I'm using OBS to stream HS soccer games. To put the scores on the screen, I use a google sheets page, and put a web capture element on the scenes (one of visitor score, one for home score). This worked great for the first 10 games (or so) of the season. Once I connected to the internet (have to use a mifi device), the scores would be read and positioned correctly.
The last couple of games, I'd confirm the scores were both showing 0 and start streaming. Someone would score, I'd update the google sheet, wait a few moments (it's usually less than 5 seconds), and... nothing. The score would stay 0.
To fix, I go into the properties for that element, clear the URL, save (which of course blanks the score), open the properties again, paste the URL, and save. The score will then appear, and update correctly the rest of the game.
On the last game, before I went to the game, I put H for the home score and V for visitors on the google sheet. I start OBS onsite, connect to the internet, and I see H and V on all the scores. I then change the google sheets to 0, and confirm I'm seeing 0:0 on all pages in OBS. We start the stream, update the google sheets on the first goal, wait, and nothing. Score stays 0. I do my "fix" I list above, and everything is fine the rest of the game.
In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor issue, but it is a PITA, especially since I'm running the camera for the game and have to get someone else to run it while I fiddle with OBS.
Ideas?
More info: When I open OBS the following day, it reads the doc page correctly and quickly (along with any changes).
Thank you
