How to change the url of a browser source?

[tomdevlive]

Can anyone help with changing the url of a Browser source in Mac terminal with obs-cli? I have tried all these but none work, I know I'm doing the format wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have tried with no luck:

SetSourceSettings={'sourceName':'Browser5','sourceSettings':{'url':'https://www.google.com'}}

SetSourceSettings,sourceName="Browser5",sourceSettings=url="https://www.google.com"

SetSourceSettings={'sourceName':'Browser Source','sourceSettings':{'url':'https://www.google.com'}}

SetSourceSettings,sourceName="Browser5",sourceSettings=url="https://www.yahoo.com"

Hi @tomdevlive,

Thanks for reaching out!

Are you using obs-cli from the command-line or from a REAPER script?

On the command line, something like the following may work (though I haven’t tested):

$ obs-cli "SetSourceSettings={ 'sourceName': 'Browser5', 'sourceSettings': { 'url': 'https://www.google.com' } }"

In a REAPER script, welcome to quote-escaping hell 😛 Check what I do in this script for reference.

In hindsight, passing JSON as command-line arguments like this was too confusing. In the next version of obs-cli we’ll revisit this decision (and introduce support for the upcoming OBS 28 with the new obs-websockets v5 protocol!).

Let me know how things end up working out for you!
