This is a simple app built for OBS to use powershell to manually set Media Source files that are on the computer. It is specifically designed to give an option for the user to list hymns that will be played during a church service. The user can then enter the hymn number, then powershell will check to make sure that hymn is in the folder of hymns, and then it will program it into the media source of OBS. After that, it will also grab a video sermonette and sermon from a specefied folder into their respective Media Sources. Finally, it will put a fullscreen projector onto the second monitor. This has the use case of wanting to play the hymns video on a projector that may be in the hall, and needs the video on it.

The instructions for setup are as follows: You must have OBS v.28 or above for this to work OR OBS-WebSocket v.5 or above.

You need to have powershell 7 installed. [Install From Microsoft Here] (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.3.4/PowerShell-7.3.4-win-x64.msi)

It should be noted that this is requiring the format of the MP4 files to be in numerical value only, no other words or dashes or anything

The OBS Sources need to be formatted as follows: song1File song2File song3File song4File song5File

You must have the numeric version of the Hymnal MP4 files.

To set this up as an executable file do the following:

Step 1. Install the OBS Song Loader PS1 file and move it to a place you will remember in your files.

Step 2. On your desktop, right click and create a new shortcut and then copy and paste the following command into the "Location of the item" INCLUDING THE QUOTATION MARKS.

"C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\OBS.Song.Loader.ps1"

Step 3. You shouldn't have to change this at all if you put the PS1 file you downloaded earlier in the base C Drive. BUT if you put it somewhere else, replace the second filepath (between the second set of quotation marks) with where you have it saved.

Step 3a. You shouldn't have to do this either, but if for some reason you downloaded powershell 7 to a different spot, or if your main hard drive is something other than "C:", you will need to replace the first filepath (the first set of quotation marks) with the Powershell 7 "pwsh.exe" file. You should be able to follow and find it by following the filepath (i.e. Going to program files, then to Powershell, then to 7, then find the "pwsh.exe" file)
