Advanced Scene Switcher 1.32.8

Warmuptill · Tuesday at 5:56 PM

HI! I installed thru apt in Mint 22.3 but when i open obs it fails to load libadvanced-scene-switcher.so and advanced-scene-switcher-lib.so, says to update or remove them. When i navigate to that particular location i don't see these .so either. i did first try to install by the .deb, but obs wouldn't open so i purged thru apt

The deb file in the releases section is built for Ubuntu 24.
Unfortunately, I am not sure if that is compatible with Mint 22.3.

If it is not compatible your options are:

The flatpak version of OBS with the flatpak version of advanced scene switcher (com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.SceneSwitcher).
The snap OBS install which is also ships with the advanaced scene switcher pre-installed (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio).
Compile the plugin yourself, which can be quite complicated if you have never done something like this before.

Mint 22 is Ubuntu 24 based, how would you troubleshoot this for Noble? When I installed the .deb originally OBS just refused to open

Which version of OBS are you using?

Can you give this test build a try?

As with the Master release, the artifact causes OBS to hang and fail on start. OBS in the noble release stream is 30.0.2+dfsg-3build1, i'm also seeing 30.2.3+dfsg-1~bpo24.04.1 available in backports. And I'm seeing your plugin supports 31.1.1 minimum... sorry to have bothered you about that. Going back I grabbed 1.27.2 but get "dependancy not satisfiable: libopencv-core4.5d (>= 4.5.4+dfsg)"
I suppose later I'll try to grab 30.2.3 and see if your July 2025 release works for now.. and head upstream to request updates, as even 25.10 is using obs-studio 30.2.3+dfsg-3

Thanks for the update!

Yeah the dependencies can be quite a mess on the different Linux distros, unfortunately :(
If you want to give compiling it yourself a try don't hesitate to reach out and I can try to guide you through it.

Hello, I've been trying to update a text and image based on a text file, but I feel like I'm overcomplicating things by creating too much macros for a simple thing

Some basic context :
It's a tournament, I need to display 2 names (player 1 and player2), 2 flags (one for each player) and another text (their "seed" in the tournament). I have 2 text files where I put the name of the players competing, and it updates the player name automatically.
Now, I also need to update the flag and the seed, based on the players.

Now as you can see, creating 2 macros for each player is not what I would call efficient, but I'm not an expert scripter so I haven't been able to find an easy solution (maybe by having some kind of array with each player being linked with a flag and seed, stored in a JSON), but I can't find a way to make it work. I wanted to do a "java switch - case" thing in 1 or 2 macros but I don't think I can.
If anyone knows a simple script or can provide a simple template to make this without needing 50 macros it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !

You might be able to simplify your setup by introducing variables.

If you are using the same set of actions in every macro this section about enabling "inputs" for macros might also be of interest:

Regarding the "switch case":

You could set up a central variable containing a JSON string containing a map of the data you need.
So something like this (AI generated example data):

Code:

{  "players": {
    "P001": {
      "player_name": "Aria Stormwind",
      "icon_path": "assets/icons/players/aria_stormwind.png"
    },
    "P002": {
      "player_name": "Marcus Ironfist",
      "icon_path": "assets/icons/players/marcus_ironfist.png"
    },
    "P003": {
      "player_name": "Luna Shadowveil",
      "icon_path": "assets/icons/players/luna_shadowveil.png"
    },
    "P004": {
      "player_name": "Tobias Runemark",
      "icon_path": "assets/icons/players/tobias_runemark.png"
    },
    "P005": {
      "player_name": "Seraphine Coldwater",
      "icon_path": "assets/icons/players/seraphine_coldwater.png"
    }
  }
}

In that case you can use a string of actions similar to the following to extract the value(s) you need:

You could just use the "Script" action to use Python or LUA to implement your map.

I hope this helps! :)
