Warm and I have been working on that already. It's not there yet, but it's coming. Stay tuned!

I think something similar to this should do what you want to achieve.
It assigns the content of a given file to a variable.

Thank you for the information. I actually found that in the general settings section, that 'if no actions performed for x seconds' was set to switch to a scene. I set this to do not switch and it fixed the initial issue. But I also discovered that ended is ended, and it was thus running each time. So, your solution makes sense and should work without issue.

im need simple change the title live before initiate, im use .bat to start and stop stream automate, via scheduletask , its work, but im need change one by one the titles and midia in youtube, hard job...
need comand to add .bat change title
or change title in open obs, im use (start /d "D:\youtube\obs mega1\bin\64bit" obs64.exe --portable --scene "a" --collection "1" --startstreaming --minimize-to-tray)
or obs script to change title schedule, from list titles ramdom
please sugestions thanks

Holy this plugin is crazy
New here. I have searched but couldn't find it, sorry if the question is already answered.
Using studio mode, what I would want OBS to do is switch the Preview to the "next in line" Scene after a media file has finished playback.
e.g. I have in my scene list from top to bottom: Scene0 blackout, Scene1 containing media1, Scene2 containing media2, Scene3 containing Media3. I begin with Program: blackout and Preview: Scene1. Now I press <Transition> and Scene1 becomes Program playing back Media1. Now as soon as Media1 is finished playing back (and becomes black due to "show nothing when playback ends" being ticked in Media1 properties), I want Scene2 to become the Preview. Then I press <Transition> and Media 2 starts playback, and when it's finished Scene3 is in the Preview, etc.etc.
Any way I can achieve this?
Using it for basic theatre playback btw.
TL;DR Is there a way to automate sequential playback of Scenes containing Media?
edit: syntax

I was going to suggest immediate playback, one after the other, so you wouldn't have to hit the button every time, but your mention of theater made it "click". I've done sound for some theatrical performances and seen behind the scenes of some others, and yeah, you can't automate the timing like that! What you asked for is exactly what you need.
It's not far off either, from what I do already for some of my rigs:
The idea there is to switch back to whatever camera it was on (previous scene) after anything is finished playing, without having to come in here and change the macro every time to look for a specific video. But you actually *want* a specific video, or rather, several of them with different actions for each:
Right-click and Duplicate this one for as many videos as you have, and edit accordingly. I kept the "Playing and almost done" logic, as I think it's easier to understand at a glance how it works, than "Ended" is. The "only on change" checkbox is less important for this one than it might be for others, but I just have it on everything anyway. It makes it run *once* when the condition becomes true, instead of *continuously* while the condition is true.
Thanks! It did exactly what I was looking for, this will help me optimize my twitch rewards even further!

What exactly are you referring to here with "title"?
Is this some text source inside of OBS or the title of your broadcast on the streaming website you are using?
In case of the former you can use the "Source" action to adjust the settings of a text source.
In case of the latter I am unfortunately not sure if that is doable with this plugin.

So I think I'm nearly there... I have a few dozen short videos, and when I go to the scene they're in, I want the 1st video to play - Then the next time I leave and return to the scene I want just the 2nd video to play, etc. I currently have a variable incrementing and being appended to another "prefix" variable, but when I go to enable a source called the variable, AdvSS warns that the obs UI cannot globally control sources, and it doesn't work.
Is this possible to set up? Also I see there's Macro Reset Counter, not sure what this means but maybe could help?

I think you are looking for the "Scene Item Visibility" action and not the "Source" action.

Ah, you nailed it of course! Thanks so much Warmup, works like a charm now!

Amazing Plugin!
2 Problems I am facing:
1. is it possible to define an ELSE statement ? I check an area for pattern, if match, source becomes visible. Now I want the source to be invisible if pattern does NOT match, but I dont see option for Else statement. Workaround is creating mirrored condition, but thats extra computing requirement :(
2. I see no color matching, only pattern. Now I could make a green pattern image, but isnt it easier to compute just checking for color ?

You could do this in a second macro:
You might be right on that one. There's average brightness, which is fairly easy to specify, but I don't see color either:
Having some experience myself behind the scenes of this sort of thing, average color is not all that hard to compute, but it *is* surprisingly hard to specify.
- Do you want a brightness calculation of a specific channel instead of overall?
- Do you want an exact color? That works for computer-generated things but not a camera. A camera would need a tolerance, so how do you specify that tolerance?
- What about different color spaces? RGB, HSV, YCrCb, etc. Each of them makes different things easy or hard.

it should work as easy as possible :) I think RGB is most common. And if putting a threshold, it should even trigger on different color spaces.
Actually it can work similar to the pattern match selecting a specific area, just with color and Threshold. It would make things easier and expecially less processing power requirement than comparing to a pattern I guess. Would love to see this being possible
By the way just pointing out a very high demanded scenario for this plugin: Streamers using a widescreen monitor often face the issue that UI Game elements are not on stream, if playing on Widescreen (21:9), but only streaming the 16:9 Format. (UI elements are on the most right/left)
Some games offer to move UI elments, some dont.
A way to do that is cutting the elment from the original 21:9 source and adding them to the streamend 16:9 source with a mask.
The Problem though is that if the Game changes to different screens, those mask will show nonsense :) So This plugin here can check for specific colors / patterns, and show/hide those added UI elements only, if they are being shown. Also one of the scenarios I am using it.

If you really understand how the color spaces work, you'll see that that's technically nonsense. Yes, it makes perfect sense to a layman, but good luck coding it!
For example, where you see "orange", a computer only sees numbers:
- RGB: Red = 100%, Green = 50%, Blue = 0%
- HSV: Hue = 30deg, Saturation = 100%, Value = 100%
- YCrCb: Luminance = 57%, Chrominance_Red = 27%, Chrominance_Blue = -31%
- If you've somehow encoded some other information in the RGB channel values because those are the most accessible for you or because our eyes see that directly, then of course you'll want to use that.
- If you're looking for a specific color in a scene, regardless of lighting, then HSV or something similar might be good. RGB is terrible for that.
- YCrCb is often used in broadcast because it provides the brightness directly and the color separate from that. Once that exists, the two sets of information can be encoded differently, to preserve the brightness more than the color. (this was even true in analog TV, to be backwards-compatible with black-and-white sets) OBS's default is NV12, which is a specific version of this. If you're detecting something related to the details of broadcast, then you'll probably want to use this one.
The different color spaces don't really matter as much for picking the color to start with, as the software can easily do that conversion. The trouble comes in specifying the tolerance. It's completely different, for just one example, to specify a color in a scene as range of Red, a range of Green, and a range of Blue, than it is to specify a range of Hue, and completely ignore the Saturation and Value.

I think as long as the thresshold can be changed, the colorspace of the user should not be so much of a problem, as he can change the thresshold according if it triggers the match or not, while debugging (match is blinking green in the rules page).

I will try to look into it. :)
