Hello Bcoyle,

can i already use or try the software from you? I would like to start a 24/7 livestream on Twitch, where my Let's Play episodes that I have recorded in the past years are running. The problem is I need a program which then adjusts the title on Twitch to the played video.

For example, if the title of the video is "Let's Plays Risen 1 - Episode 17", then the title on Twitch should be adapted to it.

Is that possible? That would help me incredibly!


Many greetings!

Basicily, you want clip playout software that will take a folder of your videos (they are mp4 or (audio only) mp3?) and using the file name, put a overlay(s) in the video with this information and have obs send it to twitch? FYI: for your application , the file format would
[TITLE = Let's Plays Risen 1 - Episode 17].mp4 . with no commas in the name. Its a look alike for json. If you want to sort by episode or date, the format is [DATE=20230329,EP=s01E17,TITLE =Let's Plays Risen 1].mp4 or "[DATE-20230329,EP=E17,TITILE=Let's Plays Risen 1 - Episode 17]. EP stands for season and episode number . This is a form of meta data. You can create your own meta data KEY=xxxx and have them appear as obs overlays.
You need to be able to / know/use obs to stream to twitch or youtube before I would consider using you as a beta tester. I do need beta testers. Currently beta testing for a tv/radio station in the netherlands, which is going very well. So, i would need to see a running stream demo. In addition, i'd need a lot more contact info. My program is a windows only program. i don't know if there is some plugin that does this for you and might be simpler that my program, because you are setting up a tv station and there is a learning curve. if you are still interested, you can DM me. The program can do want you want.

Also Deutsch ist mir viel angenehmer, wenn das geht? :D
Ich streame als KnebelTV auf Twitch und würde gerne auf einem Zweit-Kanal einfach die Lets Play Folgen ablaufen lassen aus den vergangenen Jahren. Das Problem ist, das soll auf meinem Mac Mini laufen, der ist da sehr gut bzgl. Effiziens und co.

In sofern klingt das ja ganz gut, aber wenn es nur auf Windows läuft ist das problematisch. Ginge das nicht auch per OBS Plugin? Ich hab auch nicht ganz verstanden wie genau der Titel des MP4 Videos dann an Twitch gesendet wird, sodass dort der Titel geändert wird. Beziehungsweise was genau ich da machen muss?

SORRY IT'S WINDOWS ONLY. I have no plans on porting it to macs. I don't know if it will run in mac boot camp, i have no idea. OBS will run on macs, but not my program.

ok, sorry this wont work for you. I was thinking that you wanted to embed the videp file name into the video itself, whereas you appear to want to go into the twitch control panel, itself and change the name of the stream on the fly. This is quite different from what obs can do. anyway, good luck

you might want to ask yourself if that's really what you want? are you asking the right questions. Is there more available?

Hi - I checked you out and saw that you already had a daily stream for most of the day. What are you looking for?
Click to expand...
Yes, in fact I have a daily streaming with Advanced but sincerely I would have liked something more precise and simple because advanced cannot calculate the duration of the videos and therefore I would have to do it every time to calculate the duration and times. If there was a playlist automation plugin it would be much better. Thanks anyway for your interest

Yes, I have seen the previous posts. It would really be a great thing to be able to use it. Should we just wait? Can you tell me by when it will be ready? and will it have a price for the license? Thanks again for your work.

basicilly, i'm retired and have no intention of starting a business. I'm piggy backing on the folks that haver made OBS so great and feel that charging for thier work is wrong. . So, currently free of any charge or licence (other than a beta tester license/permission). Becasue, we are in beta test, there are some conditions, like no sharing unless you are one of my beta testers, i don't want copies floating around that maybe have bugs. Of course, you have to know OBS or at least learn it. I am looking for beta test cases for serious applications. If you are interested, please DM me so we can talk about it. It does work now but you must realize that it is beta. I have a beta tester in the netherlands that is running the first tv channel running my software. I wrote ll this during covid and kept on going to this point..

It seems from my look at your channel, that you have a bunch of odd length clips. casttor would take those and in a few seconds and do a months worth of progranning. It does look at the media run times

Thanks a lot for your work. Truly. And above all for your free dedication to helping people like me who only do it out of passion. If you want, I'm willing to try your software but I tell you that I'm not an expert on the subject (I'm not a computer technician), I could only tell you my impressions and maybe what wouldn't work or what could be more useful for me.

During covid I helped my church sreem religious services and slowly built myself professional equipment. I've always used obs which I know quite well. For about a month we have been broadcasting religious functions continuously from 6 in the morning to 22 in the evening. on the www.ilcenacolowebtv.it Having to program many videos and live streaming, a plugin that could create a playlist with video duration and automatically update the broadcast time based on the duration of the video would be useful. the function of being able to insert a url instead of the video would also be useful if perhaps I had to transmit in setreeming. As icing on the cake (they say in my part) the playlist should be able to be exported in an excel file with date, time, video or streeming title.

My program is not a plugin. It's an external program that talks to OBS. It's my opinion that there will never be a plugin that is a full 24/7 broadcast app. Way too complicated. Here is an example of the two type of EPG (tv guide) dumps available. One is excel cvs format and the other is text based report that is human readable and designed for upload to the youtube comment section. Of course, anywhere else that has a readable section
