Configuration

OBS Configuration

Add the relevant OBS scene and sources to your OBS.

The scene that is defined in the actions is ShoutOuts. It is important to make sure that you add this scene and the sources defined below. You can then add this ShoutOuts scene to your normal scenes. That way you can have your shout outs in any scene you would normally be using. Of course, you can name it something else, you will just need to update the actions.

You can set the names however you like, just be sure to change them in the actions! One of the sources displays text (which will be the name of the streamer), so ensuring contrast against the media is good. The other is a media source, this will be difficult to position correctly immediately. I found the best way to deal with this, is to run a shoutout. This will make the media source take the necessary size. You can then position and resize it easily.

Streamer Bot Configuration

Change the actions global variables to suit your OBS configuration. The script will log a fair amount to your streamer bot logs, so you can see what steps the script is making.

Commands

Command Description
!so StreamerName Gets a clip for the last X days for the Streamer and delivers it to the Media Source.
!stop Stops any playing clip.
!watch Will play the last Twitch clip that was posted into the chat.

Additionally, all chat messages are checked for a twitch clip URL. If that happens, it is placed into the twitch watch URL variable for !watch.

The stop command only stops you from seeing it. The code is still running a timer in the background. This means that the queue will not empty until the clip duration has completely finished. This can result in a delay until the next clip is started.

Testing Phase Log

Version 1

  • Added the code

Version 1.0.1

  • Fixed the watch clips for larger streamers - It was getting all clips for the user, which was bad. It will now specifically get a single clip by slug. Thank you to pwnyy for the snippet in their own code that does the job.

Thank you for this! I like that it plays recent clips and you can adjust it if you like.
I would recommend showing the scenes in the “OBS Configuration” screenshot. Took me a few minutes to figure out I had to make a new scene and call it “ShoutOuts”

A good idea. Someone else was also caught out by the fact you need to add that scene to your other main scenes for it to work correctly. I’ll add that info too.

Hi, I’m having trouble setting this up. I feel like there is information missing in regards to what to put into the ShoutOut Scene sources, and how to get the streamer bot to talk with OBS for this shoutout. Is there any chance we can get a video tutorial? Thanks in advance!

Edit: My issue was user error. I didn’t connect OBS to Streamerbot, once that was done, the extension worked like a dream - of course making sure that there is a scene called ShoutOuts, a group called ShoutOutGroup, a text source called ShoutOutBroadcaster, and a media source called ShoutOutMedia, all with nothing inside it and left as-is.
