I found a lead on this, but am not as sure about the specific modification of platform exclusion in a way that is safe.

> To get the settings of the Oculus effect, you need to iterate through each of the plugin’s parameters. Try this bit of code: var selectedEvents = studio.window.browserSelection(); selectedEvents.forEach(function(event) { var effectChain = event.masterTrack.mixerGroup.effectChain; var effectChainEffects = effectChain.effects; effectChainEffects.forEach(function(eventEffect) { if(eventEffect.isOfType("PluginEffect")) { …

Using something like this, I can see what platform are excluded. It looks like this is not a pluginParameter though and changing it would mean changing several values? Ideally, I want to safely switch what platforms are excluded and not.

```auto
studio.menu.addMenuItem({
    name: "Disable Oculus Spatitalizers",
    execute: function() {
		var selectedEvents = studio.window.browserSelection();
		selectedEvents.forEach(function(event)
			{
				var effectChain = event.masterTrack.mixerGroup.effectChain;
				var effectChainEffects = effectChain.effects;
				effectChainEffects.forEach(function(eventEffect)
					{
						eventEffect.excludedPlatforms.forEach(function(excludedPlatforms) 
						{
							console.log(excludedPlatforms.dump());
						});
					});
			});
    },
});

```
