Advanced Scene Switcher 1.28.1

[Warmuptill]

Thank you very very much. Just got it, I YT how to make it switch my scenes automatically like it used to but this layout is a bit different and I'm having p problems. Would anyone be interested in telling me what to do to make it so my scenes switch auto without a macro? That's how i had it before. I'm a Dj streamer and this is really getting to me. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated..

BTW this is what I've done, just so you know what your working with, if anyone decides to help me out
!) I went to General and set my time for 300ms and made sure it was running,
2) I went to scene groups and added all my cams that i made scenes of.
3) Then i went to the left side of the scene group [page and in "type" i put 3s (just so i could see if it was working and didnt have to sit here for 3 min looking at my monitor. then i went to "add scene and put ALL the scens in order that i wold like them to go to.
40 I did the above step for all 4 scenes

Scene Groups is not what you are looking for to achieve this (see later part of this reply)

Hello!
Pre OBS 28 I used Advanced Scene Switcher for it's sequence functionality.
Was this function removed? Is there a way I can auto-switch to scenes on different time intervals for each scene? (like, scene A to B in 1 min, B to C in 10s, C to D in 2 min etc)

Thanks!

The "old" tabs are only hidden - the functionality is still there.
To show them again uncheck "Hide tabs which can be represented via macros".

If you want to use macros instead of the Seqence tab you can have a look at this example:

Cheers for the very quick reply! Not long after my post I indeed found the option of achieving the scene switching via macros. Cheers!

As previously mentioned:
Scene Groups are not the way to go.

And as you do not want to use Macros:
The old Sequence tab is only hidden.
To show it again uncheck "Hide tabs which can be represented via macros".

Does this help you?
If not, what is unclear? / Which steps do you need help with?

Recently upgraded to the latest version of scene switcher and I'm noticing some odd residual behavior based on some old settings. I had a bunch of timed movements in the old scene switcher that I can't seem to find in the new version, but exporting the settings I can see "delay" commands. Is there any way other than removing them and creating new macros that I can get these old settings to show up? They still are effective in moving scenes after X seconds.... Kinda confused lol

I found the "hide tabs" checkbox to resolve this issue. I'd like to delete my previous post but can't lol

That's okay. Lots of other people have commented on that as well. And we have a record of all of it.

Given Warmuptill's goal of reducing the things that need to be maintained without actually losing any functionality, I think it was the right decision to make the default the way it is and provide an option to go back, but it does take some getting used to. It'll settle down eventually.

Am I crazy? I installed the "Advanced Scene Switcher" from the "Go to downloads" link and went through the normal unzip process only to find that it installed "AUTOMATIC Scene Switcher" instead. I tried again using the windows installer package and got the same results. The screen looks nothing like the grabs located at the start of this thread.

I am trying to use this to have a specific scene go live at a specific time on a given day and have that repeat weekly.
e.g. I want my "live stream" scene to be fired exactly at 6:30PM on Wednesday nights.
How would you go about doing that? Thanks.

The "automatic scene switcher" is a pre-installed plug in from OBS. Using the download link should work to install the plugin. If you haven't restarted OBS, I would start there.

What doesn't work? Is it something we just finished discussing? (scroll up) Or is it something else? More details would be nice.

Was not the issues listed above. Does not function since update. Reinstalled, did not run installer, searched through every file for a auto installer, was none. Can not get it to work now. If anyone can help me install, would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Can you please share an OBS log file?
This should allow me to check if the plugin is found at all and maybe something prevented it from being loaded.

Can you please do the same and also share an OBS log file?

You will have to create a macro and use the "date" condition to trigger a "streaming" action.

HI everyone, I wanted to achieve something that this guy did but I am lost on how he achieve it. Can anyone help me?

I'd like to record a screencast in which I'll use multiple windows, but I still want to be able to do some things 'off camera'... The source that let's you record a specific window won't help me as I want to record multiple windows (e.g. browser, text editor, terminal, etc.), and the source...

There are several parts to that. Which one is giving you trouble?

If I understand the other thread correctly you can do something similar to this:

But as already mentioned by @AaronD a similar effect can be achieved in many different ways.
For a general overview of macros have a look at this wiki page:

Greetings. Thanks for the awesome plug-in.

I have local browser sources and I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically refresh the source if I update the HTML file. For instance, if I have a banner that says "Playing X" and I change the game title, the Scene Switcher would be "monitoring" it so to speak and know to update it.

So I came up with "(If not) content of local file matches" + "Refresh Source Settings", but I can't quite get it to work right. It has the "if modification date changed" or "if content changed" checkboxes, but those don't seem to do anything on their own. I have to paste the browser's HTML in the text box for it to check if it matches for it to update anything. A tad clunky, but it works in a pinch.

However, that only works if I change the file once. Once the file has been flagged as "different", then the macro won't fire again unless I go in manually to adjust what text the switcher is looking for. And I have to keep "Perform actions only on condition change" checked or else it just refreshes indefinitely.

Is there something else I can try? Or am I asking for a new feature update where the switcher can generally monitor for file changes?

You can use "regular expressions" to have the file condition match any file content.

The "." stands for any character and the "*" specifies that "any charachter" can be used any amount of times.
Does this help?

Sorry, but I don't think so.

I need to trigger the macro if something in the HTML file changes. But if I change the HTML file once, then it won't update again unless I go back into the scene switcher to change something about the macro. That's because it already no longer "matches" what the text box is looking for. So to the macro itself, the job is already done.

Is there something I can use to tell the macro to trigger when anything about a file is modified regardless of text matching?
