Advanced Scene Switcher 1.37.2

[Lycanthrope -R-]

While I wasn't able to reproduce the issue myself I think I was able to identify a potential root cause.
A build with a fix is available here on GitHub:

UI pull request run · WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher@92e409e

I would appreciate if you could give it a try and report back if it did indeed resolve the issue on your side. (If you find the time to - no rush)

You will have to be signed into an GitHub account to be able to download it.
Let me know if that should be a problem and I can try to upload it somewhere else.

Unfortunately, the fork didn't help.

My situation is weird. I have a very specific laptop called a Zenbook Pro Duo and it has two screens built into it.

If the bottom screen is turned on, the problem shows up. And there's no way to move it off of this layout.

And it could be something within Windows itself, or OBS, or something else I'm not thinking of that's interfering. So I understand if it's hard to guess what's going on. I have no idea.

Testing out pattern matching. Just wondering if I can get a value of what is found?
My test finds 3, but the closest thing I've found shows "1037"

I have adapted how machting patterns are counted in this build:

Basically ignores overlapping matches.
Does this produce the expected result for your setup?

Hm .. strange.
Not sure what is going on there.

I will let you know if I have another idea for a potential fix.
But thanks for giving the build a try!

I think you might be able to use the "Random" action for this purpose.

View attachment 118801

Similar to the "Sequence" action type it will allow you to specify a list of macro to execute.
Crucially you can configure it to not allow repeats and "skip" macros that are currently paused.

You can rely on the latter to "cross off" macros that have already been randomly executed by making sure that each macro will pause itself at the end.
This can be done using the "Macro" action type.
For example, here is what such a randomly executed macro might look like - note that "Macro 3" is pausing "Macro 3".

You might then also have to set up a helper macro which un-pauses all macros on OBS startup and once every macro is paused.

-----

Just to mention it (although it doesn't seem as practical to me for your particular use case):
You can also randomize the current index of a "Sequence" action using variables like this:

But tracking repeats will be quite cumbersome using this approach.

I hope that helps!

Will try this, and seriously—thank you for your work on this.

I installed 1.32.9 over 1.32.6

I entered the plugin and this error message was given.

Macro list was "tilted" -> every line on the macro list was halfed - like 50% of each text row was shown and the below-half of letters were gone. Then macros disappeared from the list completely.

Installed 1.32.6 back and everything seems to be ok.

How did you install it?
Manually or using the installer?
I assume that some files were not correctly copied over (for some reason).

Hey all. I need some help here trying to add a volume knob (midi)

I read all sorts of things of variabele but really don't understand it .

Now the question: what is the way/variable for midi control change volume? &{.......}

Thank you.

Hello,
You can find more information about how to set this up here in the wiki:

Variables

It boils down to:
* read data from the midi device
* assign it to a variable
* optionally scale it
* adjust the volume of the source

Hope that helps!
Let me know if you have further questions! :)

@Warmuptill:

There appears to be something with Aitum Stream Suite that breaks any transitions that are defined by plugins. Apparently, this has to do with the fact that OBS Studio 32.1.0 now has support for multiple canvases baked in by default, mainly for those who do vertical streams. It affects Advanced Scene Switcher and Exceldro's own Transition Table.

Any thoughts on this matter? I have no use for secondary canvases, particularly for vertical canvases. And OBS Studio 32.1.0 in concert with Aitum Stream Suite break some plugin features, like Scene Switcher's ability to specify a transition type.

Thanks for the hint!
I will have to look into it!

Just to clarify:
Running a simple macro which just consists of a single action “switch to scene A using transition B” does not function properly and will use the wrong transition?

I'm smart in many ways, but wrapping my head around GitHub is not something I can do! I shall wait for the next release and try it out!

That is correct. I haven't determined whether it's a case of using whatever the currently-set transition type is versus like just a cut (that's all I've seen thus far). It appears to affect Exeldro's Transition Table. I've also let Exeldro know about the transition situation for Transition Table.

The "Perform actions only on condition change" setting will result in the actions only being executed when the overall result of the conditions has changed.
So, in your case, the actions will only be ran when the "SameMediaSource" source was visible on both "Subscene 1.1" and "Subscene 1.2" at some point prior to either source being hidden.

I can try to look into the option of also triggering the actions if any of the conditions changed its value, but the overall result stays the same.
But unfortunately this is not supported, yet.

In your case I would suggest to simply split this single macro up into two macros.

• if subscene 1.1 ... toggle text
• if subscene 1.2 ... toggle text

If "toggle text" is just a placeholder for a longer string of actions you don't want to repeat over and over in multiple macros I would suggest to set up a helper macros, which has no conditions and only performs the required actions, which you then call using the "Macro" action.

Saw you added options to manage condition evaluation behavior :)
Thanks!

G'day, Been running my macros for few years now with no issues but now since the second last update none of my time based conditions (ie timed condition for a certain scene) or delay actions work.

Hello All,

I've trying combing through this forum to find the answer to my question but with the newest updates, to the plugin, things don't look the same.

Essentially, I want to run some VODS that are on average a minimum of 5 hours long on my stream. Once the VOD is done I want the stream to stop. How can I do that on version 1.32.9? I've tried a few macros and timer settings but it hasn't seemed to work. Also my settings for the plugin seem "broken"? Some drop downs are labeled with the full prefix instead of whatever the setting is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you please provide an example macro - preferably as simple as possible - which is not behaving as you expect it to?
Then I will try to replicate the issue on my side and look into it.
Thanks!

How did you install the plugin?
It seems like the locale files are outdated.

If you manually copied files around make sure that the contents of the "data" directory are in the right place.

Doesn't get much simpler than this :) , always used to work. Thank you so much for the plugin btw, been using for long time and it a must have!

Thanks for sharing the example macro!
Unfortunately, I am not able to observe any issues on my side when using such a macro.

Can you please enable verbose logging on the General tab of the plugin and share an OBS log with a reproduction of the issue:

Please also note down the time at which the problem occurred since verbose logs can become rather large very quickly.

I installed it with the .exe, perhaps the directory I pointed it to was incorrect? This is the newest version.

Nevermind. I got it to work. Did a complete deletion of all plugin files and a clean install. It works now. Thank you!

 

[xX_Van_Helsing_Xx]

is there a way to supress the warning the plugin throws after obs crashes - No I don't want to stop the Plugin after a crash

OBS did not shut down cleanly (for example, due to a crash or freeze).The Advanced Scene Switcher plugin would normally start automatically.Would you like to keep it stopped for now?

NO - I found that I can click No with Alt+N after the message gets focus - but I need it to always say No
