This has been a spectacular plugin for years, appreciate the work you put into it. I would like help understanding the Stream Deck plugin as I have never been successful with using it. I can never get the WebSocket to connect. When I click "Apply" in the Stream Deck plugin settings, nothing happens.

I am glad to hear the plugin is of use to you!

In general I would suggest to use the discussion thread for support requests as the communication possibilities via reviews is very limited.

To connect the stream deck plugin to OBS you will have to:
* Check the "Enable WebSocket server" box under Tools -> WebSocket Server Settings.
* Note down the port and password being used.
* Open up the StreamDeck software and create a "Macro Condition" button.
* Click the "Configure OBS connection" button.
* Enter the previously noted down port and password and click "Apply".
* If everything was entered / enabled correctly the status should now change to "Connected to OBS websocket server".
* Set up a macro using the "Stream Deck" condition and whatever actions you need.
* Configure it or for testing uncheck "Check key position".
* Press the stream deck button and the macro's actions should be executed.

If this is not working for you feel free to reach out in the discussion thread or if preferred send me a DM and we will figure out what the issue is! :)

I am very sorry about that!
I will try to look into it as soon as I can (which probably will only be tomorrow, unfortunately).

Which version of the advanced scene switcher are you using?
Which OS are you using?

I thought I had tested the latest advanced scene switcher release with the OBS 32 beta releases and it was working fine.
I will make sure to verify that again tomorrow.

Feel free to provide the additional information in the discussion thread.

Update:
The problem did indeed turn out to be an old installation of the advanced scene switcher plugin.
All recent releases are compatible with OBS 32.

Great solution for my sports broadcasts. I configure the display of background images when there is text in the necessary files and update the text in OBS sources more often than the default behavior of OBS (1 time per second)

Amazing plugin. Thank you very much. I was struggling with switching sources at specific timings in combination with switching scenes. Your plugin makes that possible and I find it easier than building the steps in Streamdeck.

I found this a while back and for some reason, I didn't realize this wasn't part of the application itself. It's so expertly put together and works so flawlessly that it blew my mind to find out it was from one person. Warmuptill, thank you so much for this amazing plugin. you are awesome. I went and made an account just to leave this review and give you some love. Whenever you read this, I hope you're having an amazing day! Your work is greatly appreciated. hopefully someone big comes and hires you some day!

As for the constructive part of this review, It gives you full control of nearly every aspect within and even outside of OBS. it opens so many windows to so many possibilities that it would take way too long to give you a full scope of the potential.

If you have an inkling of how "If this, Then that" works, then this is that, but with a lot of tools at your disposal.

It will take a little time to figure things out, but once you get past the tiny learning curve, you will have UNLIMITED POWER!!!! :D

Absolutely love this plugin and have been using it for the past 6 years or so to control 4 NDI cameras recording and streaming client podcasts, music events, church services, conferences, comedy shows and DJ club night etc. As a one man crew, it would be great to also have the added functionality of being able to switch to the camera (scene) with the most movement in. This way it could cut to spontaneous audience applause/ laughter - webinar/ podcast guest reactions and other spontaneous musician/ DJ antics and crowd reactions. I'm not a programmer, but got ChatGPT to create the coding for this as an OBS plugin, but the reality is Advanced Scene Switcher is such a massive part of what I do, it needs to integrate with or be part of the amazing plugin that I could not live without. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. A+++++

I'm still learning how to use this plugin, but I already know it is powerful, and is only getting more so by the update. Thank you for all the time you have put into this. It has resolved a number of real production issues for me.

Adds functionality which I can't find anywhere else
Specifically
1-the ability to take a screenshot of a SPECIFIC source rather than the default SELECTED source
2-the ability to run command lines

Ι can not stress enough how flexible and useful this plugin is. There is literally countless features and it allows you to tailor it to your needs in every possible way. It's almost like pseudo coding on steroids. Warmuptill sincerly thank you for this wonderful plugin! If I could only pick one it would wholeheartedly be this plugin. I hope you update it with much more features from feedbacks and your ideas but you've done a crazy job so far! I can also tell you are a great guy from responding to some of my questions promptly, it was a huge help. Much appreciated! Protect this fella at all cost! Best plugin by far.

