Launch OBS Scripts

[gdhgdhgdh]

Hello!

I was amazed to find this project and hoped that I'd be able to launch Lua scripts by sending a MIDI message.

I use multiple copies of the transformer script to trigger on-screen animations and I'd love to be able to assign some of these to my Novation Launchpad Mini.

I looked through the actions but couldn't see anything relating to triggering OBS Scripts - is this something you'd consider adding to obs-midi ?

Cheers,
Gavin.

I also just found this library.
I also would like to have the ability to run OBS Scripts via MIDI Controller (currently using Stream Deck MIDI Button plugin, which controls virtual MIDI device).
I am using modified instant replay script, just for info =)

Hi @cpyarger I was wondered, you closed the issue, but became happy again to see, that issue was converted to discussion =)

A side node - I dig a little bit in the code yesterday. If I got it right, your code is inspired by obs-websockets plugin (or is probably even a fork). I am trying to add the functionality by myself. I wrote some code already (still some bugs), but I am struggling with build =\

I am on macOs, it breaks with fatal error, that jack/jack.h is not found (but I already installed this...) Anyway, gonna try solve this.

As I come from web-development, I am not really confident with C++, so I don't really know any gotchas (like memory leaks or similar), so I am using code you already have, copy-paste and adopt it.

Gonna send a PR, when I get something working

Alzy and i heavily pulled from obs-websocket at the start.

I still can't build on my local machine... I am building it in GitHub Actions for now, it works for me :D
And I also got the functionality - running hotkey function on MIDI input.

Here is small preview of what I did. There is new action called Trigger_Hotkey_By_Name. In the Hotkey dropdown all registered hotkeys in OBS are available, which are registered via obs_hotkey_register_frontend().

I am working on fixing bugs right now, and gonna try to optimize code a little bit. And probably will try to display a description names of hotkeys, instead of hotkey names

I made a PR, it works. #115
@gdhgdhgdh if you would like to test it out, here are builds for Windows and mac:

Linux build didn't run in GitHub Actions, because of this weird error:

E: The repository 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/xUbuntu_20.04  Release' no longer has a Release file.

Nice nice work 👍 - I actually got the Python + obs-websocket one working OK, and I use Linux so I'll have to figure out how to build this. I'll try to make some time for that tomorrow. Today is too busy, I'm afraid.

Hi again. Christopher made a good improvement to CI, so artifacts are also created on pull requests, so you are able to download prebuilt package here:
https://github.com/cpyarger/obs-midi/actions/runs/649653308

There is now also linux build, so you don't have to struggle with building

[cpyarger]

So far It looks good, I am asking around about getting those hotkeys translated. (: please also add a line in data/locale/en-us.ini for translating your new action name.

[cpyarger]

Fixed the CI, and added the translation string, You will need to delete your config now that the action name has changed.
