Question / Help Video Playback after scene switching

[Vecet]

On the OBS i used to have a transparent video (.mov) that i used for video transition between scenes, since everytime i reloaded a scene the video would automatically play again.

The problem with OBS-MP is that once i load a video on a scene he will play once then will only play again if i manually click on hide/show again and not if i just change between scenes.

There is anyway i solve this? And set a video to play everytime i change to that scene? Be aware that i'm not talking about a loop playback.

This is a common issue caused by the fact that all sources are global in OBS MP. While this has good effects in many cases, it breaks this kind of video-transition thing. I expect they'll re-introduce this functionality eventually, but until then this cannot be done in OBS MP. You can use OBS classic if you absolutely need it, or try to find a workaround.

Well if anyone have a solution for this would be awesome, because i really like OBS-MP and dont plan going back, but i neither dont want to reduce my quality of transmission and user experience =\

The best thing I can think of is find something that plays back your video in a window (like some video player that's easy to record) and supports hotkeys for playback, then include that in OBS and set the same hotkey for switching a scene and starting the video in the video player (or use seperate hotkeys you press at the same time).

Tl;dr: Play your video in another window besides OBS, the record that with OBS:

That would not work for me since i use a lot of transitions, still need to figure out a way to do this

This is quite an old thread but i just stumbled over it. So for future people having this question:
If you use one source for all scenes, then the source is already in use when you switch the scene and therefore video will not be played.
You have to add an extra source to every scene.

1. Add "media" source to the scene you want to use the video transition on
2. create a NEW source (even the source already exists from anotehr scene)
3. Set the path, untick "loop", tick "hide source when playback ends"
4. I tick "close file when inactive", not sure if needed
5. OK

I've solved this question with exporting my Adobe After effects file as AVI with RGB+Alpha instead of .mov with PNG codec.
Now it works even though the file is 400 MB now instead of 4 MB.
