# OBS Source Switcher Plugin UI
A professional [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) web application for controlling multiple OBS [Source Switchers](https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-switcher.941/) with real-time WebSocket integration and modern glass morphism UI.
## Features
- **Multi-Screen Source Control**: Manage 7 different screen positions (large, left, right, and 4 corners)
- **Real-time OBS Integration**: WebSocket connection with live status monitoring
- **Team & Stream Management**: Organize streams by teams with full CRUD operations
- **Modern UI**: Glass morphism design with responsive layout
- **Professional Broadcasting**: Audio routing, scene management, and live status indicators
- **Dual Integration**: WebSocket API + text file monitoring for maximum compatibility
## Quick Start
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to access the control interface.
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
Create `.env.local` in the project root:
```env
# File storage directory (optional, defaults to ./files)
FILE_DIRECTORY=C:\\OBS\\source-switching
# OBS WebSocket settings (optional, these are defaults)
OBS_WEBSOCKET_HOST=127.0.0.1
OBS_WEBSOCKET_PORT=4455
OBS_WEBSOCKET_PASSWORD=your_password_here
# Security (IMPORTANT: Set in production)
API_KEY=your_secure_api_key_here
```
### Security Setup
**⚠️ IMPORTANT**: Set `API_KEY` in production to protect your OBS setup from unauthorized access.
Generate a secure API key:
```bash
# Generate a random 32-character key
openssl rand -hex 32
```
Without an API key, anyone on your network can control your OBS streams.
### OBS Source Switcher Setup
1. In OBS, configure Source Switcher properties
2. Enable "Current Source File" at the bottom
3. Point to one of the generated text files (e.g., `large.txt`, `left.txt`)
4. Set read interval to 1000ms
5. Sources will switch automatically when files change
### Database Setup
The project includes an empty template database for easy setup:
```bash
# Option 1: Use template database directly (development)
# Database will be created in ./files/sources.db
npm run create-sat-summer-2025-tables
# Option 2: Set up custom database location (recommended)
# 1. Copy the template database
cp files/sources.template.db /path/to/your/database/sources.db
# 2. Set environment variable in .env.local
echo "FILE_DIRECTORY=/path/to/your/database" >> .env.local
# 3. Create tables in your custom database
npm run create-sat-summer-2025-tables
```
**Template Database**: The repository includes `files/sources.template.db` with the proper schema but no data. Your local development database (`sources.db`) is automatically ignored by git to prevent committing personal data.
## Development Commands
```bash
npm run dev # Start development server
npm run build # Build for production
npm run start # Start production server
npm run lint # Run ESLint
npm run type-check # TypeScript validation
```
## Architecture
- **Frontend**: Next.js 15 with React 19 and TypeScript
- **Backend**: Next.js API routes with SQLite database
- **OBS Integration**: WebSocket connection + text file monitoring
- **Styling**: Custom CSS with glass morphism and Tailwind utilities
- **CI/CD**: Forgejo workflows with self-hosted runners
## API Endpoints
- `GET /api/streams` - List all streams
- `POST /api/addStream` - Create new stream and OBS source
- `POST /api/setActive` - Set active stream for screen position
- `GET /api/obsStatus` - Real-time OBS connection status
- `GET /api/teams` - Team management
See `CLAUDE.md` for detailed architecture documentation.
