When I start OBS, the last video played from the previous day always plays, even though I have not checked the "Play when source becomes active" checkbox. Even if you don't activate it, it's still playing in the background, so you always have to stop it yourself. Isn't this a glitch?
When I start OBS, videos start playing automatically.
- Thread starter OSAMU
- Start date
As a workaround, if you remove the check from "Local Files", the video will no longer play automatically. However, that would not be a fundamental solution.
I'm using Google Translate, but I don't think people understand my question.

Please, describe step-by-step what you doing, what you see and what you expect to see.
Also,
obsproject.com
Also,
Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...
OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

to close this question once and forever: use "instant-replay-clear-media-on-exit.lua" script instead of "instant-replay.lua", here it is (under the spoiler):
