Question / Help I can´t install Advanced scene switcher. Help ? ( SOLVED )

[Dihelson Mendonca]

I need it for timed scene switch on windows.
I don´t know what´s going on, I installed the plugin as suggested ( But I didn´t find the 64bit folder option of OBS plugins, just a c:\ program files \OBS \ plugins. I sent to there. It doesn´t show up in OBS. I guess I´m making something wrong, but what ? My OBS version 22.0.2 - 64 bits. I installed the VB library as suggested. Windows 7 64 bits.

That folder sounds like OBS Classic, which is very old and should be deleted.

But I don´t use OBS classic nor have I installed. What should be the correct 64bit folder location of the plugins on the recent versions of OBS ? Thanks a lot !

You'd need to use the correct version of the plugin too.

I just tried installing the plugin. I followed the instructions in https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/advanced-scene-switcher.395/ and got the plugin working. The install instruction has a small flaw:

3. Copy the advanced-scene-switcher.dll in the OBS Stdio plugin folder. (For example C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\32bit or C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit - this path can be different for you!)

The path to the 64-bit location is wrong. Instead of the given path, the dll has to be copied to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit
Mind the "\obs-plugins\" part of the path that is appearing only for the 32-bit variant in the instruction.

I got to solve the problem. Thank you guys ! This last comment made all the difference.
Indeed, I don´t know why, my OBS is installed on the x86 folder ( But it says on top of the program that is 64bit, windows ), so the folders names were all wrong. I had to install on the suggested folder: C:\\ ... obs-studio/obs-plugins/64bit

Older OBS Studio versions installed to C:\Program Files (x86), even 64-bit. Current 64-bit versions install to C:\Program Files. The directory only changed with uninstall/new install, not with updating with the internal updater.

Thank you. Good to know that. Later, I´ll try to uninstall and reinstall.

You can do this, but you don't have to. The install location (x86 or not x86) is not important and does not change the behavior of OBS. Only if you install outside of C:\Program Files (x86) and C:\Program Files some games cannot be game-captured any more.
