Simple scene switcher

Nope, there isn't at this moment, and it's not functionality this plugin will ever provide. What exactly is the reason you want this? It's quite possible that what you want to achieve can be done without switching scenes.
Related: I have been thinking of making some kind of plugin that does this among others, basically it would allow you to schedule tasks on fixed times or intervals. Those could be switching scenes, or well other things OBS lets plugins do.
But I am completely buried in stuff I still need to do for other projects for OBS and personally. And the time I currently have to spend on those projects is near zero, so don't expect this anytime soon from me. Someone else could of course always decide to pick up creating a plugin with similar functionality.

The idea came from having the scenes switch automatically on OBS while streaming gameplay. I'm occupied playing the game (Not SC2 by the way, so that plugin won't work) so I don't have time to switch through windows or click the scene myself.
The idea also comes from having sources, for example song playing or an overlay, switch automatically after a certain amount of time. But that idea is completely unrelated anyways.
If you or anyone else decides to create a plugin/tool for automatic scene switching i'll be looking forward to using it!

See, you don't want the game to change while you are playing a game. So for switching scenes to and from gameplay, you can use scene switcher.
For the other part, alternating overlays, you don't really need to switch scenes. As long as you don't have a too complicated mess of sources over it (I imagine you want to show about the same info throughout the game), you could use an image slideshow that changes the image periodically. Those images then show the overlay, and are transparent where the game should be shown.
For more customization, you might be able to utilize the browser source plugin to have content dynamically changing using javascript for example.
Just some ideas of how you might achieve a similar effect.

Hi, need a little help.
I am trying to use the scene switcher for League right now but every time the scene switches to the game, the screen is black. Funny thing is that I can still see the mouse cursor moving and making actions but everything else is black. Anyone encounter this problem? When I use game capture without the scene switcher, it works perfectly fine.

Scene switcher doesn't affect capturing. When you use it without scene switcher, are you sure it isn't secretly staying on your monitor capture scene, making it look like it switched because monitor capture also shows the game?
That, or your manual switching is correct, but scene switcher isn't configured properly, which means that it will not switch into the game scene. And if whatever you were capturing before disappears, that would also cause a black screen.

Good thing for lazy LoL streamers - changes scene, when they join the game!
Hey, im having a bit of trouble setting up the scene switcher, specifically with LoL. I don't really understand how im supposed to setup the switcher. When im in a game, I want it to switch from the PVP.net client to the game and when im out of the game, I want it to switch back to the PVP.net. Ive tried multiple ways of trying to set this up but I just can't seem to get it. Can anyone who got it working set up a tutorial of kind? It'd be much appreciated.

Man this LoL download and setup took me like an hour, but here is the video: (its like 5minutes)

First of all, thanks for the plugin!
I have one issue though, I don't know if this have been mentioned before but I will give it a shot:
I have currently 3 scenes (Idle, LoL Lobby, LoL Ingame) and everything works when its up and running. So far so good :)
The problem occurs when you want to edit one of the scenes.
As an example: When the plugin is activated and you want to edit LoL Ingame which is at the bottom of the scene list, as soon as you mark that scene, it jumps straight back to the Idle scene (which is at the top of the list). If you choose LoL Lobby same thing happens again.
Same thing happens if you create a new scene, it immediately jumps to the top of the list and doesn't let you edit it new one.
The only way to edit the scenes is turning of the plugin atm.
Is this a know issue or am I doing something wrong?

It's not really an issue, just the plugin doing its job :o
If it doesn't break your setup, try using "when no window title matches don't switch" option.
If not, well, I could make an option that the plugin never switches scenes when OBS window is active if that's really a problem.

Hmm, that would be a possibility, or maybe a bit more general, make a "no switch"option for every scene, just as a part of the list showing the possible scenes that may be switched to.
The hotkey I added was pretty much meant for this purpose though, being able to quickly disable it for some editing, and then enabling it back after, so if you have a spare key anywhere, you could bind the toggle hotkey and see if that works for you.

I just downloaded winrar to 'extract files in selected folder'. However, when I try to put them in 'plugings' or just in general OBS folder it says that access is denied. What am I doing wrong?

Could anybody help me?
Basically, I want 3 scenes: my Chrome Browser with tabs, League of Legends game client and League of Legends chat client. I have the scene switcher configured but not properly I guess. When I switch tabs in Chrome it will show a black screen after (I called the Window title to switch for 'Google Chrome', not sure if correct?). Also, I just tested and it doesn't seem to go from Chrome to my game client when I tab (as you can see here: http://www.twitch.tv/jhoodbossb/b/439744203). Finally, I tried to uncheck 'match exact name' but after click ok I got a crash. I tried to undo it but got a crash again. Here is one of the reports:
This crash appears to have occured in the '<unknown>' module.
Can anybody please help me out? I don't know why I can't get it to work.

edit: whenever I try to change something in the scene switcher plugin the OBS crashes. Also, when I go to the properties of my scenes they don't show source they are attached to (game client for example) but all show a tab in my chrome, first of the list. Is that normal?

This is very strange behaviour, for your second problem, scene switcher does not affect the sources. The first one, I'm not sure. It looks like something crashes when you press a hotkey.
I'll try to run some tests on this latest build, but I haven't changed anything for quite a long while. What you could do is go to %APPDATA%\OBS\pluginData, and delete the scenesw.ini file. This will reset your scene switcher settings, by the way, before you do that. Could you paste the current contents of that file in a reply here?
