Hey, thanks again ArronD!
Tried it this way last night and it worked. Failed to work again this morning.
Funny thing though, when I moved the mouse, two minutes later the start streaming macro kicked on. Even funnier, the stop streaming macro clearly worked before my mouse movement as I was still in bed when all the streams stopped...
I walked over to the machine at 07:59 and all the streams had been stopped... I waited until 08:00 expecting all the streams to start and nothing... gave it an extra minute, still nothing. Moved the mouse at 08:01. At ~08:03, streams started...
There must be something going on with an idle state somewhere. Although all sleeping, hibernate and suspend has been disabled on this system. I have just installed Caffeine and a mouse jiggler and I will see what happens again at 4pm.
Weird that STOP works but not START...
I was just going to suggest the mouse jiggler too.
And you're right. That is weird. Gotta be a bug somewhere, but we still don't know where.
I would like to switch to the next scene only when the looping video reaches its end (before looping again).
I haven't thought of performing this this way, I will give it a try and let you know if it works.

I don't want to speak too soon but I think you were on to something here... Particularly on your first point.
I have now had two, fully successful, back-to-back rotations of both the start and stop macros. Although as I mentioned earlier, I did add Caffeine and a jiggler, I'm still not convinced that a stale, sleep, or idle state was the problem.
However, I did notice some different behavior based on your suggestion to start streaming after a stopped state trigger... I set the wait interval to 2 minutes and it always takes longer than two minutes. About 4, more or less. So along with your suggestion above, I think I figured out why.
On all my tests, I simply throw up a feed for a few minutes, let the macro stop it, wait the two minutes and then the start macro fires off. Works every time I'm sitting at the computer but, not because the computer is not idle. It works because the video that I'm stopping is only, at most, 15 minutes long, for testing!!!
As you can imagine, a video that is 8 hours long is going to have to do substantially more parsing of buffers and "wrapping up" before OBS is satisfied that the stream has actually ended. This is, of course, assuming that OBS is waiting for this response (which I am not sure of but it definitely sounds reasonable). I've arrived at this conclusion because why would the START macro, which is set for two minutes, fire off in 4? The only thing that makes sense to me is that the STOP macro fires but the "stop state" isn't actually "true" until about 2 minutes after. Aaaaaand...2+2=4, as they say...literally. Makes sense to me anyway.
Anyhow, so far so good. I'll check back in in a few days to confirm all is well.
Thank you again AaronD!! I appreciate all of your time, effort and patience!
One other thing. The reason it wasn't working before and why I think there was no error, is because "technically" we were still streaming when the "start streaming" macro fired off... Would be nice if there was a log entry that said so, but hey, what would we need the obs project forums for, right?? HAHAHA!!!
The macro pause tips is brilliant. Thanks for that.
The rest is not working as I want it to.
It is interrupting the playing video everytime I run the macro.
I wanna run the macro, and the scene switching should not happen before the end of the video.
It didn't when I tried it. You can scroll back to see my version.

Thank you very much for adding "Days of the week" to the macros
I'd been moving them to each date manually up until now, but I've macros that automate certain tasks depending on which day of the week it is, and this will make it even less overhead now that it's taking care of all that for me.
(E.g. My wife isn't in the stream on Wednesdays, so her camera and mic are automatically toggled off. The title card we use is different each day of the week, etc. Could I just click on a different scene depending on the day? Yeah. But that'd result in a ton of extra scenes. Plus, it's all automated thanks to this plugin, so it rotates through the scenes itself)

Looking for help regarding How to create a Basic Macro to simply switch from scene_1 to scene_2 and back to scene_1?
There's a camera in scene_1 & a camera in scene_2. That's it.
Please accept my apologies if I am in the wrong area?
Thank You for anything you can do for me!
Sincerely!

Here's what I do and why I need your help please?
New to the Advanced Scene Switcher....
Need the Macro code for simply switching between five cameras without Hotkeys?
My intentions are to record a 90 second video that automatically switches between five separate scenes with a single camera in each?
Thank you for any help you may provide....

Hello Warmuptill,
I have a question about Advancer Scene Switcher 1.17.7. When I entry in the main menu I only have 4 options, General, Macro, Red and Scene Groups.
After, If I move my mouse with wheel, suddenly appears the rest of options. You can see the attach. May be a bug or Do I have a problem with something?
Thanks you so much.

You can show the old tabs by unchecking the following option on the General tab.

I try to setup to play my intro (mp4 or webm File) when I switch from Live Start to Live Lobby or Live Game. But I only get a infity loop of the video.
I alternatively could set a stinger and only play when I switch away from Live Start - but I don't know how to create it.
Please help me to achive my goal.
Thanks in advnaced.

Do you switch scenes manually, and want the intro video to effectively be an elaborate transition? If so, then you might create two scenes that both have that video in it, switch manually to one of *those*, and then switch automatically from that to your ultimate target scene.
5 scenes total:
- Live Start
- Intro to Live Lobby (end of video switches automatically to Live Lobby)
- Intro to Live Game (end of video switches automatically to Live Game)
- Live Lobby
- Live Game
Your hotkeys, or whatever method you use, switch to the "Intro to..." scenes, and not the final destinations.
---
Note: "Play Video" does not mean "show the video to the audience". You show a *scene* to the audience, which can contain anything you want, essentially "PowerPoint style" but with media instead of just text and clipart. "Play Video" simply starts the video running, wherever it happens to be in that structure. It does not necessarily show it to the audience.

More leen? What's that?
Anyway, if I understand you correctly, I don't know of a way to do that, except to make some overly-complicated scenes. There might be a literal transition that you can install and use, that plays an arbitrary video file, but I think the better way to do it is to have a bunch of trivial scenes like I suggested above. That also answers the follow-up question of how to transition into and out of the intro video, as the normal transitions become available for this, just like anything else.
As for why it's looping without the box being checked, I don't know either. I suspect, mostly by the terminology that you use, that you fundamentally misunderstand how the tools work and what the labels mean (everyone has to start somewhere), and so you've inadvertently created a Rube-Goldberg loop.
One possible explanation is that your macro is getting triggered more than you realize (the condition IS technically true...), and so a repeated Play command looks like a loop.
