First and foremost - thank you for this.
My interest is in the Media Source switching (a recorded video ends, followed by automated scene change ... exactly what I'm looking for)
I am live streaming a broadcast combining live video and pre-recorded content
However, I've come across a number of anomalies with Adv Scene Switcher v1.5. If anyone can help out, I'd appreciate it. Yes, OBS' included Automatic Scene switcher is Inactive. My setup is Win10 Enterprise, OBS 25.0.8 64-bit, Dell mobile Precision 7530 Xeon 6-core, Intel P630 & NVidia Quadro P2000 GPU, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD
This tools' DLL placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit
My machine has MS Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) 14.20.27508 which otherwise seems to be working, so I didn't add the 2017 only version
if any of the following fixed by Adv Scene switcher v1.6, please let me know
1. I currently have over 10+ scene changes to be triggered by video endings
I enter Media scene change details, and the list often doesn't save everything/properly (one or two will go missing)
Or what I entered (and appeared after entering the "+", is slightly changed when I came back to the tool... like a corrupted entry
This last week getting my media source switching list accurate took 20+ tries. The 'errors' are not consistent. I'll add an scene change, leave come back and a different scene change in the list will be missing, or one duplicated, or ?? [very frustrating and time consuming]
[so I only do it as the automation is that valuable to me]
I've gone to screen capturing the list, then comparing/checking each and every time I re-open OBS or make Media Scene switching changes...
Is there a trick to adding entries cleanly and getting them to stick?
Should Adv Scene switcher be stopped before/after/during list edit???
Does closing Tools window via Close button (vs Upper right X on the window) make a difference? Do I need to stop Tool before closing?
Is the list saved someplace I can check/edit outside of the tool (in a DB, or ??)
2. The Media Source switching pull-down list doesn't recognize/include the media sources (videos) in all of the scenes until I play them. ie, when I open OBS and go straight into Adv Scene Switcher - media Source switching tab, most (vast majority) of the videos in the various scenes won't be listed. I have to go to each scene, let the video starting playing, next scene, etc. THEN I can select the videos in the media source switching pull down list
I'm hoping this isn't 'functioning as designed'? Is there another trick (other than my clumsy work-around) to having the videos appear in the media switcher pull-down list?
3. OBS now crashes on every exit. [latest crash log attached]
I've tried stopping Adv Scene Switcher, then closing/exiting, etc... no effect
if a memory corruption issue, maybe this is why I'm having issue #1?
Request for change
- enable editing of media scene changes (vs deleting a media source switch single line item and creating new). For example, double click on line item and it populates the settings in the tool, then change normally, and hit + (if that creates a new item vs overwriting old, I'm fine with that [actually, that would be my recommended behavior]. A user can then easily/quickly delete old line item.
Other -
- {not sure if what I'm looking for already exists natively in OBS, another plug-in, and would be a good addition here. Any advice appreciated} For each new scene, I'd love to have the option to add a page change (next) to be sent to PowerPoint. I saw the recent ppt_slide.py script. I do NOT want/need to use hotkeys or similar to change PPT page. I want the scene change and page change to happen together. I'm thinking either a script/plug-in/something execution as part of (1st action) each scene where I want to trigger the page change. Or when Adv Media switcher changes scenes to also kick off another action (the page change in this case). Anyways... just a thought/suggestion
