Currently, OBS lacks a native API to close projectors programmatically, forcing script/workflow developers to rely on workarounds. Implementing obs_frontend_close_projector() would:
obs.frontend_close_projector(0) -- Closes all scene projectors
Why This Matters:
This small addition would unlock powerful scripting potential while maintaining OBS's lightweight core.
Would love feedback from devs!
Key Features:
Simple implementation (mirrors open_projector logic)
Backward-compatible
No performance overhead
- Enable Toggle Functionality
- Allow hotkeys/scripts to seamlessly open/close projectors (like a true toggle).
- Fixes the current "open-only" limitation.
- Streamline Automation
- Essential for Stream Decks, macros, and scene transitions where projectors need to close dynamically.
- Mirror Existing Design
- Complements obs_frontend_open_projector() for API consistency.
- Use Cases:
- Close preview projectors when switching scenes
- Reset multiview layouts without restarting OBS
- Memory management for long streaming sessions
