General Usage

• Open tally.piraten.live in a web browser (On a pc, laptop, tablet, smartphone)
• You can enter or change the ip to the address of your obs machine.
• Click on the "Connect to OBS" button
• If the connection to the obs machine was successful, a list of buttons will show up with all your inputs and sources from obs and two other buttons on top for "Stream Status" and "Recording Status"
• As soon as you click the "Connect to OBS" button, the connection data will be saved in your bowser if possible. If you then reload the page on the device it will auto-fill the IP field with the saved value so you don't have to re-enter it every time.
