Shell script to use with leafac/obs-cli for toggeling visiblity of a single or a group of items. Needs jq for parsing json.

toggleVisibility.sh

#!/bin/bash
OBSWSPW=obs-studio
GETPROPERTIES=()
for JSON in "$@"; do
	GETPROPERTIES+=("GetSceneItemProperties=${JSON}")
done

# read all given properties, extract visible element, save into array
VISIBILITY=( $(obs-cli-linux -p "$OBSWSPW" "${GETPROPERTIES[@]}" | jq ".[].visible") )

#toggle visibility for each entry
IDX=0
for ITEM in "${VISIBILITY[@]}"; do
	case "$ITEM" in
	true)
		VISIBILITY[$IDX]=false
		;;

	false)
		VISIBILITY[$IDX]=true
		;;
	esac
	(( IDX++ ))
done

IDX=0
for JSON in "$@"; do
	NEWJSON=$(echo ${JSON} | jq ". |= . + {"visible": "${VISIBILITY[$IDX]}"}")
	SETPROPERTIES+=("SetSceneItemProperties=${NEWJSON}")
	(( IDX++ ))
done

obs-cli-linux -p "$OBSWSPW" "${SETPROPERTIES[@]}"
