Same problem here with Arch Linux with obs-cmd version 0.17.8 installed from AUR. I'm using sway as wayland compositor if this is important.

Hi, the current AUR version is 0.17.9. Does updating with a cleanbuild help at all?

Found the problem. obs-studio (30.2.1-1) on Arch Linux isn't build with obs-websocket. I had to manually compile obs, to use the websocket feature. After I launched the manually compiled obs (and configure the websocket server), obs-cmd started to work :)

Another option is using OBS from Flatpak, it has the support
