Really appreciate the help TheNumbLock
i gave up trying to get it to go through and just took over the stream and set up full deepbot control for my guys and setup an RTMP server.
little bit more of a pain in the rear trying to get stream start and stream stop commands to pass through obs websocket but eventually got it going and then setup some scenes for them. Now they can just stream to the RTMP server and i have OBS setup with scenes for each RTMP stream with chat commands to switch scenes to BRB screen, Stream Starting screen, Stream Ending screen, and then each of their specific streams that pull from the RTMP. Still working out some kinks with a little bit of freezing but i think its setup a little more stable this way for audible chat command and such as well.
it allows me to standardize each persons stream too.
