obs-websocket VS Restreamer

This started out of nowhere - and the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded the OBS Websocket Plugin, though I have it disabled.

I believe controlling a remote OBS instance can be done using the web socket plugin. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket

If you want to get really fancy, OBS websocket might be worth a look. You can then react to in-game events with some direct scene changes in OBS. There is basically no limit for your creativity.

The only tip I'd have would be for Wayland users who suffer from not having global shortcuts work with OBS: obs-cli with obs-websocket have you covered. Set a keyboard shortcut or Stream Deck button (using streamdeck-ui) to execute an obs-cli command and you're done.

In another topic it was also mentioned that there is a Legacy Websocket plugin to allow the original PCPanel software to still connect.

NDI is a video transport over network solution, NOT a remote control solution. If you want to change scene's over a network connection you'd want to look at something like obs-websockets - https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket OR something like Touch Portal - https://www.touch-portal.com/

Grab the OBS WebSocket 4.9.1 Compat plugin from GitHub. BarRaider's OBS tools doesn't support OBS 28's WebSocket version yet.

The original 4.9.1 doesn't work in OBS 28, which may be the issue. If you're on OBS 28.x and need websocket 4.x then make sure you're using 4.9.1-compat

You can use restreamer https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer

You should ideally be using a different machine for this to reduce network and possibly encode load, there are plenty of solutions for streaming to multiple endpoints you can self-host or put in the cloud. See for example: https://docs.datarhei.com/restreamer/

Depending on how you want to achieve this, you could use a combination of OBS + Restreamer or OBS + Project-Lightspeed. Another solution would be to use more specific solutions like neko

You could try posting an issue on ReStreamer's Github page and see if someone there has figured out how to make it work with Unifi-cam-proxy - https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer

Although if you know something about server then you could in theory use https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer, but only for Quest since let's encrypt certificates do not work with PC, I don't know why Quest supports them, but this version of Unity is simply too old, and doesn't support the current let's encrypt certs, unless you manually install them, which everyone on PC would have to do.

I did open a ticket, but no reply so far.

I have successfully redirected http to https with web apps before, but they were always run directly by either nginx or Apache. This particular app is Restreamer, which is run in a Docker container. I have Docker and the container running a GCP instance running Debian Bullseye. I don't understand how to redirect http to https with this. For example, I tried searching the actual Debian system for various strings in files, such as my.domain.com.key (the .key file that Letsencrypt created; I used the web app option to have https) thinking that the key file must be referenced somewhere, and that I may be able to redirect http to https within that file, whatever it is. I also tried searching within the docker container itself (ie, sudo docker exec -u 0 -it /bin/sh and then searching the filesystem within that). I tried other terms like listen or 8080 or 80 or VirtualHost, .htaccess, etc. I can't find anything that will allow me to redirect since I don't understand how the web app is run or what it is run with (if that makes sense).

I saw this on this sub a while ago.
