@AdmiralFunghie and @KattPhloxworthy, assuming you have backed up your settings, would you be willing to try to reproduce the problem with this version of the plugin?

It changes the type of dialog used to show the backup message to not block the rest of the OBS UI.
I hope that should solve this problem.

I am not sure why this problem was introduced to be honest.
If I had to guess the problem was always there, but now some timing changed.
Sorry about that and thanks for you help in getting this resolved! :)

I am indeed logged into Github, so I will grab a copy right now.

(Insert mind-numbingly stupid Spongebob Squarepants "A time period later..." meme here...)

I just tried the prerelease version and it seems to work just fine. OBS Studio fully opened, then the backup dialog comes up, and I'm allowed to make that backup the newly-installed plugin wanted me to make. Then I'm allowed to go about my OBS Studio-type business per usual.

Let me know if you need anything further!

Yup, always logged into GH. Got the latest and it worked as expected. Got the backup message etc.

Tested a few Macros, including ones that display system tray messages. They work fine.

Thank you.

I always have an annoyance with system tray messages, in that they display for too long, (5 seconds)... So, if I trigger two Macros quite quickly, the tray message for the first one displays and then the second one displays after 5 seconds.

It would be nice to have control how long the tray messages display for as they are very useful, but I guess this is a Windows framework thing. (I have looked into this and seems the least amount is 5 seconds - which what I have - and there seems to be no way to change it less even using registry.)

Greetings. Unfortunately, I'm here to report that the Scene Switcher isn't detecting if the mic/aux is muted anymore.

I have a macro set up to mute or unmute the mic when switching to a given scene. And for some reason it now thinks that the mic/aux is unmuted no matter what. I don't know exactly when this started happening, but I know it didn't used to do this. Updating to the latest version didn't help.

You can see in the attachment how the "current state" of unmuted is flashing green with the Mic/Aux below the window still being muted. Also, I attached a log if it'll help.

If anyone here has any advice, thanks in advice.

That screenshot doesn't have the mic selected:
"Configured volume level of --select source-- is unmuted"

Maybe that's the problem?

Woowwwww, I must be losing it. lol

I definitely had it set to Mic/Aux before and then it somehow just up and vanished. Weird. My brain was just filling in what was supposed to be there. Thanks.

Latest update is causing OBS to crash on start here. Removed Advanced Scene Switcher and OBS starts fine. tested multiple times.

I see the message from Advanced Scene Switcher asking to backup settings on launch of PBS, but do not see OBS itself. It then crashes.



Maybe the issue is the backup message itself.

I put the plugin files back and now OBS starts but there was no backup message from Advanced Scene Switcher and all my Macros have gone.

I am also experiencing this (same? related?) issue with the Flatpak version on Fedora Silverblue, except OBS just silently fails to launch:

 

[Warmuptill]

Warmuptill updated Advanced Scene Switcher with a new update entry:

Advanced scene switcher 1.24.2

Important notes:​

Please make sure to back up your settings!
If you run into any issues, please either post in the OBS forums or create an issue on GitHub!

Note for MacOS users...

Read the rest of this update entry...

I am also experiencing this (same? related?) issue with the Flatpak version on Fedora Silverblue, except OBS just silently fails to launch:

I just now released version 1.24.2, which contains the fix for this problem. (Flatpak was updated as well)
Sorry about that!

 

[Warmuptill]

Now if that build also has a way to get the "name of scene item number x" I'd feel all-powerful! :)

A build with this functionality is available here in a few minutes:

My ancient account with like 3 posts is a testament to the reilability of your work! I'm afraid I'm still experiencing this issue, though. The core dump error is the same, and I forgot to note before that OBS logs end with

It works like a charm. I can just put sources in my "player" scene and grab their settings no matter their name now, awesome! Together with being able to get the source count my player macros now feel like an actual vlc player, I can just drop sources in there and they get picked up automatically, nice. Thanks again for your work!

Can you post your macros please? I had a hard time understanding what that feature was needed for, but the way you describe the result sounds attractive to me too. Thanks!

Sure, it works best when you create these beforehand:

Variables:
PlayerSelectedNumber
PlayerCurrentNumber
PlayerPlaylistSize
PlayerTrackName
PlayerSourceName

Scene:
Player

Also, when importing, I don't know if sceneswitcher still does that, but you might have to re-map macro calls that call macros that are imported. That is, in the "Player GO" macro the "Player Play" macro is called but when importing that macro doesn't exist yet so its left empty. You have to set it again, maybe in a few other places too, not sure.

Heres the import code for the macros - they will only work with that build above currently:

In that case the issue is probably something else.
Unfortunately, the core dump does not really point in any particular direction.

Does it help if you open your scene collection json file (please back it up beforehand) and remove the "version" field of the "advanced-scene-switcher" block?

What was the last version where you did not face this issue?

Can you share the plugin settings you are using? (Doesn't need to be here - feel free to send me a DM)

I really appreciate your help! If I roll back my system, everything works normally and I can even successfully update the plugin, so I don't even know where to begin to look for the problem. It did not help to remove the version field in the json file.

Here's the last adv-ss backup I was prompted to make. Again, this issue just appeared with the latest update of Fedora Silverblue, but I've been using the plugin for years and years including through a major OS version update (F38-F39) with no issues. OBS runs without issues in safe mode or with adv-ss uninstalled.

this issue just appeared with the latest update of Fedora Silverblue

Ah, thanks for pointing that out!

So just to clarify:
There is a configuration which works with OBS 30 and Advanced scene switcher 1.24.2, and the only change leading to the crash was the update of the OS?

If so, I will try to setup a VM during the weekend to replicate and investigate the issue.
And just to be sure: Is Fedora Silverblue 39 the correct version to use?

OBS 30, yes, and the last adv-ss I tried was 1.23.1 which I updated to 1.24.0 and both worked fine before the OS update yes - to further clarify, it wasn't the major version upgrade. I had already done that and things were still working as of Silverblue 39.20231128.0 (2023-11-28T00:51:38Z).

 

[TheMegaXandy]

I'm having a problem using the plugin's "Run" action. For example, I have a cmd command that I would like to run:

piper --model pt_BR-faber-medium.onnx --output_file TTS-generating.wav < text.txt && del TTS.wav && rename TTS-generating.wav TTS.wav

How do I adapt this to the plugin's "Run" action?
I also have another simpler cmd command, which I was not successful in:

del TTS.wav

Both commands take a specific folder to be executed.
Note that the commands work properly in a command prompt window. So there is nothing wrong with the command syntax, nor with the exe file being executed.
