Ashmanix Countdown Timer 2.1.1

[wwerner]

Love the plugin, it's a great fit for my current project!

Is there a way to export/backup the timers that are set up? I'm trying to make a backup of my main configuration, which includes a number of countdown timers in your plugin. If there isn't an easy export/backup feature, where is the data stored for the timers you configure?

Thanks for your project!

Forgot to mention: I'm using the latest Windows version of OBS.


Thanks!

Thanks!

Did a little more digging around and found the location where the configurations for the countdowns themselves were saved. Also managed to find a few other plugins' data as well! Still have to test copying that directory to place on a secondary computer as a backup, but it should work.

Location for anyone else who might not know: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio

Apologies to those who already know this.


Thanks!

One more update: i have verified that copying the contents of the folder in my AppData/Roaming folder DOES successfully transplant the timer settings. I did have to reconnect a couple of them to their text source, but that could be that the names of those two weren't quite the same at this time. I suspect that if I were to re-export and re-import the proper Scene Collection from the source machine that it would work correctly.

Thanks for letting me ramble on about this!

Hi, the screenshot you've shown shows the OBS folder in the Program Files folder on the C drive. My instructions point you to the plugins folder in ProgramData on the C drive. It's been a while since I've checked on Windows but I think this is a hidden folder. It's a subtle difference. I away from my Windows PC but I'm expecting the folder structure to still be obs-studio > plugins in the ProgramData folder. If there is no obs-studio folder then you can create it and then inside that new folder create a plugins folder. You should then be able to copy the unzipped plugin folder into there and it should (hopefully) appear in OBS after a restart.

I'm sorry the installation process is such a pain. I use the plugin template code provided by the OBS team as a basis for my plugin. In the last it would compile an installer which would auto install the files. I updated the template code and they took it out as it was causing issues somewhere. It's made installation of the plugin manual (which is a pain in OBS in my opinion).

I'm glad you were able to use the built in countdown timer in OBS. If you still have issues trying to install the plugin don't hesitate to message again

Can I piggyback off of this?

I have copied the contents of the folder to every possible folder location both in local and roaming program files, program data, every plugin folder i cold find, bins, unbidden items, changed from read only, etc. I'm up to date on windows 11, all drives, obs studio.

No matter what I do, the plug in doesn't show under my plug in manager.

I don't know what else to try haha

I've made some updates to the installation wiki page as a first port of call: https://www.ashmanix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=resource:install_obs_plugin

There is also a troubleshooting section on that page that lists the steps for removing the old folders which is needed when you install the new plugin folder in the ProgramData folder.
