Am I crazy? I installed the "Advanced Scene Switcher" from the "Go to downloads" link and went through the normal unzip process only to find that it installed "AUTOMATIC Scene Switcher" instead. I tried again using the windows installer package and got the same results. The screen looks nothing like the grabs located at the start of this thread.

Hi, I have the same issue. Installed from the 64bit windows installer. Advanced Scene switches is not available in the tools menu.
I reinstalled it with admin rights. Made no difference. I think the 'Automatic Scene Switcher' was already there; it's not that it got installed by the Advanced Scene Switches.

Doies anybody has an idea how I can get the new Advanced Scene Switcher available in the tools menu?

Thx!

Problem solved. Apparently I installed the x86 plugin instead of the 64bit version.

Suggestion: add scenes to the Screenshot action. Currently only active output and sources are allowed, but it is also useful to screenshot the preview, which OBS does not provide a function to screenshot the preview using a hotkey.

Only caveat is that unrendered scenes may result in blank screenshots, since window captures and media sources are unloaded when they are not visible, but a note for that will suffice. The preview in studio mode is not affected by this since they are loaded.

Multiview (View->bottom-of-menu) loads at least the first 8 scenes (by default), or however many are selected in Settings->General->scroll-to-bottom. That might be used to make a scene screenshot work, even if Multiview isn't otherwise needed.

Windowed projectors on specific scenes can also make it so the sources are rendered, which is cheaper than a multiview
I hadn't seen that option before - maybe it was added after I started using OBS - but I looked now, and sure enough, there it is. Version 28.0.2 on Windows 10. I also have a Linux version of this rig: haven't looked yet, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it there too.

Since OBS 27 (?) when creating a stream to YouTube it's required to 'Manage Broadcast' to setup title, description, privacy, category etc. When I configure ASS (an unfortunate acronym ;) ) to automatically start it prompts for these settings. Is there a way to eg pre-configure all these settings so it does actually start a stream automatically??

it has been there for years hahahaha, along with the full screen projector

but yes, we need a way to screenshot scenes. even the obs UI allows screenshot of scenes that are not currently rendered, so imo this just needs a note on the macro

Sure, a build with this functionality will be available here in a few minutes:
I added a note regarding unrendered scenes and sources as a tooltip.

Not that I know of unfortunately - I will try to look into it.

Thanks, also wow! Custom screenshot path is nice! One more reason to recommend this plugin when people ask in support channels.

Hey folks, I just updated to the new version because OBS 28 meant the old version stopped working.

My old macros did not automatically set up when I installed the new version. Is there any way to recover my old macros so I don't have to recreate them all in this new version?

Thanks in advance for any help!

FYI - I have standalone built OBS-Studio 28.0.1 on Fedora 36 x86_64 and included the Advance Screen Switcher. Thus, I have the plugin files which all compiled clean and seem to work. The build was based on the current rpmfusion-free source RPM. So it matches the binary obs-studio 28.0.1 RPM provided at the time of this writing. Overall, am a Noob here on the board so I do not know exactly what to do to make them more formally available (lso not sure that is the right thing to do). Cant say I will keep them up to date - but since my build environment is up and running, I and I am intending to use this plugin, I just may. if anyone wants them, message me if have interest.

If you have exported your settings to a file using the option to do so on the General tab you could reimport them.
Alternatively if you have backed up your scene collection you can load this backup as the plugin's settings are stored there.
