&scenerestore

Restores a guest's selected scene assignments after reconnecting

Director Option! (&director, &room)

Details

Add &scenerestore to the director URL to let the main director restore a guest's manual scene assignment after that guest disconnects and rejoins.

Example:

https://vdo.ninja/?director=ROOMNAME&scenerestore

This is useful when guests are manually assigned to scene outputs such as &scene=1, &scene=2, or &scene=3, and a guest drops because of a poor connection.

When enabled, the main director creates a temporary restore lease when a guest is placed into a scene. If that guest reconnects with the matching restore token while the lease is still active, the director can reapply the previous scene selection.

The lease auto-renews while the guest remains connected, so long-running sessions continue to be restorable. After a disconnect, or after the last scene action for that guest, the lease expires after 15 minutes. If the director hangs up, disconnects, or otherwise revokes the guest, the lease expires immediately.

&scenerestore is opt-in. It does not bypass room authentication, director approval, queue/hold modes, or the normal director trust checks.

This option is sometimes mistaken for &scenestore or "scene store". The current parameter name is &scenerestore. It is a reconnect helper for scene assignments, not a permanent cloud scene database.
