OBS Recording Toggle, based on obs-wayland-shortcuts, but using obs-cli and not obs-cli-leafac.

# This script is made for convenience. It is invoked by a logid gesture for MX Master mouse.

# It also works when invoked by a keyboard shortcut from your preferred Wayland compositor/desktop environment.

import subprocess

obs_cli = "/usr/bin/obs-cli"
obs_password = "<your password here>"

p2_result = subprocess.run([obs_cli, "--password", obs_password, "recording", "toggle"], capture_output=True).stdout

print(p2_result)

This didn't work for me on Manjaro. The obs_cli is outdated.

What Worked:

Enabled websocket on OBS
Instaled this lib using pipx: https://github.com/pschmitt/obs-cli
Added this command on my wayland custom shortcuts: obs-cli -p -P record toggle
(change the password and the port on the above command)
