Advanced Scene Switcher 1.29.3

[Spookopheles]

The ability to change Blending Modes and Interlace settings would be nice. The capture plugin i use uses the card's api and actually changes dimensions when the resolution changes, so the scene switcher would be able to detect a change to 480 and change the interlace setting to on, and then off otherwise. For example, for footage of games that swap between 240p and 480i. I understand of course that very few people would probably need such a thing though.

A build with the option to check how similar the input image is to a given color value will be available here in a few minutes:

Video condition · WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher@a33e943

An automated scene switcher for OBS Studio. Contribute to WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher development by creating an account on GitHub.

(You will have to be logged into GitHub to be able to download it)

First you will have to select the color value you want to match (1).
Next you can adjust how similar a color can be to the given input color to still count as a match at (2).
Finally you can adjust how much of the given input image must contain the given color for the condition to evaluate to true at (3).

Let me know if this works for you / does what you expected.

Finally got a chance to test this, seems to work for me, which should really help my workflow with switching scenes to match Keynote slides. I had some trouble picking enough colors that were distinguishable from each other, but I think some of that was user error, and it's all working now.

Sorry I am not really familiar with this settings.
Is this something is specific to a given source or a general OBS setting?
Where can this setting be found?

Once I know this I can try to look into adding an option to change it.

Is there any chance we can change scenes in the “Vertical dock”…..I love the vertical obs plugin but its kinda incompatible with scene switcher right now

The plugin seems to support websocket vendor requests to switch scenes.
I will try to look into supporting these.

A general note:
I won't have access to the internet the next couple of weeks.
So please forgive me if I don't respond in a timely manner.

These settings are in the right click menu of sources. Deinterlace settings only appear on capture card sources. Im using obs 2.8 still.

Greetings, everyone! I have a question on an updated version of the plugin. What I want is when a media source is ended Scene Switcher switches to another scene. What a macro should be designed like?
There's also another task I have to operate. I created two macros which control whether a mic is on/off. It is on when certain scenes are selected and it's off in the opposite case. I want to add an option to mute/unmute the mic using a hotkey in scenes where the mic is turned off. How to do it?
Thanks!

@Warmuptill ¿Hay alguna forma de apagar las cámaras cuando no las estoy usando porque, por ejemplo, estoy configurando obs, con un botón en un muelle?

 

[AaronD]

Is there a way to turn off the cameras when I'm not using them because, for example, I'm setting obs, with a button on a dock?

Turn off? That can mean anything.

If you mean hide their sources or switch scenes away from them, that's trivial in Adv. SS.

If you mean "shut down the camera's internal controller", then that's a question of how to talk to that internal controller in the first place. Relay or transistor across the power button, perhaps? Controlled from a USB -> GPIO adapter, or a 25-pin parallel port if your machine still has one of those?

when a media source is ended Scene Switcher switches to another scene. What a macro should be designed like?

I like to use the "playing and about to end" logic instead of "ended", because it leaves just enough time for a smooth transition. For the smooth transition to happen, the transition must be started *before* the media is actually ended, and that's exactly what the condition shown here does.

As shown here, it'll match any media at all. I like it this way because I only ever have one thing playing anyway, and that's a full-screen video. If you have a lot of things playing, or if different ones need to go to different scenes, then you'll need to specify which thing to look at and have a separate copy for each difference.

I want to add an option to mute/unmute the mic using a hotkey in scenes where the mic is turned off. How to do it?

Or if you insist on using Adv. SS:

Hi all. Does anyone have any experience on setup an integration with conferencing systems like Shure SW 6000? It would be nice to set scene switching based on what conferecing microphone is active in the hall...

Yes turn off

when you start to configure the obs for hours, to change overlays or create new macros, do tests, etc etc. By having obs open and the cameras linked to a scene, they remain on for hours unnecessarily. Or I'll give you another example... I start the stream 1 hour before, just putting videos or music or previews of the stream, the cameras are on for an hour unnecessarily. and deconfiguring them from the scene seems totally wrong to me.

There must be something so that you can with Advance Scene Switcher create a button to turn them all off with one click and then turn them back on.

 

[Bairespm]

here is an option that can be enabled but can you make a dock button that disables all or shows all webcams?

