I want to use this Script under Linux and obs displays an error that it is unable to import rt-midi.
I already installed rt-midi inside of my user "context" and inside of the global "context" and whe i tested it in the default python interpreter it worked just fine.

This is the whole error:
Code:

Is this Problem Known and does a fix for it exist?

In this Azure build python scripting now works, (!WARNING!) this is a developer build, stable forthcoming releases, should include this.

Attached, is a minorly edited script, shall we add this to the main repo, noisetteofaddedia?

System: MacOS 10.13.4, Python 3.7.5 (from brew)

First off, thank you for this. Second, I'm a total noob, I've used only one script in OBS previously (for a countdown timer). I got rt-midi installed successfully, and this script to appear and it lets me add it into OBS Studio. That's the part where I am stuck. Instructions say "choose your controller from The List." Where do I find "The List" in OBS Studio? or is that a text file somewhere I need to edit? thank you to anyone who helps, I appreciate it!

FIXED!!! did some more digging as it was needed. Got it to work and it's awesome!!! I had to use a midi out port on my DAW so that I could control both it and OBS studio. Now I am muting and running faders on my audio channels and controlling transport (in FL Studio), AND selecting scenes on OBS Studio - from the same X-Touch Mini controller. THIS IS AWESOME, THANK YOU!!!

Hello. I would like to Map a Midi Fader to the "Transition Fader" in the OBS Studio mode, to live mixing two scenes together.

I have already extended the script to map a new midi value variable, but cannot access this "Transition Fader" function in obs. I did not find anything in the python documentation. Does anyone have an idea?

This is some Code i added:

Python:
....
    if midiParams[7]:
        fadeTransition(value)
...
    midiParams = ["",0,"",0,"",0, False,0];
...
    transitionFaderAddress = obs.obs_properties_add_int(props, "transitionFaderMidiAddress", "Transition Fader Midi Address", 0, 127, 1)
..
    midiParams[7] = obs.obs_data_get_int(settings, "transitionFaderMidiAddress")
..

def fadeTransition(num):
    trans = obs.obs_frontend_get_current_transition()
    print("Test")
    # Down below is the code which is not working
    obs.obs_transition_set_size(trans,num)

This is the function i would like to use:

This is a great addition to OBS, and just what we need! The only issue at the moment is that the scene transitions aren't actually happening, and we aren't sure what we're doing wrong.

The script is installed, and I'm getting the setup screen as expected.
I set "Scene set midi type" to "Note On"
I set "First scene midi address" to "1".
When I trigger my note down, it shows up in the script log as:
[Script] Note 2 2
But the scene doesn't change to scene 2 like I believe it should.

What do you think I'm doing wrong? Is there a specific note intensity I'm supposed to be using?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

So, after debugging the script for a while, I found out what the issue is. The command "obs_frontend_set_current_preview_scene" is supposed to immediately trigger a scene change when OBS is not in Studio Mode. However, it simply doesn't work on a Mac, unless you put OBS back in Studio mode. In other words, this script will only work on a Mac if OBS is in Studio Mode.

Because I don't want to use Studio Mode, the simple fix was to change the command above to "obs_frontend_set_current_scene". This triggers the scene change immediately, whether in Studio Mode or not.

Thanks again for a very useful script!

Hi there

I have not been able to load the script, I am on ubuntu 18.04 and installed the module like this:

$ sudo pip3 install python-rtmidi

When I load the script I got this error:

[obsMidiClient.py] Traceback (most recent call last):
[obsMidiClient.py] File "/home/javier/Desktop/obsMidiClient.py", line 2, in <module>
[obsMidiClient.py] import rtmidi

[obsMidiClient.py] ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/rtmidi/_rtmidi.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_ValueError

but if I import the module from the terminal, it does not happen:
