Perhaps post a couple of screen shots showing your macro. You can copy/paste right into the forum. A picture might be easier to pick out issues

Yep, this is the example

Is there a way, or could it be added :), a way to run a windows CMD directly from AdvSS?
Currently I use the FILE command to echo out the code syntax to a .bat file, then use the RUN command to execute it.

I am not sure to honest.
If I would do that I would likely have to support all kinds of shells / environments to avoid confusion, which I would want to avoid.

You could however "build your own" action type using the scripting interface.
I assume something like this could do the trick:

Python: 
import obspython as obs

# Required by advss helpers
import threading
from typing import NamedTuple

# Required for the custom action
import subprocess

###############################################################################

# Define the settings available for the user for this action type
def get_action_properties():
    props = obs.obs_properties_create()
    obs.obs_properties_add_text(props, "script_to_run", "Script", obs.OBS_TEXT_MULTILINE)
    return props


# Set default values for each setting
def get_action_defaults():
    default_settings = obs.obs_data_create()
    obs.obs_data_set_default_string(default_settings, "script_to_run", "echo \"hello world!\"")
    return default_settings


# The settings for each instance of this action the will be passed in the
# "data" argument
def run_cmd_action(data, instance_id):
    script = obs.obs_data_get_string(data, "script_to_run")
    # Build a single line command to run
    command = " & ".join(script.splitlines())
    result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
    obs.script_log(obs.LOG_INFO, result.stdout)
    obs.script_log(obs.LOG_INFO, result.stderr)

###############################################################################


def script_load(settings):
    # Register the custom action
    advss_register_action(
        "CMD",
        run_cmd_action,
        get_action_properties,
        get_action_defaults(),
    )

def script_unload():
    advss_deregister_action("CMD")

I attached the full script to this message. (never mind, can't do that apparently)

Simply import it in the scripts dialog.

Let me know if you run into any issues!

Is it possible to do this within a single macro? I'd love to not have to make a separate one for each program I would like to open at launch, but if I have to then so be it. At least the copy process won't make it too difficult.

I don't think something like this is possible in a single macro.

Just for my understanding: What are your exact concerns with splitting it up into multiple macros?
If you simply don't want to "clutter" the macro list with too many macros you can group those macros:

Hello! Thank you so much for the plugin!
I'm experiencing the difficulties with setting up Macro to make it work. This is what I'm trying to do:
IF: Twitch - [Within the last 10.00 seconds / no duration] - [selected channel] - Points reward redeemed - [selected reward] - Check using account [selected] (all permissions are given)
ACTION: Scene item visibility - [selected scene] - Show - [selected source]

If I click Run Macro it works. If I redeem the selected reward it doesn't work. Any thoughts what can be wrong?
Thank you in advance!

I can't spot any obvious issue in the macro you have set up.

Can you please enable verbose logging and share an OBS log file of when you are trying to reproduce the issue?
Are you able to receive other events like for example "Stream went live" after going live?

Great plugin! I have a few macros that kick off on a scheduled date that work fine but I am not able to setup an automated streaming set of macros. My scenario is that my daughter-in-law is wanting to stream my grandchildren's sporting events to the rest of the family. I have her setup to use vdo.ninja to send video from her phone to OBS and I stream it out via Owncast. I would love to find a way to have it automatically detect that she is sending video to OBS Studio and then kick off a stream and start recording. I have tried detecting video changes and was able to get everything started but I can't find a way to stop it when she stops sending video. I've gotten close, but I think my macros are fighting each other. I turned on Visual settings and I think my Start and Stop macros are firing against each other, causing them to not execute when I expect them to. Not sure what conditions I should use to start on video source sending data and what to use to detect her video has ended and then stop everything. Any ideas on what I could try next?

I THINK I get what you are saying. Take the code, put it into a file called "cmd_action.py"
Load that script into OBS.
Then a "CMD" option should be available. I've tried it a couple of different ways, but I'm not seeing anything appear.
(ran as admin, ran in fresh install etc). What you are showing in your script example above is exactly what I am looking for.

I have uploaded the full script here:

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Please try using that one. :)

How can I go about converting/mapping values from an HTTP GET action of JSON into a variable, or access the JSON response to parse into variables?
Click to expand...
Assuming the GET request returns the json string {"data": "test"} and you would want to access the field named data and assign it to a variable you could use a setup like this:

Can you maybe share screenshots of your macro setup or better export your settings to a file or export the relevant macros and share the import code?

Maybe you could introduce some sort of state handling and pause / unpause the macros which are not relevant to the current state?
(Sorry for being so vague, but I need more information to give concrete tips / instructions :))

Thanks for sharing the log!
It seems like I made a mistake verifying the timestamps sent out by Twitch by not taking time zones into consideration.

A build with a fix will be available here in a few minutes:

Let me know if that should be a problem and I can try to share it via other means.

I would appreciate if you could confirm if this does indeed resolve the issue!
Thanks again! :)

@Warmuptill Thank you for this! This has been helpful!

I am encountering what feels like very inelegant ways to get multiple nested values from the json, I'll post screenshots and examples soon, if there isn't a config file that is easier to post. but basically I have to take the response into a temp and then drill through the temp to each item, and then start the drill from the original response using temp to finally get the value in it's nested depth to the variable du jour.
