Advanced Scene Switcher 1.28.1

[rusty1]

On a Mac, when I right-click one of my Macros, and the "create copy" option pops up, I can not click that button. It makes an error sound whenever I try to. If someone knows how to fix this, it would be amazing to have access to that feature.

Looks like you have to hold down right click on MacOS for some strange reason to be able to interact with the context menus.
I will try to find a solution to this.

Great to know! I see that I can quickly release and re-click the right mouse button to achieve a copy. Thank you

Hi, this might seem silly. I have used Advanced Scene Switcher last Tuesday. Today, I was trying to configure it for other scenes, but when I go to Tools -> Advanced Scene Switcher, OBS does not let me click on any part of the screen, only get the sound as when you click outside of an open dialog box (you need to close it before clicking somewhere else), and I don't see the Adv Scene Switcher screen. I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled. I reinstalled OBS and reinstalled Adv Scene Switcher but no use. I must kill OBS from the Task Manager.
I cannot understand what changed to rever it to working again, as this is a must plugin!!
BTW, congratulations for the splendid work and updates.
Regards

Thanks for reporting the issue!
This seems very strange indeed.

Just to clarify - is OBS crashing when you try to open the plugin or was this crash log produced as a result of killing the process?

Just a random guess judging by the crash report:
Did you maybe change your monitor setup and enabled the option "Save window position and size" on the general tab of the plugin?

Can you share the settings you are currently using?
They can usually be found in the following location on windows systems:
C:\Users\<you username here>\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\basic\scenes\<your scene collection name here>.json
You of course don't have to share your settings here and can just send me a direct message.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
OBS runs ok. When I try to open the plugin (I have already done this on last Tue without any problems), it stops responding and crashes. Then, the only way to go on, is just killing the OBS process thru Task Manager. Cannot close the window on the task bar, nor close with the X.

Did you maybe change your monitor setup and enabled the option "Save window position and size" on the general tab of the plugin?
Bingo! yes, I did that!!! And I had 2 monitors, and it was running in the 2nd monitor, that I have now disconnected from the PC.

Is there any config file where I can change that setting? I am quite sure that changing that will make it work again. It was my fault to set that to run in the 2nd monitor and disconnect it. I was trying to create the scenes sequence and plug the 2nd monitor when the time was due. Just let me know if this is possible (changing any line) or I need to reconnect the 2nd monitor to change that.

I write it here, publicly, as I take all the blame for this issue. The plug in is working as great as always!!

Thanks,
Gabriel

There is indeed a setting for that in the files i mentioned.
For example for me the file would be:
C:\Users\Till\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\basic\scenes\Untitled.json
In there look for "saveWindowGeo":true and replace it with "saveWindowGeo":false.

>I write it here, publicly, as I take all the blame for this issue.
That's not your fault.
The plugin should be able to handle that - I just haven't thought about such cases.

It did it!!! Thanks a lot!

Didn't read all 58 pages (!), so apologies if this has been asked and solved before.

Anyway, it seems that the File tab can't be told not to write to a file. By default, it doesn't, but once there's a path in there, it can't be disabled again; only changed. A blank path simply reverts to the last non-blank; and putting a space in there for something that looks blank, actually creates a file named " " and continues writing to that!

How can I get it back to the default of not writing a file at all? Thanks!

You are actually the first person to ask this :)

This is unintended behaviour but for now you can just enter an invalid path, for example just a space.
I will make sure to change this in a future release.

A space is actually valid, as it turns out. It creates a file with that name in the working directory of the script that started OBS. (I might not have noticed if I had started it from the system menu)

I guess I'll use /dev/null for now.

Ah, I just assumed you were using Windows. ;)

Hi, I wanted to ask if there's anyway to swap scenes based on my internet browser (opera GX) url that's open

I mean, I wan't to have different scenes on the same website, problem is website doesn't actually change it's title depending on what I'm browsing, but url does change.

Is there any way to do that?

Unfortunately I do not think so.
Unless this browser happens to have an option to write the current url to a file automatically I don't know of a good way to interact with the browser itself.

I am not sure if it is feasible for your use case but maybe you could try matching the content that is shown on the website using this plugin:

Thanks for your help, problem with Pixel Match Switcher is I don't really understand how to install it and it's not clear on how to do so

Hello, I am re-looking at OBS as a longtime vMix user. This plug in is very nice, but one thing I can't seem to do is:
Media file end switch to "Preview". it works perfect with the options there, but I REALLY need to go to what is in preview. Is this possible?

That would be another nice feature that I don't see currently. There is a "Previous" option though, which is not the same thing, but close enough for my specific purpose. (rocking back and forth between the same camera and a selection of videos) And of course, you can always have it go to a specific scene regardless of what's in the Preview or Previous, like I do to start the show after the intro bumper, but that doesn't work for everything either.

It would be great to set up an arbitrary next scene while a video is playing, for example, and then have it switch to that when the video is done.

It would also be nice to have a generic trigger for *any* media being done, so I don't have to manually set that up every time I add a new video.

(If I keep selecting videos as the next scene, this combination could go on forever. Likewise if I play at least two videos back to back and then do nothing. In that case, it would rock between the last two videos because the one that just finished goes to the Preview and gets switched to again, ad infinitum.)

It would be great to set up an arbitrary next scene while a video is playing, for example, and then have it switch to that when the video is done.

Maybe make an empty scene, set the Scene Switcher go to that scene when the video ends, and while the video is playing take a few seconds to add any other scene you want to that empty scene.
