Won't Stop Running The Video

[JWParenteau]

The plugin won't stop running the videos even if I change scenes or settings.

I followed the instructions here: https://youtu.be/6BsnSKxSAjY?si=mKZXrLmG7Xw_IHtP

This can't control how your OBS is setup. You should have it set so the source get unload when you change scenes. If you have the source on any scene your switching to it'll keep playing.

Thanks for linking that vidoe though. Didn't know it existed.

I do, I've tried all variations of the options. I'll reload it next week and see if it still does it for me. Thanks for getting back to me.

I wasnt at my computer when i replied so just to be clear, double check that at least the first checkbox is checked to shutdown the source when not visible

and make sure the source is not in the active scene

I can only guess is that you have it in the scene you're switching too causing it to keep running

Yup, I tested those first. I did a fresh run with the executable and it just won't stop playing the videos no matter what I do. I've tried turning off OBS administrator privileges (Which I need for hot keys, if I remember correctly?) Turned off studio mode. Moved the folder to my C drive.

One thing that I find strange, following the video, is that I put the file location in with "local file" turned on, then I have to turn it off for the videos to start playing; then they never stop.

Even with other scenes on both viewports in studio mode (BRB screen with html not visible) and starting OBS fresh, the scene will still start itself in the background.

Can you think of another browser based code I can test?

Thanks for the consideration.

You keep saying you followed the video. I cant help with something someone else told you to do. You need to follow whats in the readme.

Then make a new Scene Collection, make 2 scenes, one with your browser source and one without, dont use studio mode. Let me know what happens.

Followed the readme, now it won't run at all! Wasn't meant to be I guess. Must be something external. Thanks anyway.

Did another quick run and managed to get it running, I removed the space from the file folder location directory during debugging; smh.

So it turns out it's the "Multiview (Windowed)" which is always running other scenes. I need it to be certain that I'm on the right scene, too many times I'd be running the wrong scene, so I run it under my face cam. The OBS options only allow 4 (scenes only) and the min limit for including the active scene is 8 . My workaround is to use the "Windowed Projector (Preview)" which will only show me my active scene, which is fine.

Now that that's cleared, maybe someday I'll fork it, I want to make the scenes start at random locations, also be limited by the bottom right of the screen, so they don't clip. Busy with some social stream ninja stuff right now.

Thanks for creating it and being open to helping me get it to work.

P.S. I'll open a discussion next time instead of an issue, as mentioned in the readme. Excuse my oversight.
