It's funny you mention this. Someone posted on the GitHub repo asking for the same feature which I've just implemented in version 2.0.3. You should be able to download it now and try it out.

Cool, for a second there I was trying to figure out how the hotkeys would show but not the dock

Suggestion: Make the date portion of the countdown to date entry enterable via a keyboard entry instead of just using the calendar dropdown. It appears the date cannot be updated via keyboard entry but the time is updateable. Thank you!

Hi, so I've tested this on my mac and you can enter the date without using the drop down by either highlighting the day, month or year and then either scrolling on the mouse or using the keyboard arrow keys. When entering the numbers manually you aren't allowed to enter a date before the current date so sometimes it wont let you change days or months first depending on the month. It felt unintuitive when I was trying to manually enter dates to I enabled the dropdown but that shouldn't prevent you from entering manually, just that if you try entering a number that is invalid or before the current date time it just wont let you enter it.

Thanks for your response. I didn't realize that the input area (correctly) validates that the date being entered is a future date.

Is it possible to add a feature where instead of setting the time manually, you set the end time manually (e.g set a date and/or time) so it acts like a countdown to a specific event at a specific time?

So if you select the date time option (Click on the d button) you get the option to set a date and time that you can countdown to. The UI will switch out the hours/minutes boxes for a date time field for the timer and a start and stop button. Is that what you're asking for?

Ok, got past the architecture, but now I get "failed to completely install all dependencies" run sudo apt-get install -f.
When I do, the plugin is removed, recovering 276 kb.
very lost here

Hi, so I'm not an expert at Linux but the premade scripts I use from the OBS templates plugin is set to build for PC x86 chips I think. I don't think it will build for the arm based chips of the raspberry pi. Have you been able to build any other plugins for OBS to run on the Pi?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Instead of activating a scene, as this plugin does once the set time is reached, the active source in the scene would become inactive and another source in the same scene would be activated. So what I mean is: One source in the same scene is deactivated and another source is activated rather then switching scenes.

Ah, so I have no plans to implement a toggle like that any time soon but what you could try (and I realise this is a bit of a faff) is to try out the Advance Scene Switcher plugin (https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/advanced-scene-switcher.395/) which you can set to toggle sources when the countdown text hits zero. I've got an example screenshot below of what I setup to test it out:

Hi, so yeah I've not been able to experience it much besides some lag when my OBS is being pushed. Because the timer uses timestamps if there's lag in OBS then it will jump a few seconds.
I think for now if you can carry on using the version that works for you, which doesn't use time stamps.

So I've had some other people pointing out this same issue so I was making some changes to the plugin and instituted some changes in the plugin. You can try out version 2.0.8 (https://github.com/ashmanix/obs-plugin-countdown/releases/tag/2.0.8) and see if it works for you.

Is there a chance that this plugin will also be available for Linux Mint (Ubuntu) in the near future?
