I ofen record live shows with two camera simultaneously. At the same moment, I live streaming the show with OBS.
During the live streaming, I do scene (camera) switch between the two camera, via Advanced scene switcher.

My problem is:
Afther the live show, when I do Post-editing in premiere, I have to MANUALLY do camera swithch again..
Is there any possibility to save the log of scene-swith during the live streaming ? XML format would be great., so that I can import to Premiere.

( I know OBS can record the streaming show directly. But for the best video quality, and to fix those unexpected mistake during streaming, I need do post-edit with camera's original material. )

The easiest way is probably to simply use the "Log" action type to write a log message to the OBS log.
These messages will be timestamped automatically.

You can find the OBS log files under Help -> Log Files -> Show Log Files.

You could of course also write to a custom file by using the "File" option but you will have to handle the time stamps yourself.

Is there any way to trigger a macro based on whether an audio source is muted or unmuted?
It does not seem to be available under the "Audio" trigger. I tried using the Audio>Output Volume, but even if the source is muted, it still shows output volume.

First off, let me echo so many others - thank you so much for creating this plugin, it fundamentally changes my usage of OBS and enables me to stream in a way that would otherwise be impossible.

After years of using this plugin on Windows, I'm trying to get things working on Linux. I've installed OBS Studio via the Linux Mint Software Manager, which appears to install the flatpack version. Everything works fine until I install the Advanced Scene Switcher. After installing, OBS fails to launch. Running in a terminal gives the following error if run in an rdp session with dummy audio:

ALSA lib ../../../src/seq/seq_hw.c:466:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'libremidi::driver_error'
what(): observer_alsa: snd_seq_open failed

This line precedes the error:

info: [adv-ss] attempting to load "/app/plugins/lib/obs-plugins/adv-ss-plugins/advanced-scene-switcher-midi.so"

If I run it in a normal session, it just hangs on this line.

I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. I did try installing the plugin manually before realizing that the software manager had installed the flatpak version and accordingly I could install the plugin via the flatpak command, which is how we came to the current state. That is to say, it's possible that I've put some of the plugin files in folders that I've forgotten about somewhere on the system, possibly contributing to my issue.

I'm pretty new to linux so please accept my apologies if I've left out important or useful information and thank you in advance.

That could indeed be a problem with the midi plugin of the advanced scene switcher.
Can you share the complete log file just in case it contains additional information?

As a quick workaround you could simply remove the "advanced-scene-switcher-midi.so" file, if you don't rely on the MIDI functionality offered by the plugin.
Unfortunately, I am not sure where exactly it is stored for flatpak installations.

I will try to look into fixing this issue as soon as I can and release a fix.

Complete log file attached here. I'll see if I can locate where the file is and remove or rename it, and I'll report back with my findings, assuming I'm able to do so.

I located the file at this location:

/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.SceneSwitcher/x86_64/stable/active/files/lib/obs-plugins/adv-ss-plugins

Removing the advanced-scene-switcher-midi.so file from that folder does in fact allow OBS to launch correctly and, at least at first blush, Advanced Scene Switcher seems ready to do everything that I want it to. Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Using the "Window>focus window" action does not trigger a change of windows (on Windows 11 at least).
For example, if trying to trigger to focus the OBS window, the program will be highlighted in the taskbar, but the window does not come into focus.
I am using a two-monitor setup, with the secondary display used for OBS Multiview.
Any suggestions? Could this be a Windows 11 setting?

This mentions that "The focus, maximize, minimize, and close options will now be performed on all windows matching the given window title instead of only the first one being found."

However, it still does not bring the main window into focus. I have the Window>focus window: "OBS" action.

There should be another entry which looks something like this:

Just "OBS" is something else.

Hm ... I am not sure what is causing that.
Is the issue resolved if you install the most recent version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable?

I apologize for not having caught those issues!

This works better. The minimize and maximize actions now work.
However "focus window" only brings up the taskbar (it's set to hide automatically for me) with OBS icon blinking in red. The actual OBS window does not come to the foreground.

Thanks for giving it a try!

Hm ... that is really strange.
In what "state" is the OBS window when you are trying to focus it?
I still have trouble replicating the issue on my end.
