First let me say this plugin in amazing.
I am trying to build a macro that starts and stops streaming every 24 hours or so. The macro seems to work the first time around but then fails to start the stream the second time around. See the image below. I set the timer to just 30 sec for testing purposes. I start streaming and the macro starts to run. The Timer elapses and the macro stops streaming, waits for 3 sec. resets the timer and starts streaming again, then the timer elapses and the macro stops streaming, waits for 3 sec. resets the timer, but then fails to start streaming the second time around. Any ideas how to fix this?

Sorry about the delayed response.
I would guess that stopping the stream might take longer than three seconds so the "Start streaming" action cannot be completed.
Give you give using a bigger delay (30s or so) a try?

I also thought that might be it, so we did a 1 min wait and it still did not work. One thing to note is that the first time around it successfully stops waits 3 sec. and starts the stream again. So the 3 sec. wait works the first time but then when the timer ends the second time it stops the stream, waits, resets the timer but fails to start the stream.

Hm, interesting.
Can you share a OSB log file of such an occurrence?

Here is the log file. Sorry if this is not the best way to share this.
I manually start the streaming the first time, this triggers Advanced Scene Switcher to start and the macro runs starting the timer. The timer ends, streaming stops, waits 3 sec., resets the timer, starts the stream, the timer runs out, stops the stream, resets the timer, but never starts the stream a 2nd time.

14:24:45.179: [adv-ss] detected busy loop - refusing to sleep less than 1msSomething tells me that the problem might be in that trigger. Like it's getting retriggered when it doesn't need to, and that's getting things confused. I have Adv-SS running all the time, not triggered by anything. What do your settings look like for that?

I have ASS stopped at first. I had Automatically start scene switcher when Streaming. So I changed my settings to match what you have and restarted OBS and tested again but still the same issue. It does not trigger Start Streaming the second time around just the first. I know the Macro is still running because it is stopping the stream and resetting the timer. I have tested this same macro on multiple machines and have the issue. Are you able to re-produce this same result?

I think I might have found a bug which might lead to the behaviour you described.
A build with a fix should be available here in a few minutes:

Let me know if this resolves the problem you were facing.
For a bit of background of what lead to this error:
I put a safeguard in place to prevent the user from continuously attempting to start the stream if no valid stream configuration is set up, as this would lead to an error to pop up every few hundred milliseconds.
But this safeguard was not reset properly leading to each second attempt to start streaming to fail.
Ah! That would do it too. And good thinking to avoid "pop-up spam".

Hi, this is a fantastic plugin. Really love it and am getting great results with the Audio section flicking scene's based on Mic levels.
Thank you so much for making this and the support offered on here. Above and beyond.
One question that's possibly been asked already: is there logic possible in the audio section, whereby we can set an And, OR or NOR rule based on different Audio inputs to pick separate Scenes etc?? Two mics at the same time ( 1 AND 2) always force a particular scene one OR other Mic another scene etc??
Thanks again.

The functionality you are looking for exists but not on the Audio tab.
Have a look at the "Macro" tab.
This should allow you to configure what you are looking for (and much more).
For a quick introduction on how to create a macro take a look at this guide.
Let me know if you have any questions.

This is superb.... But a little intimidating now.
I've set up some Audio based Macros and they are working. I changed the order in the General Tab to get Macro to the highest prominence and then I assume the same applies in the Macro order itself??
See Below. I have Audio Macro 1 which I hope will fire first and so on down my list of scenes I want to fire. It is a bit jumpy and the scenes are a bit hectic in the switches but that's likely trial and error. Has anyone set up a multi audio switch using Macros before??
Very grateful for this. Thank you.

Correct - the macros are executed from top to bottom.
Just guessing, but I assume the reason for this might be that multiple macros are true at the same time.
It might be worth adding an additional check to the end of the condition list to see if the scene was changed already.
Otherwise the first might switch to scene 1, and afterwards the second macro might immediately switch to scene 2, and so on ... leading to these "hectic" scene switches.
Example:
Alternatively you can also add "time restrictions" to your conditions so they do not immediately trigger.

Yes indeed. There may have been overlapping 'True' Macros. As I said, this will be trial and error.
I'll try your fix above now. Also for "Automated scene change was triggered in this interval" what is the 'Interval'??
Is it the Three seconds timer for Mic/aux X to hit X% and trigger??
Sorry, trying to get a better understanding as this Plugin will allow me to almost fully automate my OBS stream. It's fantastic.

The plugin will check all conditions and perform actions (if applicable) at a set interval. (Every 300 ms per default - This interval can be configured on the General tab)
Using the "Automated scene change was triggered in this interval" condition type will allow you to limit the amount of scene switches to one per interval.
It is not related to any time restrictions for any macro conditions you might have in place.
