Expected Behavior

Set Stream Bitrate via alternative methods (not the UI)

Current Behavior

basic.ini is updated, not streamEncoder.json (and UI) is not.

Steps to Reproduce

      const setSimpleBitRate: OBSRequestTypes["SetProfileParameter"] = {
        parameterCategory: "SimpleOutput",
        parameterName: "VBitrate",
        parameterValue: "2500",
      };

      const setBitRate: OBSRequestTypes["SetProfileParameter"] = {
        parameterCategory: "AdvOut",
        parameterName: "FFVBitrate",
        parameterValue: "2500",
      };

I have not checked if other variables are effected but I cannot set the bitrate "externally" any more and this is unexpected.

(This might in fact need to be a feature request to expose streamencoder.json settings to read/write properly but I digress)

Anything else we should know?

I was surprised

In a new profile

Outputmode - advanced

• FFVBitrate under AdvOut don't exist when using the UI to set values any more
• streamencoder.json updates

but under outputmode simple

• VBitrate under SimpleOutput will if set to simple
• streamencoder.json does not

Start by reproducing the supplied SetProfileParameter websocket requests in an advanced-output profile, then compare basic.ini, streamencoder.json, and the UI state. Trace how AdvOut/FFVBitrate and SimpleOutput/VBitrate are handled. Done means external bitrate commands update the same setting and visible state as the UI, with coverage for both output modes.
