Yes, If there any screen elements or graphic that you can use to trigger the scene change, the you can use the "matches pattern" condition. For example, if the game has a "Game Over" graphic, you can setup a condition to look of the "Game Over" graphic.

Here is an example. I have the condition to only look for a specific area of the screen to make the lookup efficient.

Is there a way to get the current value to display for the "Get user input" of the "Variable" action? Right now the prompt that appears is a blank value.

You can do something like this to set the placeholder text to the current value of the variable:

Hello guys :)

Just a "basic" question, i wanted to play a specific sound when i show or hide a source, it works but the problems is that anytime i change to another scene it also plays the sound each time.

Do you have any idea what should i do to make it play only when i'm showing or hiding it, not when i switch scene please ?

Thanks for your suggestions !

How are you showing or hiding it?

Quite often, this type of problem can be solved by converting the thing you want to respond to, into an action that Adv. SS does. So instead of, for example:

• OBS itself: Hotkey -> Show/Hide
• Adv. SS: Detect Show/Hide -> Play Sound

you would do:

• Adv. SS: Hotkey -> Show/Hide and Play Sound

You could expand your conditions to include a "if current scene is ..." check.
So, something like this:

Hello!

I just installed the Plugin and have a question:

I want the plugin to switch the scene if there is a change in an specific area at the videoinput.

So if a dart hits a specific area (in this case the double 16 segment), it then should switch to a scene where the thrown dart is better to see (wider field of view / zoom).

I hope you guys know what I mean

Here is a picture for better understanding…

Thanks for any advice / idea to make this work

For over a year I've been wrestling with 2 IP cameras slowly losing time using rtsp on a 24/7 live stream. I've been having to manually reset the cameras every day to prevent them losing too much time. I just discovered this amazing plugin, set it up to refresh the source at regular intervals and now I no longer need to worry about losing time ! It’s brilliant. THANK YOU !!

I have the same problem with some remote PTZ's with direct SDI feeds, though not nearly to *that* extent! They're on 24/7, but only used for a few hours each week, and they might go a month or two before the different latency for each becomes noticeable. Rebooting them with the remote fixes it.

You make me wonder though, if they also have a network reset command, that I can send from Adv. SS. I'll have to look again. Thank you!

Use proper Video conditions, e.g. "has changed" or "contains object". It might be difficult to set up as darts could hit the fields with different angles, unless you only got professional shots that end up in more or less the same position. You could maybe track just the tip, but it'd still require lots of conditions, one per area.

I use a VLC Source for a playlist. Then the playlist is ended, it switched to another scene. I would like to put in a trailer every 2 or maybe 3 videos. it is possible to get the information form a vlc source? if not, would it possible in the future?

 

[AaronD]

...every 2 or maybe 3 videos....

My first thought is to use a variable to keep track of that count. Three macros:

1. Time for next video (however you detect that):
   • No actions, just this one condition
2. Macro #1 Condition AND Count != 0:
   • Play next video, AND
   • Decrement Count
3. Macro #1 Condition AND Count == 0:
   • Play trailer, AND
   • Set Count = 3

You could put the "Time for next video" condition in the other two, and save a macro, but this allows you to change it once (if/when it does need changed), and have both of the working macros follow that change.

Also note, that this relies on Adv. SS effectively auto-DJ'ing single videos. Not a playlist that runs itself. It may still be possible to interject something in the middle of a self-running playlist, but it gets to be a mess in a hurry if you have multiple sources of automation like that. They often end up fighting each other, or getting confused because one did something that the other didn't expect, etc.

I see Adv. SS as a programming language, and I'm pretty well convinced that it's Turing Complete, which means that it can do anything that any computing machine can do, including simulating any other machine perfectly (ignoring time and memory requirements). So if you're asking if something is *possible*, then the answer is always yes, given the proper access to things. It's just a matter of how...

I had a similar problem with the same solution of rebooting the cameras. Mine don't have a network reset command (despite having commands for basically everything else). What I did was put a smart outlet on the POE injector, and have a macro to toggle that outlet once a week. If I ever get around to putting in a proper POE network switch, I'll make sure it has the ability to control the power per port remotely in a similar way

Is there a way to create an action to toggle the status of a macro? Basically setting a Paused macro to Unpause and vice versa?

Macro action has a bunch macro related stuff to select, including (un)pausing. No toggle but you could tinker with else setup like this:

Although running such macro would also be cumbersome as it would require 2x Run macro action for actions and else actions when condition matches.I could maybe add Toggle macro action whenever I have time, but who knows when that'll be.

• Is it possible to utilize a variable in the X and Y fields for the Cursor "is in region" function of a macro?
• Is it possible to make a "HTML" style button for hover and click, but on an object instead of using the Cursor "is in region" function?

BACKGROUND
I have "badges" on my OBS gui, that are activated with a hotkey.... that look like this:

And when one is triggered by the hotkey, it appears as if hovered and clicked by the mouse:

I have been successful in creating macros that behave as I want them to, using the Cursor function in some macros, but it is limited to hard-coding the X-Y values for the region that makes the hover or click work.

And, I have multiple monitors I might want to place the OBS gui screen on, and I also want to be able to support users that have completely different screen setups.

In a nutshell, I'd like to able to specify which screen is the one used for the OBS gui, and then have the Cursor "in this region" X-Y values be set by whatever "values" that screen reflects -- as in, if the screen is to the right vs. the left of the "primary" screen that OBS is actually recording.

Any thoughts or ideas?

 

[Destroy666]

Press the kebab icon (triple vertical dot) next to the fields. That turns them into variable selection.

Not sure what the rest means. Are those "badges" added by another plugin? Checking their screen position is definitely not the most reliable solution, yeah. Not only because of screens but the OBS window can also be resized.

Thank you for the reply,

The “badges” are just what I called the graphic elements, since they are not actual working “buttons”.

I did have an idea that I am working out… that is to utilize the Windows “primary” display for the OBS gui instead of as the display to “capture” for recordings — that way the X and Y values would always have 0,0 in the upper left of the screen for thr gui.

Then, I am using Autohotkey to force the gui to the 0,0 location, and to be maximized as well… this will be part of a macro I already use “on launch” of OBS, and also a macro I use to “reset the gui” when needed.