This may be the best tool that I am currently using for my giveaway events. It works great with the Rode Caster Duo's MIDI features. Flawless. Thanks a lot!

Gotta admit Warmuptill is killing it with this plugin.

Regular new features, Regularly condensing back the interface, and Regularly detailed patch notes.
I have been using this since it's inception and I find myself relying upon it more and more as it expands.

Unfortunately, handling support requests via reviews is very difficult.
Please provide more information in the discussion section and I am sure we can figure out what the issue is. :)

Would it be possible for you to add a condition for audio mute state (yes, not action)? It would be extremely useful for a conditional auto mute/unmute macro for away/active scene changes I'm trying to put together.

Thanks so much for this plugin! You're amazing! <3

Warmuptill
This option should already exist in the Audio condition type.

If I am misunderstanding your request, I apologize, and please let me know what you meant in the discussion thread!

Really good plugin, works extremely well on X11 and Windows platforms.

Through no fault of the developer, the cursor isn't captured well in Wayland which really sucks. Haven't been able to come up with a workaround yet.

It's a Wayland limitation as they've restricted access to that hard... but at the same time Wayland is kind of the standard for most distros now. There might be some places like pipewire to look at workarounds on this , but in the meantime no bueno.

Warmuptill
If there is any known (and feasible) workaround to get the global cursor position on Wayland based windowing systems I am open to adapt the plugin to handle this case.
Unfortunately so far I am not aware of any.

--------------------------------------------------
Update:
A potential workaround by achow101 can be found in this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/issues/512#issuecomment-2372785305

It introduces a custom condition type "KWin Cursor" via the scripting interface.
Under the hood it uses "kdotool" to query the cursor position.
So, if this tool should be available for your particular Linux distribution it might be worth a shot.

Whenever I tried creating a condition for the macro, my OBS crashes immediately. I am using the latest plugin and OBS version and the crash log says that it is the plugin issue.

Someone else told me to downgrade my OBS but I'm not sure which version I should downgrade too. Does anyone know a way about this?
W
Warmuptill
Thank you for your review of the plugin.

Unfortunately handling support requests via reviews is very difficult since there is no way for me to communicate with you besides this single reply.
Please share the the crash log in the discussions thread and I will try to figure out what the issue is.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update:

After looking through your other discussion thread regarding this crash I have the suspicion that you might have attempted to manually install the plugin by copying individual files.
However, you seem to have forgotten at least one file / folder.

This results in the plugin not knowing any condition or action type.
The plugin cannot handle this state state and will thus crash when you try to add a new condition.

I would advise you to use the installer instead.
If that is not an option for you (e.g. because you are running a "portable" OBS install) feel free to contact me directly and I will guide you through the "manual" installation.

I hope this helps! Please let me know in the plugin's discussion thread! :)

Godlike automation.

Used this to hack together a replay buffer that doesn't overlap/waste space by re-clipping the same footage. Here's the importable macro code for anyone interested: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/smarter-replay-buffer-options.156347/post-651432

why my advanced scene switcher only show up general and macro only? where are the others like time or something else....
W
Warmuptill
I assume you were previously using an OBS version older than OBS 28 and just upgraded to a more recent release.
There was unfortunately a breaking change a few years ago when OBS 28 was released, which resulted in you having to reinstall a more recent version of the advanced scene switcher plugin as the old version of the plugin was no longer compatible.
This unfortunately resulted in your settings being reset to default and thus the old non-macro tabs being hidden by default.
You can re-enable the old tabs, but clicking the corresponding checkbox on the General tab.
A screenshot of this setting is also visible in the FAQ:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/FAQ

I am very sorry about this and I hope this information helped!

If you have further questions feel free to ask in the discussion thread as the communication via reviews is rather limited.

I wish this plugin was called something else because its name undersells it HARD, there's so much you can do with it, switching scenes is like a single grain of sand on the beach of functionality it offers.
I legitimately think I'm not exagerating when I say most people do not understand how crazy powerful this plugin is.
