The Write To File detection seems to be going off clearly. Am using Snaz as a timer and am trying to time switching between scenes using a count up click but it is triggering like 8 seconds early. How else can I contact you to get this resolved?
Edit: So sorry, I feel like an idiot now. Got it fixed.

I made this post a few days ago that I'd appreciate help with. I installed the Linux .SO for Advanced Scene Switcher in the OBS-PLUGINS directory but nothing new shows up under the Tools menu. I fiddled with file permissions for the .SO file and restarted OBS but nothing gets Advanced Scene Switcher to appear under Tools. Basically, I'm just trying to solve the known issue where "Automatic Scene Switcher" does not properly recognize all open windows (across all Ubuntu-Linux desktops). Would appreciate any suggestions.

I notice that the git repository for this plugin has had a number of commits made to it since the last release, some of which appear to fix OBS crashing bugs. I'm having OBS crash quite frequently and do use Advanced Scene Switcher which one of the devs suggested was the cause for frequent crashes in the past. I'm wondering if there are any plans to release an updated version of this plugin with the existing fixes in the future, or if there is a beta release available somewhere perhaps?
Thank you for developing this, it's very cool and useful! Any response is very much appreciated!
Take care.

These changes should be included already.
No further updates are planned, sorry.
Can you describe how to reproduce the crashes?

Ah, I must have misunderstood the release dates compared to git. Thanks for the info.
I don't currently have an easily reproducible test case that I could give, but if I'm able to isolate something in the future I'll try to provide details that are hopefully useful. Thanks for the fast response!

A desire I constantly run into (and see occasionally mentioned) is having a way to auto-switch scenes based on a pixel-match of a small screen region (aka capture source pixels). My primary use is to block-out certain screen pixels I don't want on stream, but only when certain game dialog/UI elements are visible.
I think this could be done pretty naturally by adding a "Content Check" video source filter which would (soft) match against a (small) set of captured reference pixels. This way, one could use the existing video source filter stack to crop/chroma/mask out the appropriate pixels before the check occurs. The match decision could be written to pixel (0,0) as red or green (in practice maybe a 8x8 set of pixels so it was more visible). Scene Switcher would have a new UI to "switch to scene-xyz when source-abc content check matches".
The "content check" source would be at the bottom of the viewport stack so it would not be visible, and just about the only caveat I can see is if OBS does something "too smart" about not processing a video source if it's not visible.. but I don't think it does this.
I wrote up some more details here:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/issues/13
I Don't know the OBS or Scene Switcher code.. but if you don't jump on this as a super awesome addition soon, I'll slog through and learn enough to try and add this.

Hi, i have a logic issue and i don't know HOW and IF is possible to resolve it.
I have p1.exe and p2.exe, and i have scene1, scene2 and scene3.
This is what i want:
1) If p1.exe then scene1;
2) If p2.exe then scene2 for 10 seconds, and after switch to scene3;
It works if i put:
1) Window tile: p1.exe->scene1
2) Window tile: p2.exe->scene2
3) Scene Sequence: scene2->10sec->scene3
The issue is when scene2 goes to scene3, p2.exe is still active, so scene3 appear for just 1msec and scene2 is again the active scene.
I tried changing the priority of methods, but Scene Sequence can only be manually interrupted or pausing/stopping. Is there another solution? Can you permit to cancel the Scene Sequence if there's another method with higher priority?

Hi guys,
I'm using the plugin and it seems very complete to me, however in the "Scene Sequence" option it doesn't give me the possibility to insert a duration longer than 10 seconds (see the screenshot).
I also believe that the possibility of using the duration of a movie as a switch criterion could be useful. For example, if I want to show 10 movies in sequence, it would be useful to be able to switch from one movie to another when every single movie ends.
Would it be possible to introduce these functions?
Thanks for the good work.

Hi. I just started using your plug in and I have a doubt. I went to transitions and added my custom transitions, however there is no hot key for me to use them. Because whenever I use the transition of obs my custom transitions don't show. If there is a hot key function where I can just press it and Advanced scene switcher transition plays while switching rather than obs? It works when I put conditions on it on other tabs but I can't change scenes manually
Dear community,
I use the Advanced Scene Switcher for three scenes. Two of them (scenes 1 & 2) run alternately in the scene sequence. The third scene is faded using transition if a file content of a .txt file changes.
The problem is the transition from alternating scenes 1 & 2 to the third file dependent scene. As soon as the file is written, the scene sequencer waits for the next change (e.g. from scene 1 to scene 2), but then jumps back to the previous scene (e.g. scene 1) and only then makes the transition to file-dependent scene 3.
Is there a trick to force the scene sequencer to transition to scene 3 immediately?

Hello, I've managed to compile it manually and it works for me on 24.0.5 running macOS 10.15.2. Yo can download the binary here: https://github.com/ijaureguialzo/SceneSwitcher/releases

Hello, guys, I have tried to install the advanced scene switcher in 24.0.6 following the instruction for 24.0.5. It did not work. My macOS version is 10.13.6. I have Eclipse Pydev Python 3.8 installed. It may need re-compile. I don't know the IDE to compile the source.
If anyone would help, that will be great.

Launch it on command-line and paste the output on an issue in my repository so we can have a look at the errors it throws, otherwise is a bit difficult to debug.
