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 love this plug-in, but since i update obs, stop working, i try to install the last version of Advanced Switcher, but the problem still there...

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. :)
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.

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.
This has been a very perfect plugin for everything I needed.

When OBS crashes (not related to the plugin), the plugin stops working no matter how many times I restart OBS. Had to resort to restart my PC to get it back up working.
Hello! It's a very good plugin, I use it a lot, although may I ask something? Is there something like this, for streamlabs? I want to switch to it, but this holds me back a little bit

I don't know if something like this exist for streamlabs.
On macOS OSX is not working on OBS 26.0.2, however it works in 26.1.2.

OBS is shipped with certain versions of libraries the plugin depends on.
The version of these libraries was changed from OBS 26.0 to OBS 26.1 and I chose to support the newer versions of OBS.

I could of course always build two version of the plugin but this would probably cause too much confusion.

In general I hope that the problem resolves itself over time as people slowly migrate to more recent versions of OBS on macOS.
But if you have suggestions on how to handle this situation better I am all ears :)

Unfortunately the plugin overview page also does not let me select OBS 26.1 as the minimum supported version, as only changes in major version seem to be supported. (So OBS 25, OBS 26, ...)
Hi, the plugin was working well but now Windows Defender is quarantining the plugin as it is being detected as a trojan? Any insight on this?
W
Warmuptill
Hi, I have no clue why that would be the case :(
If you have any doubts the source code is available.
Where did you download the plugin? Which version? Was this already the case for previous versions?

EDIT: I have disabled the download for now, while I investigate this further.
EDIT2: Apparently the 32-bit Windows version of the plugin was somehow triggering windows defender.
Rebuilding the plugin once again with a different version number seems to have resolved the issue for now.
Release was updated and download is enabled again.
It's very good, although at the present release, there is not yet the way to edit a line, instead of to delete it and substitute it.
When you have few scenes, it's not an issue. But with a lot of scenes, it's cumbersome.

Thank you! :)

Editing the entries in place is definitively on the to-do list.
I just havn't found a way to implement it in a reasonable amount of work.
Plugin working less and less well through the updates, I don't know why but now it takes a long time (up to 15sec) to detect a change from a file (even if the "check delay" is still at 300ms)
i have a problem witch the "transitions" both options do not work properly

-try 1
options above:
from "Scene 1" to "Scene 2" with "transition 1"
and
from "Scene 2" to "Scene 1" with "transition 2"
and
from "Scene 1" to "Scene 3" with "transition 1"
and
from "Scene 3" to "Scene 1" with "transition 2"
---Don´t Work - its only 1 transition

-try 2
options below:
when "Scene 1" then switch to "transition 1"
when "Scene 2" then switch to "transition 2"
when "Scene 3" then switch to "transition 2"
---Don´t Work -2 of 3 do not work. he does not even change to the other scene

hope you can help me.
it is otherwise a cool tool
Overall great tool
I'm missing a feature, to keep one scene active while a window is open
e.g. - while game is running, keep scene active even if I alt+tab - do not switch to default scene
W

Ignore Windows and Executable based scene switching could work for this case.
