I've tested the lower third, i was wondering if we can setup 4 lower third at the same in a different position, i a simply manner. What i've tested so far is add 4 browser and switch on and off the lower third button to have it shown in the mean while. I was wondering if is there the possibity to trigger only the lower third interested in automatic way. For example when i run scene3 where there is speaker 03 trigger the lower third for the speaker 3 only

You can just make two overlays then you have 4 more - the url location but i use https://www.spx.graphics/ for some setups also.

Hello, I already have it... I modified the code now there are 6 LT. attach the file. Although I couldn't test it in obs version 30, it doesn't seem to work. Please tell me if it works and how you made it work, thank you.

I had not yet time to modify it. I ask you: did you tested? Under OBS30 it works but before to substitute it I need to what i asked. Thanks a lot.
I tried it in two different obs version 30 and neither the original nor the modified lower thirds works... in other words, the plugin works but it doesn't show anything in the source. If you managed to make the original work, can you show me how you did it?

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I was able to resolve an issue with the lower third boxes not working. The guide I found on youtube instructs you to enable "local file" in the source properties window. I couldn't get the lower third to show and it would continually have a red surround on the element in the control window. After finding another window that talked about update 27.2 breaking the functionality, I tried to apply the fix, which was to add "file:///" to the file path. Problem was, with "Local File" check-marked, I was not able to edit the file dialog entry.
HERE's THE FIX... DISABLE "Local File". This allows you to manually enter the "URL" for the browser source. So the adjusted steps to implement this plug-in is as follows:
1. Navigate to the browser_source.html file location.
2. Double click on the browser_source.html file to open the file in a browser.
3. Copy the URL to your clipboard.
4. Add a browser source in your scene, title it as you would like.
5. In the URL field for the source type in "file:///" and then paste the URL.
As an alternative, to typing in "file:///" and then pasting, open a blank notepad/wordpad document type in "file:///" then paste the path. Then select the entire text string and copy. Then paste it into the URL field in the browser source properties.
The path should resemble this, depending on where you put the plug-in folder:
file:///c:/Program Files/obs-studio/Animated-Lower-Thirds/lower thirds/browser-source.html
Hope this helps.

I noticed that after the OBS update to 30.0.2, that the .lua script isn't working anymore. I get the error now, -
[lower-thirds_hotkeys.lua] Error loading file: [string "/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/PlugIns/Animat..."]:491: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 155) near 'elseif'
[lower-thirds_hotkeys.lua] Error loading file: [string "/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/PlugIns/Animat..."]:491: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 155) near 'elseif'

What you are telling it's written into the instructions. I read them and applied them since the first time I downloaded this Lower Third plugin years ago.
I am using a silicon M2 Macbook and OBS 30.0.2. I reloaded everything to try to resolve some issues and now when I am reinstalling Animated Lower Thirds plugin, I get this error message:
[lower-thirds_hotkeys.lua] Error loading file: [string "/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/PlugIns/Animat..."]:491: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 155) near 'elseif'
I have the files loaded into the plugin folder of the OBS - Package Contents folder, but the script is having an issue running it. Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks

The error indicate that the lua file has an error in it. You could try to (re) download a new installation of the lower third plugin. If the error persist, then it needs to be fixed in the lua file

Does anyone know of a way to have the panel text fields call data from say an excel file? An example would be I have a fight card (a list of fighters & the order of the fights). I set up a vlookup and match formula to search for specific names based on the fight. I want the panel to fetch the data from the cells in the formula to auto populate as I change the fight. I would otherwise utilize the memory slots but there are more fights than slots
So, I no longer get the error message mentioned in my post immediately above.
I have reinstalled the app in a sub-directory of the C:\ drive and I have the lower thirds app working sort of.
When I mouse click the Lower Thirds 1, 2, 3 or 4 "on" button - the appropriate box gets a blue border and its lower thirds text appears on the screen.
However, the Hotkeys are not working. I can see them on the list of Hotkeys; however, Shift + 1, 2, 3, 4 does not work. I suspect they're still looking at the prior incorrect installation's location.
I'm loathe to uninstall the app as it's taken such a long road to get it installed so that the Lower Thirds appears on screen.
Any ideas?
