Output Multi-Channel VU

[Zunth5]

Not very familiar with Midi (yet), but I am considering starting a project to create a Midi control device that also doubles as a VU meter for select audio channels in obs. Looking to see if this plugin can, or might be able to return 6-8 channel audio levels to the connected midi device at a configurable interval. Thank you in advance, and I apologize for my ignorance... also in advance.

Unfortunately this is currently not possible from an obs-websocket v4 side. But in obs-websocket v5 there will be an audio meter event. For now v4 is the only supported version, but if in the future v5 is beeing supported then i'm open to adding it.
Exactly which data format would you expect? Something like a simple CC with the volume mapped to the CC value?

From my basic understanding of midi I think that would be what I'm looking for. Then the end device would output that value per channel on an LED bar or something similar

Just as a general suggestion, if you are building something from scratch it might be worth talking directly to obs-websocket with something like an esp32 saving you the additional program that has to run.

Very much appreciated. Based on your previous I just started looking into obs-websocket to see how it works. I am much more familiar with FPGAs and the hardware side of things, so more or less still assessing whats already out there on the software side to connect into OBS.
