Hello and thank you for this great plugin!
I've a question about MIDI events. I would like to have a set of scene switches at specific MIDI timecodes. I see that on the GUI is possible to select "Time Code" through the "Type" dropdown, but I'm not sure to have understood how to specify the timecode in the format of hh:mm:ss:ff o whatever. Running plugin version 1.22.1 on Windows. Thank you.

I have a TEXT(GDI+) font that I need to update with new text before streaming.
From the TEXT(GDI+) configuration I make it read a .txt that I manually open and update.
the problem is that i always forget to do it

The question is...
Is there any way from advanced scene switcher to be able, under the condition if advance scene switcher is started, to open a popup where it asks me to write a text and save it in that .txt file that I raise from the TEXT(GDI+) configuration?

From already thank you very much

A build with the option ask the user for input is available here in a few minutes:

(The build also contains the hotkey stuff we discussed yesterday)

The variable action has the option to prompt the user for input.
In a later step you can then use this value to modify the settings of text source.

An example macro could look like this:

Unfortunately I am not sure either at the moment as I don't have any physical midi devices and only used virtual devices for my testing.
I will try to investigate.

Not sure if this is a plugin bug or an OBS bug, but:

This is two monitors. OBS is supposed to be on the right one, with that arrangement of docks, but it also copies some of the Macro docks to the left monitor. The copies highlight their buttons when I hover over the main ones, and vice-versa, and when I close either one, the other goes away too.

The first macro dock doesn't do this, and sometimes the second is okay, but it seems like all the rest do.

Can you check if this build resolves the issue?

To be honest I am not quite sure what is going on there.

Whatever it is, seems to work. Thank you!

Is that the only change from the previous release? Just wondering how safe it is to put this testing build on the production machine.

I think it should be safe to use as there were no changes to existing functionality. (But I cannot give a guarantee)

Changes are limited to the source condition and action (only UI related), the support for configuring additional stream related settings using the streaming action type and the addition to prompt the user for variable values was added to the variable action type.

Detailed list of changes can be found here:

If you prefer I can start a build based on the 1.22.1 release + cherry-pick of the fix for the dock UI issue.

It's not an immediate pressing issue. That machine normally runs from the Multiview anyway, so I can hide the errant docks under the browser window that monitors the YouTube stream. Just a bit of confusion for someone else who might need to run it is all.

How far off do you think the next formal release would be? I'd rather keep that machine on those, as long as they don't break anything. Either 1.23.x or 1.22.2.

Excellent, thank you very much, it is really very good. The only thing I would do is remove that text in the "assign value to variable" popup, it would only leave the title that we put on it
since if another operator grabs the pc and a sign pops up, he will not know what to do

Yes, I saw what was spoken by the hotkey. It's really amazing. Now it works like a charm. I am very thankfull for your help

I've seen that you could use a timer in advance scene switcher but I don't see how to show it in a source..

Example: I want to put a countdown before starting the streaming and I can't find the way in the macros. I only found how to use a timer internally if it is displayed

Another thing that I would like is to be able to show the transmission time of a scene that is on the program. can it?

thanks for your time

Excelente, muchas gracias, es realmente muy bueno. Yo lo unico que haria seria quitar ese texto en el popup de "asignar valor a la variable", solo dejaria el titulo que le ponemos
ya que si otro operador agarra la pc y le sale un cartel no sabra que hacer

Sí, vi lo que dijo la tecla de acceso rápido. Es realmente increíble. Ahora funciona como un encanto! estoy muy agradecida por tu ayuda

I have no concrete plans yet.
Depends on if any urgent issues pop up. :)

hi @Warmuptill Here I notify a bug, in the new hotkey frontend the name of the variable is being filtered in scenes and in sources

That is intended.
You can use variables in source / scene selection fields.

For "scene item visibility" action, can you please allow selecting a scene item by index (and as a variable), not by name? I have a scene containing all my videos, and I intend to play them sequentially (not necessarily one after the other, and may entail moving to other scenes). I want to be able to first show the first scene item. Once it finishes, I want to be able to show the second scene item and hiding the first scene item. While I haven't fiddled with variables that much yet, I think incrementing the index should be easy. Thanks!

I happened to get a bug when it comes to importing/exporting. I'm not really sure which adv-ss version I had (might be 1.20 or 1.21 or something), but I updated to 1.22.1. When it prompted to backup settings, I did. However, now all duration (seconds) in conditions and actions became 0. I only checked the wait actions and "time remaining shorter" condition (I have yet to completely evaluate the scope of the damage to my setup) and both have the issue, so it does seem like this is not an action/condition specific issue.

I included an old backup file of mine, and the new backup file that has all seconds set to 0. Here's also the log file even though it might not help as there's a lot of things I did here before I noticed the issue. https://obsproject.com/logs/45C3IUc8qAjOLnlL

Sorry if the answer to the questions is obvious or I am mixing something up here, but did you perform a downgrade accidentally?
The export form today seems to be using version 1.20.5 but the one from May 15th is already using 1.22.0.

The settings only ever support upgrading the version.
Information might be lost when downgrading.
