Playout plugin

Hi everyone,

For years, I’ve been struggling to use OBS Studio as a full playout system for live events. I tried combining multiple existing plugins and scripts, but I was never completely satisfied with the control and workflow.
I know of the existence of CasperCG... but i dont like that and it was not the full picture.
So, I decided to build my own solution!

I designed this plugin specifically for live and semi-planned events where you have a script or rundown. The core idea is simple: add every media item to a structured playlist and run the event without worrying about switching programs manually.

Key Features​

  • Multi-Channel Playout: Configure between 1 and 4 independent playout channels.
  • Flexible Output Types: Support for DeckLink, NDI, RTMP Stream, and direct HDMI/Projector outputs.
  • Automated Rundown Workflow: When live, the system seamlessly follows the playlist sequence, expanding active groups and focusing on current playing items.

Supported Playlist Cue Types​

  • Media: Video and audio streams (local MP4, direct URLs, YouTube URLs).
  • Stills: Single image displays or sequential image playlists.
  • Songs & Subtitles: Custom song display layouts, dynamic lyric/subtitle styling.
  • Lower Thirds / People: Custom graphics for introducing speakers or guests.
  • OBS Scenes: Embed existing OBS scenes to pull in cameras, browser sources, or complex composite scenes.
  • Presentations: Direct import of PowerPoint presentations (requires MS PowerPoint) and PDF files.
  • Groups & Holds: Group items with expand/collapse capabilities, plus empty placeholder cues for manually timed events.
I believe this could be really useful for live event producers, churches, conference operators, and broadcasters using OBS.

What do you guys think of this concept?

For info i already have this plugin, so I dont need to get one.
I can make it public, but am still figuring out how to make things like YouTube and PowerPoint work legally, I believe it's already legal, but just to be sure... :)
