Amazing work!

Any particular reason you're writing the changes manually to ~/.config/streamcontroller/github_plugin_settings.json" instead of set_settings and get_settings from the PluginBase?

The set_settings and get_settings functions currently update settings on a per-button basis. Since users will have 6–7 buttons, I’d like to avoid requiring them to enter their API credentials multiple times.

Is there a better way to share or synchronize the settings across multiple buttons?

You can use the methods of the plugin manager. For an example you can checkout: https://github.com/StreamController/OBSPlugin/blob/bd2cfc343ed55f53612d9ccc83f0a8fbe91e779a/OBSActionBase.py#L58-L61

Thanks, i'll try this method and push the change since my method is insecure.

👍 Just ping me when you're ready.

@Core447 , I updated the code to use plugin-level settings. When I have two buttons, updating the settings on one does update the other — but it doesn’t trigger an API refresh on the second button. I have to navigate away and back for it to reload.
Is there a way to programmatically force a page reload on the Stream Deck or force the other buttons to re-run their on_ready() functions?

There is, but it's not really nice to trigger a reload.

I would suggest to just check the settings periodically through on_tick. Alternatively, you could keep a list of all actions of your plugin in the plugin_base object and call a refresh method on all of them.

@Core447, Thank you — on_tick was exactly what I needed. I've pushed the changes and updated Plugins.json. It's working great on my end, but feel free to review and let me know if anything needs adjustment.

Side note: Would it be possible to add on_tick to the Plugin Development guide? Could be helpful for others getting started.

It's under ActionBase: https://streamcontroller.core447.com/streamcontroller/docs/latest/plugin_dev/bases/ActionBase_py/?h=on_tick#on_tick

But yeah, it's easy to miss
