Just as a sanity check:
Does the freeze happen still if the plugin is uninstalled?
Can you try removing the following file after closing OBS? (Assuming you are on Windows)
C:\Users\<Your Username Here>\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\advanced-scene-switcher\.runningThis should prevent the dialog from being shown - at least until the next crash.
Does that help?
Hey all, hoping to get some hand-holding to install this. We use Jamf and are able to get OBS installed successfully with system extensions, etc. However, when installing this plugin and getting past the unknown developer warning (Sys Prefs > Privacy > Open Anyway), we get the error upon opening OBS that this plugin failed to load. We don't see it the Tools menu or Plugin Manager. Any ideas? I am a local admin as well as a Jamf admin so I have all the access needed to test anything or make any changes.

Sure, just send me a direct message with details how to contact you. (Discord , Zoom, Teams, whatever ... meeting)
I will try to guide you through the installation and fix / work around any issues.

I solved it! I had to shift some things but it needed a delay after making the player visible. I guess it's making the transform faster than the visibly kicks in. The reason it worked when clicking run macro is because I ran it immediately after a failure while the player was still visible so the transform couldn't get ahead of the the player. Just a .10 delay is enough.
It looks kinda janky but maybe I can just add a studio mode portion to pre-resize it, which is what I was doing manually.
Btw, I have been able to pull off some crazy stuff with your plugin, I wouldn't be able to do this myself without it. Thanks for making it!
Long story short, I hadn’t updated OBS this year until a few days ago. Assuming OBS compatibility was the issue, I rolled back to the December 15th update, and OBS stopped crashing on startup with the plugin.
Anyways, I was going to post footage of it working on the older OBS version, then reinstall the latest OBS version and record the crash/logs for comparison. But when I reinstalled the latest OBS version to showcase the issue… it somehow started working again lol.
So while I thought I had found the issue, I guess I didn’t, because now it’s suddenly working somehow.
The issue is suddenly gone. I think
For anyone following this, ThreatLocker has been shown to silently block one of the libraries when OBS starts and attempts to load the plugin. Thank you again @Warmuptill for your assistance!

Thanks for letting me know!
Would you mind sharing your settings with me, so I can track down what is causing the issue?
(Doesn't have to be here - you can send me a DM)
Update:
Oh, never mind! You already did on GitHub. Thanks!
Update 2:
Seems to have been caused by a leak triggerd by the StreamDeck plugin.
Downgrading it or the advanced scene switcher resolves the issue for now.

Did try to update the plugin to 1.34.0 and then to 1.34.1.
I installed with the legacy option . Copying over the file to where i installed OBS .
Not sure if this matters, my OBS is not on the c: drive ( default ) , it's on my E:\ drive
When OBS loads and ASS is enabled the OBS freezes . No crash report .
Disabling ASS or Don't start ASS on Startup is ENABLED / INACTIVE ... when put to active .. OBS freeze.
OBS 32.1.2 was on 32.1.1 previously , tried to upgrade to latest version to resolve . same issue.
If i install a previous version of Advanced scene switcher 1.33.1 , it does the same behaviour now.
OBS freezes once ASS is enabled / active ...
Spent most of my day off trying to fix . No luck yet.

I’m sorry to hear that!
That sounds very strange.
Can you share an OBS log file?
Can’t check at the moment but I think they are usually located at:
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\logs
Can you also please check if any crash reports were generated?
(Should be in the “crashes” folder in the same directory as the “logs” folder)

Reproduced the issue.
Open OBS with ASS Inactive .
Activate the Advance Scene Switcher
Turn on a Source on my Main Scene that call on macro .
This is where OBS stops working , the source doesn't turn on and if i were to change scene or do something else in OBS .
It will freeze. stop responding and can only wait for the program to respond or close it .
Attached the log file . no crash report was generated .

Thanks a lot for the reproduction steps!
That will make it a lot easier to track down what is causing the issue!
Just one last thing:
Would you mind exporting the macro with which you reproduced the issue?
Or if you don't mind exporting all your advanced scene switcher settings to a file?
Sorry again for the issues!

No worries, I don't actively stream at the moment ...
Here's my latest back up of my advance switcher.
To be warned , i have lots of macros ...
My kids are getting home from school , if need from the particular macros , i can do that later .. I don't think it is limited to one Marco.

Doesn't seem to indeed, unfortunately.
You can try sending a link to it via DM, when you find the time to.
Maybe for some reason attachments are restricted.
