Question / Help Automatically hiding sources

Hello,

I'm trying to stream/record a game where for which I will potentially have multiple instances.

I'm trying to set it up in a way that shows the current instances and hides the others (only client 1 and 3 open -> the source for client 2 should be invisible / black), however currently it shows part of another source instead of going blank, black or transparent.

TL;DR: Is there a way to auto-hide a source (window capture) if the configured window is not open?
 
Scene switcher plugin does that, though it requires scene switching.
 
So I narrowed the exact issue I'm having down a bit and due to lack of options I suppose this is now a feature request:

The automatically hiding/going blank mechanic works fine for windows with different windowClasses (going by variable name from Appdata/Roaming/OBS/scenes.xconfig), however if for multiple sources the windowClass is the same and only the window: variable is different ( so the window title) it won't properly hide and instead seemingly fall back to other windows of the same windowClass but with a different title.
So, my request would be for an "exact" mode for window title, where it will only show if there is a window of not only the appropriate windowClass but also with the appropriate title.

Thanks in advance.
 
+1 for that idea ,D an option to capture by window title would be great :)
(with autohotkey you could rename windows if necessary)
