News StreamPi: The Raspberry Pi Stream Deck App for Online Gamers

I am curious if the stream decks, e.g., for OBS Studio, are simply generating keyboard key strokes, or if they talk directly to the end broadcast app? The RPi stream deck would be much more valuable if it could control streaming/recording without using actual key bindings."CROSS_COMPILE=..."

Its not just keybindings.

It actually talks to the OBS Application directly with the help of the "OBS Suite Plugin" which comes prebundled with the Stream-Pi Server.

TL;DW : The Stream-Pi Platform offers an "Action API", which users can leverage to write their own plugins in java, and then build jars, put these jars in the plugin folder of the server, and use them.

For example, here is the OBS Suite plugin source : https://github.com/stream-pi/essentialactions/tree/master/obssuite
