Thanks Danny for the kind commentI personally think this will work great for Broadcasters with a very limited budget.
Can't wait for version 1.0 it looks very promising.
Please PM me with details.Thanks for reply, would be great to test it with our tv channels and good luck with the development!
Would love to see a video of your app in action or a url of your working station.dot com - big IT firm

has nothing to do with 'faith' - hit a nail with a rock hard enough for long enough you'll eventually get somewhere....So little faith
I'd rather not, and instead focus more at helping someone excel at using things even better for the purposes they are designed for, whether that be a software switcher like obs, or any of the many existing playout systems for 24/7 station management. It so happens these forums are for the former, not the latter.You should encourage people to use obs in new ways.
I don't think anyone is disputing that? Another reason to use systems built for those tasks - more time executing instead of building.A full blown 24/7 does take a lot of work to create.
That's excellent, congrats!I'm running beta testing on my app and it's pretty stable.
not sure why you threw compositing in caps and quotes here?It's been running and "COMPOSITING"
I at no point ever said I wasn't interested in 24/7 and that no one was...You may not be interested in 24/7 but there are people that are,
again, that's why I've said time and again 'right tool, right job' - there are existing playout / management systems who's focus is literally 24x7 station management to create a one-man band scenario. Their sole focus and development is on that goal, not being a software video switcher being retooled for a use case it wasn't initially designed around.especially if the app reduces station management to one man instead of a crew.
I've shared those recommendations many times before. The 'value' has been added. It's far more valuable to speak to / assist with / make recommendations on the product this forum is devoted to and the use cases it's primary usage and development focus is centered on.I suggest that since you have used some of these software products, that it would be of great value that you tell us your experiences and recommendations. That would add value to the obs community.

As I said previously in the post you were quoting from, I was literally just surprised people are trying to square-peg-into-a-round-hole this solution still after 4 years of this thread (that started from people not knowing what playout systems and schedulers are or that they existed and looking for that solve), rather than use the many that have existed for years and kept everything from decent sized stations all the way down to no-budget free ones going for many years, and I wish those still trying to hammer away at this all the best.
Incredibly weird assumptions after I've now wished you luck twice in addition to very clearly stating in my last post that the old one was purely stating surprise that people were still trying to reinvent the wheel, nothing more. Maybe third time is the charm, but I wish you luck on your project...I also get the feeling you would like this thread to disappear.
... as well as your other extracurricular activities.I've looked at your other posts

Hi Gary, tell me a little more about yourself and what you are trying to do. Also how much and what kind of content do you have. it takes a lot of content to fill up a 24/7 channel? youtube, twitch,facebook? Just music, not music video?I’m trying to establish a 24/7 broadcast of my music and other content. It isn’t critical for it to be up 24/7 just yet as I’m not promoting it yet. If you need someone to alpha or beta test, I’d be happy to oblige.
The content will be repetitive. It’s intended to just be the good old-fashioned “broadcast” concept rather than “on-demand” because lots of people still gravitate towards that. I intend to be doing regular podcasts and interviews in the near future. But, while the machine isn’t being used for podcasts, I want OBS to run a continuous livestream of my music compositions and related documentary content. Once a day I would switch parts of the programming out… one song for another, one documentary for another.Hi Gary, tell me a little more about yourself and what you are trying to do.

1. right now I am using the multiple stream plugin to broadcast to services like rumble and youtube. I will end up using restream.io later.@Gary0318
Let me understand this:
1. You have a server (in the cloud?) similar to restream to send to youtube and also anyone else that has the server rtmp url?
2 You have a local machine (this is WINDOWS ONLYy) .
3. You will have a running obs able to stream to your server.
4. you have some other app for your podcast . not using obs and deckllink. or you want to use obs for the podcasts.
5. you want my app to be able to schedule obs for different programs at scheduled times. (half hour bounties for example)
6. you want obs to stop streaming at certain times? automatically or with your finger on the stream on-off button
7. you want to schedule on fixed times , like hogans hero at 9pm. and 9:30
8. if your content is shorter than the timeslot, do you want to fill in the extra time with content.
9. Are you doing PSAs or Ads?
Mostly the question is, when you want to do a podcast, what do you want my program to do when you go live?
here is my current TEST 24/7 broadcast
DCCATV - DOUGLAS COUNTY PUBLIC ACCESS TV

yes the link was for you to see the stream in action. My app (it's called Cast-tor) is not designed to pause, stop yes but not pause. You can stop the schedule but when restarted must restart from the beginning to get the timing down right. You can have obs send to a NDi link over to your copy of yourtube and then you can do anything you want. You can schedule lets say at 9pm to stop streaming for 30 minutes and then turn on again. You could use decklink during that time to do your thing. Or you could stop the scheduler, do your thing for 40 minutes, then put the scheduler in the run this for me now mode and when near the hour mark schedule it back to full station run mode. I suppose in the future i could add a "don't SEND COMMANDS MODE FOR LIVE PODCASTs mode. It would continue to think it was sending but wasn't. Have to think about it, it's more hybrid in it's mode. But would add more capibility to live programing. Casttor could do everything else you mentioned, no problem.1. right now I am using the multiple stream plugin to broadcast to services like rumble and youtube. I will end up using restream.io later.
2. My local machine running obs 64bit is windows 10.
3. yes
4. I will use obs for the podcast.
5. correct
6. when I do the podcasts I can manually stop the schedule. No need to automate for that.
7. correct. But. it won't always fall on half hour or hour mark. It can vary.
8. It would be enough to fill the extra time with a 60 second looped video, or image.
9. It will be PSAs. I won't likely have advertising unless I get quite popular. LOL
I would like to be able to hit a button to disable the scheule when I do a podcast. When I finish the podcast, I would hit the button to start the scheduler back up. I think maybe the easiest thing to do here, is have the scheduled material on one particular scene in obs, so that the scheduler could actially continue to update that scene, even if during the podcast, I am on other scenes. Perhaps, the idea of "disabling the scheduler" would just mean disabling the scheduler's auto-switch to that scene. Once I reenable the scheduler, the scheduler would just auto-switch to its designated scene,. I don't know what you have programmed so far... this is just how I visualize it. But, at it's simplest, I would just need to be able to do my podcast live and then turn the scheduler back on.
I'm not sure if you intended that youtube link for me.
