Setting it up on your OBS

Automatic scene switching also works with the OBS at your house: it switches on its own to your low-bitrate scene or your offline scene when your stream key’s feed sinks, even if you’re ten kilometres away with your phone in your hand.

You need: the Stream Key plan · the EnhancedIRL Switcher plugin linked in your OBS, with remote control turned on · the three scenes created in OBS

NOALBS, and it doesn’t run on your PC

This is NOALBS too, but you don’t install it. It runs on our side and drives your OBS through the plugin, with no WebSocket server and no OBS password, so nothing extra gets started on the machine at your house. → NOALBS on Enhanced IRL

Where you set it up

In My OBS: open your OBS and go to its Scene switching tab. That’s where you pick the stream key whose feed decides, your three scenes and the thresholds. The steps, one by one, are in Automatic scene switching on your OBS.

First, in the plugin, tick Allow remote control from EnhancedIRL (Tools → EnhancedIRL Switcher…): scene switching talks to your OBS over that same path, and without it it can’t switch anything. It comes off. → Control your OBS from My OBS

It starts on its own when your OBS is open with remote control on, and it only switches scenes while your OBS is streaming.

The difference with the Cloud OBS

There’s one, and it’s worth being clear about: on your OBS, chat is off.

	Cloud OBS	Your OBS
Switching on bitrate and RTT	Yes	Yes
Automatic return on recovery	Yes	Yes
Scenes	The ones the Cloud OBS ships with	Yours, read from your OBS
Chat commands for your mods	Yes	No
Automatic stop when you raid or host on Twitch	Yes	No
Retries before switching	Adjustable	No field

There’s no chat channel to pick and no moderator list, and no command typed in your chat is going to touch the OBS at your house. If you want your moderator to be able to give you a hand, give them a control widget: with that link they switch scenes by hand from the browser.

Had it set up with the dock?

If you set up scene switching with the old method (the dock inside OBS, from your stream key), it keeps working until the dock is retired, in a few weeks. To move to the plugin, set it up again in My OBS: your scenes and thresholds aren’t copied over on their own.

Next step

• Automatic scene switching on your OBS — the steps in My OBS.
• Recommended thresholds — what numbers to use depending on how much you stream at.
• Setting it up on a Cloud OBS — if you’ve also got a server of ours.
