe Toggle Recording

[JRSmile]

Hi,

just for reference.

you can control the streamlabs OBS client via Named Pipes like so:

 

Local $sMessage = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0","id": 1,"method": "toggleRecording","params": {"resource": "StreamingService","args": []}}'
                        $handle = FileOpen("\\.\pipe\slobs", 2)
                        FileWriteLine($handle, $sMessage)
                        FileClose($handle)

 

the api can be found here: https://stream-labs.github.io/streamlabs-obs-api-docs/docs/index.html

API reference
Streamlabs-OBS allows remote management of the application via an RPC-based API. The API is split into several different services. You can access services' methods and properties by sending JSON-RPC messages to the named pipe slobs.

Individual JSON-RPC requests should be separated by a single newline character LF ( ASCII code 10). You should ensure that your JSON message does not contain any newline characters. Use \n as replacement for new lines in JSON.

so "FileWriteLine($handle, $sMessage)" would send the #13#10 , ..... is that OK ?

Always wondered how Named Pipes work internally, but now I know; it involves a secret cabal of

as long as you keep the json request a one liner i had no problems.
