Configuration

On your Streaming PC

Choose either to run actions from the Websocket Server or the HTTP server

Websocket Server

Go to the tab Servers/clients > Websocket Server (it’s the first tab in Server/Clients, not the last one) and click Start Server. If you prefer, you can enable Auto Start so that it automatically starts when Streamer.bot opens

Some notes:

  • You’ll need to find the local IPv4 address of your streaming PC by using something like ipconfig in powershell or checking Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
  • In the following screenshots, 192.168.1.69 will be used as an example IP

On the PC you wish to run the action from

If you’re using the Streaming PC’s Websocket Server

  • Go to the tab Servers/Clients > Websocket Clients
  • Right-click the white space under Host and click Add
  • Choose a name that helps identify that this client is connecting to your Streaming PC’s Streamer.bot Websocket Server
  • Endpoint is whatever your Streaming PC’s IP address and port is in this format (remember to keep that final slash):
ws://192.168.1.69:8080/
  • If you prefer, you can enable Auto Connect on Startup and Reconnect on Disconnect

  • In the Run Remote Streamer.bot Action HTTP action, edit the Set Argument subactions for %remoteWebsocketConnection%
  • The Websocket Client list is zero-indexed, meaning that the first entry in the list has an ID of 0 (see above screenshot)
  • The imported action is set to 0 by default

If you’re using the Streaming PC’s HTTP Server

  • In the Run Remote Streamer.bot Action HTTP Example action, edit the Set Argument subactions for %ipAddress% and %port%

Running the action

  • Whether you choose Websocket or HTTP, feel free to trigger this action however you want
  • You will need to set the argument %targetAction% to run the target action on the remote PC
  • Any other arguments set will be passed on to the target action
  • Methods such as the HTML Decks or Stream Deck will have ways to add arguments in

Example

  • Included with the import code are some example actions for running via Websocket or HTTP server
  • The subactions of the example action are:
    • Set Argument subaction to set %targetAction% to the name of the remote action you wish to run
    • Run Action subaction to run Run Remote Streamer.bot Action

Updated with more robust code. Should still work with earlier versions of Streamer.bot.