Obviously, in the live stream, this option cannot be enabled when you constantly change cameras since it would cut it off for seconds and we would constantly be turning the cameras on and off, I don't know how good that could be.

Disable webcam when not in use

I usually keep OBS always running, and the problem is it's always using the webcam (the webcam indicator goes green all the time and the webcam becomes warm), even when the source is hidden or I've switched to another scene. The only way to disable the webcam is to remove the source or the scene...

Looks like that's your solution. Adv. SS *can* change scene collections, but be aware that its settings are also stored in there, so you're also changing to a different instance of Adv. SS when you do that. If you set up your return macro and then switch, you won't have it.

Their homepage doesn't help much. What is it really, what does it do, and how does it do that?

If you can access each individual mic by itself, regardless of what the software is doing with it, then you might use the Audio condition to respond to the volume level of each one.

If you want to respond to the settings of the app itself, I don't think that's possible unless the app provides some sort of software hook that you can take advantage of. The Video condition *might* be able to interpret a checkbox, but that would be pretty brittle as I imagine it.

Parece que esa es tu solución. Adv. SS *puede* cambiar las colecciones de escenas, pero tenga en cuenta que su configuración también se almacena allí, por lo que también está cambiando a una instancia diferente de Adv. SS cuando haces eso. Si configura su macro de devolución y luego cambia, no la tendrá.
[ADJUNTAR=completo]95221[/ADJUNTAR]

no no, prefiero no hacerlo así, tengo una colección en la que trabajo continuamente, así que cambiarla puede romper algo. Entonces, me preguntaba si hay alguna forma en que adv ss me permita crear un botón de gancho para él.

Solo pongo ese enlace como referencia de lo que estoy tratando de hacer para que me entiendan mejor ya que mi ingles no es muy bueno. y con el paso de los años nadie lo resuelve. Me imagino que Adv SS podría hacerlo... ya que es, con mucho, el mejor complemento creado para el software de transmisión.

thank you AaronD. The microphones works via IP network and are connected to a central server, so I can't connect directly to microphones. But I see that it delivers "live data" via a web service, so I imagine it can send the code of the active microphone in real time. I see that this plugin can connect to a web socket but only to an external obs instance, right? Can't it connect to a generic web service?
Other way would be to interpret the red ring light of the active microphone in the video source, but I suspect it woulnd't work flawlessly.

It can connect to a server, using its IP address, port number, username, and password, and then it wants a specific format to the message. It's not really the plugin's fault that it needs that format, but OBS filters it first and then passes only that format to the plugin.

If you need to, you might write a one-page daemon in Python, that connects to both the server and to OBS, and does the translation. The translation itself is done in the libraries that you import; the Python code itself just shovels the data across.

Or if @Warmuptill can verify that it can also manage its own connections, regardless of OBS, then you could do it all in Adv. SS.

Other way would be to interpret the red ring light of the active microphone in the video source, but I suspect it woulnd't work flawlessly.

I think that'd be about as brittle as watching a checkbox. If the camera moves so that the ring light uses a different set of pixels, or the window moves so that the checkbox is somewhere else on the screen, it breaks the detection.

@Warmuptill
I'm in studio mode, and I want to create a macro to send a scene directly to the program, is that possible? Or could this function be added?

Currently when I select a scene, it loads in "PREVIEW" and then I have to give it a transition. this is bad for me. Although there is an option in obs that can be enabled that double-clicking the scene directly sends it to "PROGRAM"

but i need this in a macro. I explain

For my homemade streamdeck, I put together a macro where I create a hotkey that when used changes the PROGRAM scene directly.

You can understand it better in the attached images.

Thanks for you time.

From your screenshot, you're using one hotkey to trigger another hotkey? Which then tells OBS to select a scene?

You can delete the second hotkey and keep the exact same functionality like this:

Or you can change the program directly like this:

The previously active scene will also move to the Preview when this runs.

Yes, it's true, I only did it to graph what I want to do... I have a homemade streamdeck, to which I assign hotkeys to change scenes, the problem is that it loads them in "PREVIEW" and I need it directly load in "PROGRAM"

Keeping the studio mode active. I know that if I disable it I can send directly to PROGRAM but I don't want to disable it since it can avoid many errors if studio mode is active
