# OBS WebSocket v5 Implementation Status for obs-cmd
2+
3+
## Executive Summary
4+
5+
**Overall Implementation Coverage: ~65% of OBS WebSocket v5 specification**
6+
7+
The obs-cmd tool provides excellent coverage of core OBS functionality with particular strength in scene management, outputs, and UI features. The modular architecture using Rust and the obws library provides a solid foundation for future development.

## Architecture Assessment
133+
134+
### **Strengths:**
135+
1. **Modular Architecture:** Clean separation of concerns with trait-based handlers
136+
2. **Error Handling:** Comprehensive error types using thiserror
137+
3. **Connection Management:** Robust retry logic and health checks
138+
4. **CLI Design:** Intuitive subcommand structure with clap derive macros
139+
5. **Advanced Features:** Studio mode, scene item transforms, recording chapters
140+
6. **Output Coverage:** Complete streaming, recording, virtual camera, replay buffer
141+
142+
### **Areas for Development Priority:**
143+
1. **Input Management** (Critical) - Complete input CRUD operations, settings management, and property access
144+
2. **Filter Management** (High) - Full filter lifecycle: create, remove, configure, reorder
145+
3. **Transition System** (Medium) - Dedicated transition configuration and control
146+
4. **Media Control** (Medium) - Complete seeking and position control
147+
5. **Stream Features** (Low) - Caption support and advanced streaming features
148+
149+

150+
151+
## Recommendations
152+
153+
### **Immediate Development Focus:**
154+
1. **Complete Input Management Module** - Implement full CRUD operations for sources/inputs
155+
2. **Expand Filter System** - Add comprehensive filter management
156+
3. **Dedicated Transition Control** - Implement missing transition-specific requests
157+
4. **Enhanced Media Control** - Add cursor offset functionality
158+
5. **Advanced Recording Features** - Implement manual file splitting
159+
6. **Stream Caption Support** - Add SendStreamCaption request
160+
161+
### **Technical Improvements:**
162+
1. **Add Comprehensive Tests** - Unit tests for all handler modules
163+
2. **Documentation Updates** - Update AGENTS.md with architectural decisions
164+
3. **Error Recovery** - Implement retry logic for failed requests
165+
4. **Batch Operations** - Support for WebSocket request batching
166+
5. **Event Subscription** - Allow configurable event subscriptions
167+

## Summary
171+
172+
obs-cmd provides a solid foundation for OBS automation with excellent coverage of core functionality. The modular Rust architecture handles complex operations well, with particular strengths in scene management and output control. The primary limitation is the incomplete input management system, which represents the largest gap in the current implementation.
