Thank you Sweboy for your valuable feedback and help on the bugs and issues related to this update.
If you like this update, please consider leaving a review. Let's see if we can smash the reviews for this release!!
This update has not been comprehensively tested prior to release, please report any issues.
NEW FEATURES
- Timer Expire Events ('Source List', 'Scene List', 'Auto List') has been expanded to exit out of the timer loop when source list contains only one item.
BUGS
- Fixed hour input limit for count down mode
- Fixed minute input limit for count down mode
- Fixed bug related Timer Expire Events ('Source List', 'Scene List', 'Auto List')
- Fixed an issue when Timer Expire Events ('Source List', 'Scene List', 'Auto List') contains only one item.
NOTES
When Timer Expire Events is set to 'Source List', 'Scene List' or 'Auto List' and only one source/scene is defined/available,
the timer will not reset. If the timer does not reset it will display the timer's expired timestamp. If a userbase requires the timestamp to
change, then this feature refactoring for the script will be considered for future updates.
To access this feature / update:
Set timer to 'Count Down'
Set 'Layout' to 'Advanced' and set 'Timer Settings' to 'Expanded'
Assign a 'Timer Source'
Set 'Timer Expire Event' to 'Source List, Scene List' or 'Auto List'
For 'Timer Expire Event' set to either 'Source List or Scene List' you must add the source/scene names manually. Ensure the spelling is correct!!
It does not matter what is listed in the 'Cycle List' as it will only act upon valid names that exist in available 'Sources' or 'Scenes' depending on the selected value 'Source List' or 'Scene List'
Use 'Auto List' to cycle through all items contained inside of either 'Nested Scenes' or 'Groups'
To access 'Auto List' set 'Timer Expire Event' to 'Auto List' and then a new 'select input' will be available to select which Nested Scene or Group items will by cycled/used.
NEW FEATURES
- Custom Hour Unit
There is a low probability that this update may break something, so please report any issues so it may be mended.
Thank you @phagtheodnoque from my Youtube Channel for the great feature suggestion/request.
Overview:
Set Timer Format to Custom Time Format
In Time Format, override the default hour unit by adding curly brackets '{ instructions }'
- Instructions accepted is 'H' (Overriding Hour Unit) followed by numeric value that you want the hour unit to be limited at.
- Instructions accepted is 'M' (Overriding Minute Unit) followed by numeric value that you want the minute unit to be limited at.
Valid Input Format
- Instructions Format: The input string should contain a segment enclosed in curly brackets {}.
- Data Encoding: Inside the curly brackets, the function looks for a pattern comprising the target_char followed immediately by one or more digits (e.g., M123, H456).
- Examples of Valid Strings:
- "$H:$M:$S,$F{M90}" (with target M, extracts 90)
- "$H:$M:$S,$F{H100M200}" (with target H, extracts 100 and with target M, extracts 200)
- "$H:$M:$S,$F{M90H999}" (with target H, extracts 999 and with target M, extracts 90)
- Select Target Character: Decide the uppercase character (target_char) you're interested in. This should be a single uppercase letter like 'M' (Minute) or 'H' (Hour)

Features
* "Auto List" is a new Timer Expire Event that is accessible in the Count Down Mode
* Expanded Prefix and Suffix text features Allows instructions to be added inside curly brackets:
{PARAM_1_1,PARAM_2}
PARAM_1 will accept numeric value of '1' and this will show the text at Marker A time
PARAM_1 will accept numeric value of '2' and this will show the text at Marker B time
PARAM_1 will accept STRING value of 'HH:MM:SS' and this will show the text at Defined String Time
PARAM_ 2 is optional and accept numeric value and if defined will hide the text after defined time
Example:
* Split Start and Pause into two buttons (Opt In)
* Marker A & B Notes now supports groups (Nested Text Sources)
It should be noted that the Marker Color defined in the script settings will not be applied to the text source at all. This allows to expand creativity.
* Disable features, if this is selected, related properties will be hidden in the settings and will not work during execution
