You can use a setup like this to test the value range:
Just note that if you spam the OBS log too much it might stop working.
If that should happen for you write to a file instead to see the value range.
You can already do something similar by enabling the option to register a dock for a given macro.
Unfortunately, I think supporting HTML rendering / Javascript within Advanced Scene switcher might not be a trivial task.
You could do something similar to this:

A picture is worth 1000 words. These are both things that I just always wanted and stupidly never asked. Thank you!!!

Need some direction here -- Is it possible to queue video media sources to play in sequence after the last is complete? The sources are layered on top of each other so the previous layer would also need to hide itself so the next would be displayed.
Any documentation i can reference would be great.

I assume something like this might work:
Alternatively you could set up multiple macros like this to achieve a similar effect:
Which approach is better depends on your setup.
I would assume that the media sources become transparent after their playback ended.
If they are not you can use this action type to hide scene items:
Hope that helps!

This is indeed, super helpful. Quick Q: In the option with multiple macros, how would you configure the macros to run in sequence one after another? Can i use this for automatic scene transitions?

Assuming you have media sources A, B and C and want them to play in sequence, the first macro checks if the media source A is about to finish playing and starts playing Media source B.
A second macro would check if Media source B is about to end starts Media source C if that is the case.
And you can of course do the same for scene transitions if that is required.

The docking of scripts as a button you explained above is exactly what I've been looking for. I noticed that if I setup the docks on the OBS desktop, but change to a different scene collection and come back, the docks have disappeared, and I have to select them again from the docks list and lay them out again. I've tried on a couple of different OBS instances on some different windows systems with same behavior. Not a show stopper, just wondering if this is known behavior or not?

This is known, but there is not much I can do about it as far as I remember.
OBS will only restore the positions of docks at startup and not when changing scene collections.
This is to be expected as I don’t think there is a scene collection specific dock anywhere in OBS.
But I will check if the behavior on OBS side has changed since the last time I looked at this issue when I find the time.

Do you have any idiot proof install instructions? Im a bog standard obs user with basically no tech knowhow at all. I downloaded the "installer exe" and, possibly naively, assumed that would drop this straight into my obs. all im looking to do is switch between 2 scenes of my choosing automatically on a timer. Do i need to download other "assets" too? I thought they were for people that wanted to do manual installs. There is a tool in the list on my obs named correctly, but its menus are not the same as the exaples. i appreciate this is basic stuff to most of you, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Or if needs be, being pointed to a simpler / different tool would be fine.
thanks, Bert.

Here the steps regarding the installation:
- Download the installer by clicking the the "Go to download" button at the top of this page.
- Double click on the installer.exe file you just downloaded and click "More info", followed by "Run anyway".
And follow the installer instructions.
- Launch OBS and confirm that the "Advanced Scene Switcher" entry is available under tools:

All good! You are right, docks is a 'best effort' situation at best. I'll make it work! The ability to dock these macros at all is a huge feature.

thanks very much for getting back to me. i have realized my issue. like a complete noob, i hadnt restarted obs. i was doing 3 things at once and that step escaped me at the time! i have since restarted obs and the screens i expected to see have now appeared. i will check out those wiki pages too. thanks again.Here the steps regarding the installation:

Is there a way, or could it be added :), a way to run a windows CMD directly from AdvSS?
Currently I use the FILE command to echo out the code syntax to a .bat file, then use the RUN command to execute it.

Hi! First, man I'm loving this plugin!!
I'm trying to use it to be my "start OBS" workflow.
What I want to do is this:
Check if specific programs are open, if they're not open them. If they are, don't worry and progress onward
I've noticed that I can do "AND NOT" in the logic menu at the start, but if ANY of the programs are open when I close out, the whole macro dies and won't open anyting at all.
Is it possible to do this within a single macro? I'd love to not have to make a separate one for each program I would like to open at launch, but if I have to then so be it. At least the copy process won't make it too difficult.

Hello! Thank you so much for the plugin!
I'm experiencing the difficulties with setting up Macro to make it work. This is what I'm trying to do:
IF: Twitch - [Within the last 10.00 seconds / no duration] - [selected channel] - Points reward redeemed - [selected reward] - Check using account [selected] (all permissions are given)
ACTION: Scene item visibility - [selected scene] - Show - [selected source]
If I click Run Macro it works. If I redeem the selected reward it doesn't work. Any thoughts what can be wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Perhaps post a couple of screen shots showing your macro. You can copy/paste right into the forum. A picture might be easier to pick out issues

I am not sure to honest.
If I would do that I would likely have to support all kinds of shells / environments to avoid confusion, which I would want to avoid.
You could however "build your own" action type using the scripting interface.
I assume something like this could do the trick:
Python:
import obspython as obs
# Required by advss helpers
import threading
from typing import NamedTuple
# Required for the custom action
import subprocess
###############################################################################
# Define the settings available for the user for this action type
def get_action_properties():
props = obs.obs_properties_create()
obs.obs_properties_add_text(props, "script_to_run", "Script", obs.OBS_TEXT_MULTILINE)
return props
# Set default values for each setting
def get_action_defaults():
default_settings = obs.obs_data_create()
obs.obs_data_set_default_string(default_settings, "script_to_run", "echo \"hello world!\"")
return default_settings
# The settings for each instance of this action the will be passed in the
# "data" argument
def run_cmd_action(data, instance_id):
script = obs.obs_data_get_string(data, "script_to_run")
# Build a single line command to run
command = " & ".join(script.splitlines())
result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
obs.script_log(obs.LOG_INFO, result.stdout)
obs.script_log(obs.LOG_INFO, result.stderr)
###############################################################################
def script_load(settings):
# Register the custom action
advss_register_action(
"CMD",
run_cmd_action,
get_action_properties,
get_action_defaults(),
)
def script_unload():
advss_deregister_action("CMD")
###############################################################################
# Advanced Scene Switcher helper functions below:
# Omitted for brevity - can be found here:

Let me know if you run into any issues!
I don't think something like this is possible in a single macro.
Just for my understanding: What are your exact concerns with splitting it up into multiple macros?
If you simply don't want to "clutter" the macro list with too many macros you can group those macros:
I can't spot any obvious issue in the macro you have set up.
Can you please enable verbose logging and share an OBS log file of when you are trying to reproduce the issue?
Are you able to receive other events like for example "Stream went live" after going live?
