Auto Scene Switcher

Hi,

I am new to OBS. I am trying to get my Scenes to switch between each other automatically.

I can't seem to find any info on how to set up the Automatic Scene Switcher ? I am presuming this is what I need to do this ?


Thanks,

A.

Thanks. I will give that a go.

But it does beg the question of what the standard 'Automatic Scene Switcher' is for ...

You don't necessarily need the advanced scene switcher. That is really huge. For simple switching, the built in "automatic scene switcher" from the Tools menu is often sufficient.
In general, it works like this. In Tools->Automatic scene switcher, you create associations between Windows window titles and scenes. Then click the start button on that dialog.
As soon as the window title of any app on your PC becomes any of the defined window titles in the switcher, OBS automatically switches to the scene associated with that title. That's all. It's also possible to define a scene OBS will switch to if no title matches.

The configuration is a bit too intuitive. To create a new association, select the corresponding title from the left drop down list, then choose the intended scene from the right drop down list, then click on the big +.

You can also create partial matches. For example, if you want OBS switch to Notepad regardless of the document you might edit, you can remove the document name: change the default "filename.txt - Notepad" to "- Notepad", then press +. Now the scene switcher will switch to Notepad as soon as it is running with whatever document.

Thanks. That makes sense now.

I think I am going to have to give the Advanced Scene Switcher a go as what I am after is something along the lines of :

Start Recording
Display Scene 1 for 5 minutes
Display Scene 2 for 5 minutes
Display Scene 3 for 5 minutes
Return to Scene 1
etc

and to keep going until I tell is to Stop Recording

On OBS 27.x.x I hd Automatic Scene Switcher and it was working fine.
Now in OBS 28.x.x the replacement doesn't work as the old one. To me doesn't work at all.

This is lal what I have ... i have tno from a scene to another scene



I jsut got this ... which is far to be the scenes I have

up ??

For me, it's not clear what your issue is. Did you read my post above with an explanation how the scene switcher works?

With the OLD advanced scene switcher plugin..when you moused to another monitor..OBS would record any content on that monitor..not just a window title..and with no clicking required..the new 28.0.2 update broke that old goodness..any way to achieve the same with the NEW built in automatic scene switcher?? any new plug-in that does the same voodoo? Any links woul'd be much appreciated..or do we have to wait for a newer plug-in or a better workaround? Thaks in advance!!

The Automatic Scene Switcher, as @koala mentioned, is to associate a Windows application window with a scene. This allows OBS to automatically change your scene when you open/set focus to a Windows application. This can be useful if/when you have one scene for video games and another for a text editor (for example). OBS can automatically switch from your video game layout to your text editor layout when you switch applications.
