All the perks of scene switcher without all the extra scenes. This is literally the perfect solution.
I love this plugin but since I've updated to OBS 30.1.2 it no longer works correctly. It isn't looping through each video correctly.
Only discovered this now - what a time saver!
This is a wonderful plugin that enables OBS to do things professional broadcast switchers do! For example, I use Source Switcher to build an auxiliary projector output, such that I can switch the projector feed independently from the program (livestream) feed. I combine this with the "Main View Source" plugin to be able to route the program feed back into my auxiliary output, so during a show I can quickly and easily separate the projector feed or have it mirror the program feed via simple hotkeys. For me this plugin has been rock solid, and I highly recommend it for those looking to do advanced broadcast work with OBS.
Buggy, causes crashes quite often, and with some confusing UI but when it works it does exactly what I want.
I guess I'm more of an advanced user of this plugin. I use this plugin to have a rotator at the bottom of my stream between my live YouTube chat and live Rumble chat. I have the two set up as two separate animated scenes that the source switcher switches between. It was working great until the recent OBS update. Unfortunately for my other plugins to keep working, I had to update OBS. But unfortunately this plugin keeps causing the current version of OBS to crash when I switch scenes. For a less advanced user, this is a good plugin, but unfortunately I'm going to have to stop using it until an update is released.
Awesome plugin and does it's job good!
I would like to request an extra feature for Transition Type...
Transition Type -> Random
The plugin is fine, some things worked for me, not all of them were excellent, exeldro
This one, along with Move Transition and Downstream Keyer by the same developer, has has made my life a lot easier by letting me build all sorts of advanced lower-thirds elements (speaker info, social media accounts, logo etc.) and switch between them with ease right within OBS, without ever having to create video files for them.
Super useful for exactly what it says.
Incredibly easy to set up and start using.
Simple controls eliminate confusion.
Reliable way to cycle through a set of sources.

WISH: It would be fabulous if there was a way to make sure it started with a specific source when triggering from preview to program each time.
