Question / Help Switching to scene at set time

[basvcds]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up an automated stream playing a different scene containing a playlist at a certain time (each whole hour, eg 09:00, 10:00, 11:00 ect), is there a way to easily do this? I've been looking into the automated/advanced switcher plugins but they don't seem to work with a timed trigger. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Depending on how your coding skills are there is a lot you can do.
First of all there is the nativ OBS scripting function that you can use.
Otherwise the obs-websock plugin in a good starting point: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-websocket-remote-control-of-obs-studio-made-easy.466/
You can create batch files with https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/command-line-tool-for-obs-websocket-plugin-windows.615/ and then schedule them with the Windows Task Scheduler.
Or just write your own app that calls the websocket plugin.
What i also can recommend for something like that is https://nodered.org/

Advanced Scene Switcher supports this. It's called Sequences. You can create a series of scenes that cycle through at intervals.

I managed to get it to work exactly as I wanted with OBSwebsockets, OBScommand and the task scheduler. Thanks so much @lebaston100 !

Is there a way to accomplish this 'time' 'trigger' option with OBS on MAC? I am fmailiar with the advanced switch switcher and would like to trigger the first scene and last scene at a specific (time of the day).
