Advanced Scene Switcher 1.28.1

[AaronD]

There is only a difference for sources that have internal playlists like the VLC Video source.

Hmm. That seems odd, unless the logic really is different between the old Sequence tab and the Macros. That would make sense of what I saw.

I will add it to the list, but it might turn out to be a bit tricky.

You already populate a dropdown list to choose from. Could you iterate through that and watch for a rising edge (not just true) on the Ended state?

The implementation does indeed differ, so the old media tab probably behaves differently.

I would like to automatically change to the scene (let's call it scene A) having a window capture (the window of the software in which I am writing).
If the current scene is scene A and I am writing, the "video changed" is triggered fine. However, if the current scene is any other, writing detection does not happen.
In addition, the macro triggers automatically at the moment I switch away from from scene A, even when the captured window of scene A did not change.
Is this the intended behaviour of the "video changed" macro?

 

[GabiDG]

Solved. It seems the behaviour is caused by the window capture not being rendered by OBS in the other scenes. If the capture is set to a projector, then the video change triggers when Scene A is not the current scene, and also it is not triggered when switching away from Scene A.

I can't figure out how to write the current scene to a text file. This used to be pretty obvious in previous versions of Advanced Scene Switcher, I'm running 1.19.1 and can't find this anywhere. A lot of searching of this thread and elsewhere provided no help. If someone could tell me where to look or how to do this I would sincerely appreciate it.

Can you please share a log file? :)

As mentioned previously above you can either back up your scene collection data or export the settings to file on the General tab.
(1) will let you save the settings to a file and with (2) you can restore them from a file.

Hi
thanks for your reply.
How and where can I find those log files? I don't find the way to send you that....

Is it possible to go back with the previous edition (of OBS and Switcher scenes?)

Impossible to go further...

You can still use the old "File" tab to write the current scene name to a file.
Just uncheck this box to show the old tabs again and proceed as you did in the past.

Hope that helps! :)

Are you familiar with how to use the terminal in MacOS?
If so what you likely have to do is tell MacOS to not "quarantine" the plugin any more.

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine advanced-scene-switcher-macos-arm64.pkg

I am by no means an MacOS expert but if you like we can maybe also set up a call, with you sharing your screen, to try to get things running on your machine. (If so please send me a private message)

You can find them in OBS under "Help -> Log Files -> ..."

Yes it is.

As common as this hangup seems to be, would it be worth having a button to copy the file from where it normally is, to a user-specified location? Or open a file browser to where it normally is, so the user can work with it there?
Yes, there's already a way to get to it, as you've mentioned, but few people use menus at all, and even less when they're frustrated. ("The problem is <here>! So the solution, or at least the tools to help solve it, must also be <here>!")

(Firefox and Thunderbird do the latter one now. Long ago, they would just tell you where their profiles were and you'd have to copy/paste that path into the file browser, but now there's a button that opens the file browser and sends it there...although that button itself is in a menu that I have to google every time. :-/ )

I am wanting to make a macro that automatically runs and INTRO scene when starting streaming and an OUTRO scene before the stream is stopped. I can do the INTRO macro no problems but can't work out the OUTRO to happen automatically. Any help would be gratefully received!

Are you trying to intercept the stream ending, so you can play the OUTRO first? That's probably somewhere between tricky and impossible.

BUT, depending on how your triggers work, you could take whatever hotkey or other trigger that you're using to stop the stream, and have it play the OUTRO instead. So far, there's no "stop stream" command anymore, as that's replaced by "play OUTRO". But now you can trigger on the OUTRO being done, and stop the stream then.

Hi everybody, i'm trying to sync Advanced scene switcher to a music source, but it loses sync, i believe i figured out what causes the loss. It's "check switch conditions every..." Is there any chance to keep the sync with song? (i'm talking about the sync of the switch).

Are you trying to sync it to the beat, using the ms scan interval? That's really hard for any application. Not impossible, but good luck.

Are you keeping the switch interval "reasonable" while using an audio volume trigger to try and catch the beats? That's also hard because not all music has a reliable peak on every beat, and a "reasonable" interval is still slower than you really need to make that work. 120BPM, which seems like a reasonably exciting tempo that you might want to coordinate something to, is 2 beats per second, or 500ms between beats. But you want to scan significantly faster than that, so you can switch ON the beat instead of slightly off. (The general rule of thumb for direct unfiltered control is at least 10x faster, which is much faster than Nyquist as understood from the DSP world.)

The best option might be to make a video in a separate editor, do all of the tight timing in there, and then just play the video. Or if it must be live, have someone listen and push a hotkey for every switch. Adv. SS is then reduced to picking the next thing so that it's ready for the next switch, but not actually switching yet. That doesn't require nearly as fast scanning as it does to time the switch just right.

I just livestream my music performances, was looking into going live from a venue and I just fired up OBS after a break. Everything gone. Advanced Scene Switcher doesn't work. I spent HOURS setting this up and making it function. Now I have to start all over. I don't understand how to just get back to simple Auto scene switching. Macros?? WTF?? It's enough to make me stop livestreaming.

My screen only has two tabs. And not as many other "options" Seems like it just got harder to do a very simple basic function

Hello, I'm using a Macro with a Websocket Request action, I want to get the transform from one source and set it to another.
So far I managed to make work GetSceneItemTransform and SetSceneItemTransform requests by themselves... but I have no idea on how to link them so the output result from the first is the input of the second. Does anyone know?

 

[cristian44137]

Well, nvm, I can't make SetSceneItemTransform to work, I need help for this too...
