Reset and overwrite source setting values

This OBS-Script can reset and overwrite values of a source.

But I can edit the values in the source setting and save them? Why Do I need a script for that?

Thats right, but sometimes there are cases, where you need to reset the values and then set your values. Hence, OBS don't let you change default settings, you need to this on your own. This can be (or at least it was for me) really cumbersome.

Thus I coded this script, which can do this for me.

The Video freezes after pressing the reset button help?

No worries, you just have to click on the resource and open it and save it. Unfortunately I don't know (yet) how to restart the source so that this will not happen.

Getting started

1. clone or download the repo or python file
2. Go to Tools->Scripts
3. load script into obs via file selector
4. press the load script button
5. Press Print source settings to see the source values
   1. NOTE: you need to open the script log to see the values
6. write your JSON file which holds the value that needs to be updated / set using the printed values
7. select file that contains the values that will be used for the update
   1. NOTE: the values will be added to the source without checking if they are valid
8. press Reset source settings and update values
9. additional: add a hotkey to the reset function

Features

• reset the source
• update values, defined in json
• hotkey for reset function

Customize Behaviour using Flags

within the script there can be flags set like that:

FLAG	VALUES	DEFAULT	DESCRIPTION
FILTERCLASS	obs.SOURCE_VIDEO,obs.SOURCE_AUDIO or see obs output flags	obs.SOURCE_VIDEO	Filters the source name list (drop down list) for only audio or audio etc.
RESET	True,False	True	Determines if a reset should be done before updating the source settings

Additional Flags (more for development)

FLAG	VALUES	DEFAULT	DESCRIPTION
DEBUG	True,False	False	Shows debug logs for debugging
USE_OBS_LOGS	True,False	False	uses obs blog method for logging
