OBS Studio connection problem

[snuth33]

Hi, I'm trying to connect to OBS Studio with obs-websocket-js but I can't. When I try, I get an OBS notification with a successful connection but after 2 seconds I get another notification for disconnection. I use :

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• Chrome

When I open the console in Chrome, I have two messages:

• WebSocket connection to 'ws://127.0.0.1:4444/' failed: createConnection @ obs-websocket-js.js:2828
• Uncaught (in promise) Error at OBSWebSocket.onClose (obs-websocket-js.js:3044:17)

My code (file main.js):
import OBSWebsocket from "obs-websocket-js";
const obs = new OBSWebsocket();
await obs.connect('ws://127.0.0.1:4444');
console.log('connected !!!');

Can you help me ?
Thank you !

My first guess would be check the port, in obs-websocket 5.0.0-beta1 the default port was changed to 4455

Ok might be due to lack of password when connecting (there's a default randomly generated password since v5), add a catch around connect and see if it's in the error message:

import OBSWebsocket from "obs-websocket-js";
const obs = new OBSWebsocket();
try {
  await obs.connect('ws://127.0.0.1:4455');
  console.log('connected !!!');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err, err.message)
}

The error message is:

Check the console with debug logs on:

localStorage.debug = '*'

(Then reload the page, and in dev tools make sure verbose logging is on)

I need to put this line in my code ?

can just paste into the console and then refresh the page
