Downloadable Resources

  • StreamDeck-Tools Template for Visual Studio (2019/2022) - Automatically creates a project with all the files needed to compile a plugin. This is the best way to start a new plugin!
  • Install.bat - Script that quickly uninstalls and reinstalls your plugin on the streamdeck (edit the batch file for more details). Put the install.bat file in your BIN folder (same folder that has Debug/Release sub-folders)
  • EasyPI - Additional library used to easily pass information from the PI (Property Inspector) to your plugin.
  • Profiles Downloadable empty profiles for the XL (32-key), Classic (15-key), Mini (6-key) and Mobile devices at https://barraider.com/profiles

Library Features

  • Encapsulates all the communicating with the Stream Deck, getting a plugin working on the Stream Deck only requires implementing the PluginBase class.
  • Sample plugin now included in this project on Github
  • Built-in integration with NLog. Use Logger.LogMessage() for logging.
  • Auto-populate user settings which were modified by the Property Inspector
  • Access the Global Settings from anywhere in your code
  • Simplified working with filenames from the Stream Deck SDK.
  • PluginActionId attribute let's you easily associate your code to a specific action defined in the manifest.json
  • Large set of helper functions to simplify creating images and sending them to the Stream Deck.
