OBS stream control
obs_stream_controlBuilds an OBS control rig in TouchDesigner for starting/stopping streams and recordings, and switching scenes via OBS WebSocket v5.
Instructions
Create an OBS WebSocket v5 control rig in TouchDesigner: websocketDAT connection, Constant CHOP command channels for stream/record/scene actions, and a chopExecute DAT that dispatches op:6 request payloads such as StartStream, StopStream, ToggleStream, StartRecord, StopRecord, ToggleRecord, and SetCurrentProgramScene. tdmcp never accepts or stores OBS passwords; if OBS authentication is enabled, complete Identify authentication manually in the generated obs_dispatch DAT.
