Anyone have any solutions for auto posting to #Mastodon when, for example, I go live on YouTube?
Currently working on a solution but it’s taking some time and I’m wondering if anyone else has attempted it. Haven’t had luck with things like IFTTT yet either.
@twop0intfive Well, a while back @revengeday wrote a little script that allows you to post from the command line. Perhaps you could install it and set it up, and then do some sort of 1-click automation or something that would post for you?
Here's the Totentanz article where xe posted it. And I did some modifications to it for zsh, in case you use that. It's further down in this thread. Dunno if it's quite what you're looking for, but it might be a start!
@SynAck@twop0intfive I have a wild quick and dirty idea if you use OBS. You can embed websites in your scenes, and one could create a script that automatically sends a post when a specific scene starts. :D
@revengeday@SynAck my current setup doesn’t utilize OBS unfortunately as I don’t have a gaming pc at this time; I’d mostly be streaming games to platforms like YouTube, twitch, perhaps even TikTok? direct from my console (PS5/XSS — or, in case of TikTok, via Win11 vm in azure, in which case I could utilize OBS). But this is good to have for the future, or perhaps my son (who Does have a gaming pc) could make use of it!
