start/stop obs from a command line

there is a github package called obs cli https://github.com/muesli/obs-cli/ that use the command line interface to manipulate the obs data such as stream title, start, stop, record and whatever but it didn't work under most recent versions. i am interesting in automating with shorcuts under my i3 desktop environment, since the default obs shortcuts are only working when the program are present on the screen, anyway i am interested in how much of this functionality are available in a recent obs versions without plugins, you seems to be able to start a stream, but not, for example to change a stream title or to stop it (altough pkill obs seems to work fine but probably technically wrong). pls help.

Is there a reason to not use plugins? Advanced Scene Switcher is probably just the ticket, if you can figure out how to get a message from the command line into it. WebSocket, perhaps?

obs-cli is abandoned. Use https://github.com/grigio/obs-cmd instead : )
