I am at a bit off a loss.
The log does unfortunately not give any conclusive hints as to what the problem might be.

Can you please send me an export of your settings?
You can export them to a file on the General tab.
Please send them to me via DM and not here to make sure your Twitch token does not get leaked.

I apologise that it is such a chore to get it working for you for some reason.
I've sended it, ty.

Bug report :
When using condition "If scene has changed" doesn't work if we change it manually in OBS.
It is only taken into account if another macro change it due to actions.

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce this issue.

Which version of the plugin are you using?
Can you share the macro which is causing the issue?
Do you have a log file of the issue with verbose logging enabled?

I downloaded the last version of the plugin for testing purpose, and still have the problem.
My OBS version is 30.2.3 (x64).
I've created a brand new macro to test, and still have the problem (even by manually clicking on a scene instead of using my DIY deck).
How can I have the log ? Where ?

You can enable verbose logging by using the instructions from the wiki:

You can access the log file from the OBS "Help" menu:

Hey there I'm kind of new to Advanced scene switcher.
I'm using OBS to digitize home videos. What I am needing to do is split the video recording at specific time intervals.
Example: 5 minutes for the first part, 10 minutes for the next, and so on.
I didn't find a straightforward way of doing this so I set up a chain of macros that will start a timer countown and split the video then trigger the next timer when done. seems fine... except if there's a blue screen or fuzz in between for 20 seconds I don't want that recorded.

Simple enough it seems as theres an "IF" matches pattern [blue screen] ... okay... except I also want to pause the timer countdown not just the recording... otherwise the timer is now still counting while recording is paused.

the pause functions in the macros just seems to pause the macro itself... not pause the timer in the macro. Is there a way to do this?

That seemed to have worked!
I was trying to use the "Pause" "Toggle Pause" but that unchecks the macros...

New topic:
I am experiencing 2 issues I've noticed with advanced scene switcher.
#1... The window will remember it's position but it will not remember it's Size
#2... It seems after editing some macros they will not function unless I close OBS and restart it, Specifically I have been setting timers and Recording duration

Just to confirm:
You have the corresponding setting enabled on the General tab, right?

If so, which version of the plugin / OBS / OS are you using?

#2... It seems after editing some macros they will not function unless I close OBS and restart it, Specifically I have been setting timers and Recording duration
Can you please export the macro you are experiencing this issue with?
Could it be that other macros are interfering?
It might be worth having a look at this wiki page to narrow down what the problem might be.

@Warmuptill : I swear I went into this folder at the time of our conversation and saw no log, but this time I found ones.

Line 100 of the first file for example, there is :
  • 15:08:57.978: Skipping module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/advanced-scene-switcher-lib.dll', not an OBS plugin
However I'm sure the plugin works because I use some macros with it and they still work fine.
By the way I add a precision to my last bug report : it's not just only the "If scene has changed" but the whole "Scene" feature that bug as soon as I use it with a condition.

This is harmless and will not cause any issues.

Unfortunately, verbose logging is not enabled in either of the log files you have shared.
So at the moment I can't really spot any issue.
Can you please also export an example macro, which shows this issue, or save you settings to a file and share it with me?

I did an OBS update (several versions behind, liked some of what I was missing).

Specific to ASS, I thought it erased all the macros. The entire tray on the left was/is blank. I made another, then tried to remake one of the former ones. It tells me that I already have one with that name. I replicated its trigger condition and the desired effect happened.

I clicked into the tray wondering if they were just invisible/blank (like a lot of the buttons in OBS tend to be since ~30) but they're not there. I changed the theme but no effect; all the buttons still have no symbols on them. The new macro I made went right to the top, and it's the only one. I couldn't edit any of the others if I wanted to.

So, where'd they go? They exist, and they work. I'd like the list to be repopulated as making edits once in a while was a necessity.

Thank you for your time.
