Obs Media Input Actions

[enrik90h]

Hello,

On OBS 30
I want to pause, play, next, previous, a VLC playlist in OBS, and I don't know how to do it since it says DEPRECATED in the notes.

I tried this:
MediaInputActionTriggered
{"sceneName":"Scene1","inputName":"List1","mediaAction":OBS_WEBSOCKET_MEDIA_INPUT_ACTION_PAUSE}

And results:
"Error: Your request is missing the mediaAction field."

There are updates?

Hi, I've been trying to find answers to this question too. It seems it's actually not deprecated, according to this comment in a bug report from from 2022:

You may want to take a look at the freshly documented enum for OBSMediaInputAction (don't mind the deprecated warnings, it's not), because that OBS_WEBSOCKET_MEDIA_INPUT_ACTION_START doesn't exist. You have to use OBS_WEBSOCKET_MEDIA_INPUT_ACTION_RESTART after stopping a Media Input

Full context in the original thread:
#1046

The problem experienced by the bug reporter could be helpful to resolving @enrik90h's follow-up question.

I don't know if my answer will help anyone, but I have used this to replay a media source from an input source:

ws.call(requests.TriggerMediaInputAction(
    inputName='MediaSource',
    mediaAction='OBS_WEBSOCKET_MEDIA_INPUT_ACTION_RESTART'
    
))
