A small project to write a scene to a file. This file can be read by something like the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin for OBS.
If you find this useful, please donate to me :)

- Python3.6+
- pywin32 (Only if on Windows)
- Linux
- Windows
(macOS will probably never be supported because of the weird API for getting a window title.)
- Download the repo as zip.
- Run screen_daemon.py.
- Edit the now generated config file to your liking.
- Run screen_daemon.py ( for real this time ;) )
- Configure OBS to switch to the scene by reading the file. (You can use the Advanced Scene Switcher for this)
- Done!
The default config file screens.json is as follows:
{
"start_scene": "Coding",
"unknown_app_scene": "Privacy",
"delay_time": 300,
"window_class": {
"google-chrome": {
"strict_match": true,
"scene": "Research"
},
"jetbrains": {
"strict_match": false,
"scene": "Coding"
}
},
"window_name": {
"whatsapp": {
"strict_match": false,
"scene": "Privacy"
}
},
"desktop_name": {
"1": {
"strict_match": false,
"scene": "Privacy"
}
}
}start_scene (int): When you boot screen_daemon.py, it sets the scene to your default scene.
unknown_app_scene (str): If an app is not listed under window_class or window_name, it will default to this. Set to null if you don't want this auto-switch.
delay_time (int): The time between scanning the active window. Defaults to 300 ms.
window_class: List of window classes (WM_CLASS with xprop, executable name for Windows).
| - strict_match (bool): Strict matching means the window class / executable has to be EXACTLY the same. Off for checking close resemblance instead.
|
| - scene (str): The OBS scene name to switch to when this window_class becomes active.
window_name: Same as window class, but matches against window title.
desktop_name: Same as window class, but matches against workspace names.
