Aside from the plugin not loading, I don't see any error messages. Most failures I've seen so far give an error message. In your log I only see a message that the plugin wasn't loaded. Can you send a screenshot of the plugin manager? (Tools->Plugin Manager)

What version of PTZ Controls did you install?
Using latest version 0.1.8
obs-ptz-0.18.0-windows-x64-Installer.exe

Testing in OBS 31.1.1 with a Sony SRG-X120 and CH Products Desktop controller. The plugin picked up both the camera and controller with no problems and controls the camera's presets great! I did run into a couple of issues that I'm hoping is just a configuration error on my part. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
  • PTZ Controls is not seeing the Z-axis (Zoom) (Axis 2) movement of the joystick. Only the X & Y axis. Zoom does work if I set a couple of the preset buttons on the joystick to Zoom In & Zoom Out.
  • If a setting is selected on the preset buttons the plugin will not allow you to go back to None.

I have this same problem. Using a CH joystick as well and I can't get any of my PTZ camera's whether its IP or USB to recognize the z axis for zoom. Also have the same issues for the buttons not going to NONE option as well.

Specifically, I'm using an Aver CAM540 which is USB but also one of my Illustra IP cameras has the same issue.

I have the same issue. Windows can see all buttons and X, Y, Z axis. PTZ contols does not respond to the Z axis. Tried this on CH joystick and also Axis joystick.

Also same issue with button mapping - can not set it back to None after it gets programmed.

Also if I map Zoom In and Zoom Out to buttons, holding them down will Zoom a little bit, then will stop. It does not stay continuous when the button is continuosly held down.

Hi,

thank you for this plugin and the recent updats (that finally fixed the VISCA serial bug). Now all our cameras can be operated from OBS!

But there's always room for improvement. :D
We already use the PTZ Action object to recall a preset for a specific scene. Would it be possible to add new functions to this object?
Specifically, I'd like to be able to power on and power off our Sony network camera (VISCA UDP) with specific scenes. There is a lua script based plugin that in theory supports that feature but I wasn't able to get it to work with our camera and I don't want to manage two different plugins.
