Video source playing no matter which scene

[ConstantFlux]

I posted this (https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/video-source-playback.39012/) in the Mac support subforum, but I just realized this is happening on PC as well, so:
How do I add a video source that stops playing when I switch scenes, or rather starts playing, when I switch to a scene where the video is added as source?
The scenario is this:

- pre-Stream video scene running with video source
- switching to scene with intro video (video should start at its beginning)

And before going offline:
- scene X is running
- switching to scene with outro video (video should start at its beginning)

What actually happens is: as soon video sources are added, they are playing (endlessly if setup in the preferences of that source), switching to scenes that include those videos doesn't start the videos at their beginning, but wherever they are at that time. Videos that were set as 'one shot' are frozen when they have run for their duration.

Or am I missing a setting that has to be adjusted for this to work?

Ah that's a misdesign. I apologize for that. I'll see if I can fix it by next patch though if I don't I'll try to do it shortly there after if I'm able.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Oops, I should have made clear this is on OBS Multiplatform not on the 'normal' OBS client.

There is a way around this in the meantime, however dirty it may be.

Create a new Scene Collection for each video (Scene Collection -> New) and add one video to each. Each time you change collections to your Intro -> Outro they should start from the beginning each time. The caveat is that your sources for each collection get unloaded (as if they're not a Global Source ala OBS original) so transitions may not be smooth and assets will need to load.

Hey guys,

Jim, when you say fix, will the current way of running media sources still be available? (like we choose how it should play). Because I really need that feature... (always running media sources, but with specific audio for each scene)

Liquido yes, it'll be configurable in how it can be played and when it can be played.

Thanks that's a good idea! Will be using this until Jim has the time to fix.

Hey,
Just wondering if there's any update on this?
Setting up sources for a client and ran into this issue today

I was wondering about an update too.
This still happens with 12.3 on PC... didn't check the Mac version yet.
