Advanced Scene Switcher 1.28.1

[Warmuptill]

Does anyone know how to UNINSTALL the advanced scene switcher in macOS? I have tried uninstalling my entire obs but it's still here. I tried searching for any files named advanced scene switcher in my system but no result found. Any suggestion is appreciated!!!

You should be able to uninstall it by running the following command in the terminal application:

rm -r~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin

Alternatively you can also navigate to this folder in Finder and remove it there.

I think I'd have to see an example. Record what doesn't work, post that recording, and say what should be different about the recording.

If I'm imagining correctly now, I wonder if you could do a similar thing with the Downstream Keyer plugin, instead of an actual stinger?:

Downstream Keyer

This plugin adds a Downstream Keyer dock to OBS studio.

obsproject.com

DSK takes a normal scene, and overlays it on top of what would otherwise be OBS's final output. So you can switch scenes under it, or do anything else you want, and the DSK'ed scene stays on top through all of that. So if you have, say, a "stinger" scene DSK'ed on top, then you can control things happening on both that and the "normal" output underneath, independently from each other.

That's what I mean
So the scene changes underneath and all that, but Adv.SS only applies/removes filters after the fact

Yep, what I said should work in theory:
Put the stinger in its own scene as a media source, or however you can make it work as a standalone dedicated scene (rebuild it with OBS tools and plugins if you have to), and then DSK it on top with that plugin. Then use Adv. SS to coordinate all of the moving parts to make the right effect in the end. Blur, then run the stinger, cut scenes while the stinger is entirely opaque, then unblur.

It's a lot of work to get around what seems to me like a limitation of OBS itself - not enough multithreading, to use a technical term, similar to this post - but at least it's possible.

Hi, sorry no answer for your problem, and I hope i"m not being too nosy, I love to learn from other people, but what is the purpose of cycling thru 3 scenes?

Sure, we operate a shooting range with tournaments, 2 scenes for 2 webcams and a screen where all targets can be seen.
The viewers can see all 3 scenes in a 30s cycle.

Unless there's a reason to do otherwise, I would always check the "only on change" box. Not checked, means that it runs again on every scan as long as the condition remains true. In your case, it doesn't really matter because all three macros kill their own conditions anyway, but it's a good habit to get into.

For running in parallel, I've recently started doing that by default as well, because of some timing issues, especially when I run them manually with the dockable buttons.

• Not in parallel, locks up the user interface until the macro is completely finished (when triggered by the dock, at least), and causes OBS to schedule some of its own responses to happen afterwards too, which can override some of what I wanted the macro to do.
• Running in parallel, lets the GUI thread come back immediately and continue to respond while the macro runs, and allows OBS to do its automatic stuff immediately, that the same macro can then wait for and override like I want it to.

You put them into the /usr/ folder. So /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins/... and /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/.... Sorry about the delayed response! Yep! That worked. Thank you! The original problem will probably fix itself when OpenCV finally comes to 24.04, but I suspect it'll happen...

I turned on the options but nothing changed. I think I also found a pattern.

1st Scene manual select -> switches to 2nd scene -> OK
2nd scene doesn't switch to 3rd scene at all, even at manual selection
3rd scene switches to 1st scene again if selected manually -> OK -> Stays here. No automatic transition to 1st scene again.

Edit: "Run macro" button works when I`m on the 2nd scene. I`m really confused with that little issue...
There is a tournament which will be streamed in 1 week.

Here are screenshots from our real setup:

That is weird. Those screenshots should work. All the other macros are paused, so they shouldn't matter. You *can* run a macro from another one, even if it's paused, but you're not doing that either.

What does the General tab look like? Any weird settings there?

Are there any other controls that might be overriding this?

Thanks for answering my question about the 3 scenes

Ubuntu Studio 24.04

Both the mainline and beta do install from deb package, but I get this error

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of advanced-scene-switcher:

The plugin works fine in OBS (i currently have the beta running), but then when certain packages update (chrome for example, for whatever reason) the package manager says that advanced scene switcher must be removed.

I also get this message whenever I open updates in discover (it's long I know)

Silly Question. LOL. Are you live during this stream using a webcam?

Yes live with webcam.

As already mentioned by AaronD everything seems fine in the screenshots.
Can you try enabling verbose logging, reproducing the issue, and sharing the corresponding OBS log file?
Maybe I can spot the issue this way.

That is weird. Those screenshots should work. All the other macros are paused, so they shouldn't matter. You *can* run a macro from another one, even if it's paused, but you're not doing that either.

What does the General tab look like? Any weird settings there?

Are there any other controls that might be overriding this?

While starting the verbose logging I noticed this setting:

After ticking this "off" it works now. Wow. Thank you guys so much for your help!
Maybe this was turned on by default with one update a few months ago?
I can't really see why there is still a pattern that some scene transitions work while others don't, but for now my issue is solved.

Also weird. It's not default for me. Glad you found it though. Surely you weren't playing with it at some point, and forgot to turn it back off??? Or someone else, without your knowledge? (In which case, you'll want to check EVERYTHING!)

Warmuptill updated Advanced Scene Switcher with a new update entry:

Advanced Scene Switcher 1.28.0

Important notes:​

• The minimum supported OBS version is now OBS 30.1.2 on all platforms in preparation for OBS 31 support.
• Please make sure to back up your settings!
• The legacy tabs "Scene Triggers" and "Network" were removed. (More details below)
• If you run into any issues, please either post in the...

You can "right click" or "control click" on the file and select "open" to get the option to skip this check.

Paying Apple 99$ a year (at least last I checked) just to avoid this message from showing is not worth it to me.

Hi everyone, been using Advanced SS for some time now, without any issue.
When I open it, there is a yellow ! on the General Tab. Any idea what that means?

Just updated it, still see the icon. Lately my OBS has been freezing when Recording using it. I only use the Sequence tab to change scenes on timers

 

[AaronD]

Don't know what the icon means either, without a screenshot at least, but you should probably migrate your sequencing into Macros instead.

Warmuptill said in the latest update that there are no plans to remove it *yet*, but I would still consider *all* of the legacy tabs to be endangered.

This warning icon appears when the plugin is not started.
It was added more than a year ago as a frequent source of issues back then was that the plugin was simply not switched on and this was difficult to notice.

Thank you appreciate it. Now onto the next inquiry of why OBS freezes after 10-15 minutes of recording.
Thank you

Unfortunately without more context it will be really difficult to say what the issue might be / to analyse potential problems.

What type of macros are you using when the problem happens?
Do you have a log file of the issue?
Does OBS crash at some point and if so do you have a crash report?
