Problem getting Advanced Scene Switcher to work [ find data folder]

[traderbob]

I have OBS running on Ubuntu 18.04 and want to add some time based scheduling.
Followed the instructions to download Advanced Scene Switcher which appears on the Tools Menu but cannot find the data folder which has been copied to ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher/
I have tried copying the data folder to a couple of places without success.
Nothing in the log or syslog. Just a popup window to say the data folder can't be found.
Hopefully someone has figured this out!
regards

This the folder structure I would have expected to work:

.config/obs-studio/plugins/
└── advanced-scene-switcher
    ├── bin
    │   └── 64bit
    │       └── advanced-scene-switcher.so
    └── data
        └── locale
            ├── de-DE.ini
            ├── en-US.ini
            └── zh-CN.ini

Are the permissions on this folder set correctly?

Maybe "/usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/advanced-scene-switcher/locale" works for you?

Just to clarify:
If you see this message you also about the missing data folder you also see a lot of placeholder strings when opening the plug-in correct?
(Just want to make sure I didn't just make a mistake when displaying this message)

Hi, I looked at how the other so files were set up and created a directory in /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/ called advanced-scene-switcher and put the contents of data in so I get
/usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/advanced-scene-switcher/locale
I left the so file in the /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/ folder and it works.
The clue was in the log file which told me that advanced scene switcher could not find the en-US file.
it of find | grep and I figured it out.
I will document this after I have completed this project.
I need the switcher to reconnect the stream we relay every 24 hours. In reality we will do it every 4.
The structure you suggest is pretty much what I arrived at. That is not what I construed from the howto. I will post my version.
regards
Robert

I am using Mint 20.2
I've copied the complete folder to .config/obs-studio/plugins/
At first it didn't work. When I looked at the logs it became clear that I needed a:

sudo apt install libopencv-objdetect4.2 libopencv-core4.2

Maybe of help for others
