Enhanced plugin version of my OBS Autostarter lua script​

Plugin for OBS Studio that automatically launches and quits programs alongside OBS. Perfect for streamers and content creators who need to start multiple applications when beginning their streaming or recording sessions.

Improvements over the old Lua Script​

• Prevents duplicate programm launches
• Faster startup and response times
• Modern UI with better usability

Usage​

1. Extract the autostarter.dll to your OBS plugins directory: e.g: C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit
2. Open OBS Studio
3. Go to Tools → Autostarter
4. Check Enable Autostarter
5. Create a new loadout or use the default one
6. Add your programs using the "Add" button
7. Configure launch options for each program
8. Save your settings

Configuration​

• Loadouts: Create multiple program groups for different scenarios
• Launch Options:
  • Minimize on start
  • Auto-close when OBS exits
  • Launch confirmation dialog
• Command Line / Shortcut: Start OBS with a specific loadout using:
  obs64.exe --autostarter "loadoutname"
  This will bypass the enabled state and launch dialog, always launching the specified loadout.
