Free multi platform (windows,linux,mac) OBS IRL scene switcher tool (rtmp and srt)
its surprisingly easy to do. I will create a video guide for this as well as a blog article. A good start is to take https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop and set-up OBS + WebSockets in there. Then add my tool and you‘re all set for IRL streams.
