Camera freezes when switching scenes

[VacuumOnFire]

I have multiple scenes where the same camera (usually with different sizing and cropping) used to be added as a source. The problem was that switching scenes would freeze the camera until I de- and re-activate it in OBS. Camera is a Logitech C270.
I came across StreamFX and have been using its source mirror feature to get around the issue.

However I would like to solve this problem without extra plugins if possible (as the lack of a full release version of StreamFX is currently preventing me from going to OBS 28). Duplicating the camera source as a reference is not an option because they all share the same name and on some scenes I have multiple camera sources at different positions so they need a distinct name. Having the camera in a separate scene and embedding that scene also does not work because cropping the embedded scene source also affects the actual scene. Furthermore it still has the problem of not allowing for distinct names.

Are you using the same source in each scene (recommended) or you created one source for each scene?
Don't forget the log file of a test and all that jazz.

I have a similar issue eversince I got this new update which I like for many reasons, but is giving me headache on this front.
I have many scenes and 2 cams.. both on each scene so I can play with them turning one on or off depending on needs.. thing is that before I could select another secene in preview and check some things before launching it live.. and then I could do the transition and all good..

now everytime I select a another secene with the cams in it... both cams leds blink, my antivirus will tell me cams are just turned on and in OBS I can see how they freeze for a second and then they get back to normal.. so now I can't do seamless transitions, but rather transition and wait few seconds before starting talking and is annoying.. any solutions?

I also have to say that I have Lovense Plugin installed, not sure if fhat is causing some issues or not, but when I installed it on previous version I lost integrated twitch chat on OBS as having it, it was crashing my OBS entirelly. I guess I might need to use OBS for twitch and remove lovense pluging and use other streaming apps for it.. D= still not sure if that the issue though.
