I don't actually see an ability to use hotkeys for this anywhere
Click to expand...

I think it is supposed to be set up under Settings > Hotkeys. But the list of hotkeys for the scene I have added the switcher source to doesn't show any hotkeys for source switcher. So I'm also lost!

(I'm using plugin V0.4.3 in OBS V30.2.3)
 
I don't know what was updated in 0.4.3 vs 0.4.2 but I can tell you it wasn't the Ability to change media after media state has ended. Which was broken when OBS updated to 30.1.2. Pretty sure this was the whole reason this plugin was created was for the ability to switch sources after previous ended. SMH...

PLEASE UPDATE THIS BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Exeldro I am so sorry to bother You D:

I noticed after I installed the most recent OBS update that my source switcher sources were not populating, also when I try to add or edit a GDI source (not You but since I use text sources in my source switchers I though I would mention it?) OBS freezes and I have to close it out.

I think I was asked to update after that update (sometime within the last month) and I just didn't want to since I like using source switcher to share information passively while I co-work and it the sources weren't populating.

I have existing source switchers.
and they are listed in my sources, but they are not visible even with the eyeball on.
When I go into try to edit it, all the sources inside the source switcher are there, and if I try to edit - OBS (Not Responding).

The way I was doing my source switcher (and it was working pre update) was I had a browser source and a text source inside a group and I used those groups as the sources inside the source switcher. The sources inside the Group - their eyeballs were on but the folder eyeball was off. The source switcher worked fine - all the sources were seen with the time interval and transition I decided.

I have tried to add and edit source switchers and GDI sources and obs keeps freezing up.
And I mean any GDI source, not just the ones in the source switchers I have.

I wonder if this is somehow my fault and I am missing something?

or maybe the update affected Your plug in?

Can I do anything to remedy it?

Should I destroy my obs install and reinstall?

I decided to add the update after the initial update and the source switcher is working, some of the eye balls were reversed, the group eye balls were on and the sources inside the groups were closed, but I can see sources, toggle the eye balls, and obs isn't imploding.

But If I edit the source switcher and click sources inside the source switcher it still freezes - (Not Responding).

So idk what I should do about that.
If that continues then I cannot add new source switchers or edit current ones, unless I duplicate and edit that way maybe?

I also don't know if other people are having similar problems after the recent update(s).

I think I resolved it?

I was prompted for another update D:

and before I finalized it I combed through all my plugins the best I could to update everything if applicable.

I hadn't considered that maybe that was also part of my problems.

TYSM for everything You make Exeldro!
 
Apologies if this has already been answered, but I could not locate the answer in the thread....

Is there anyway to assign a specific duration to a specific event. For example, run full screen source for 3 minutes, the fade to cropped source for 20 seconds, and then loop back to top?

TIA

Appreciated for so simplified explanation but i have a query. I have to chat websources on a same chatbox frame can i switch it on auto whenever i stream on the particular platform?? Cause at first i couldn't find the manual button to switch scenes then after updating the extension & obs itself i got it. But now i wanna switch it along with the separate profiles so that it can auto switch to the preset chat sources according to the stream platform login.
Is it possible though, Thanks in advanced!

Don't mean to bother you, but OBS updated today. and this plugin kinda broke. I have 3 browser sources that rotates one after other, and after completing a loop, the sources dont appear anymore. I have to update the cache of each source but it doesnt last long.

Update, I kinda fixed it. Apparently you have to include the original websources in each scene you have the source switcher on(in my case, 4 scenes) and that's weird. I didn't need to do that before the update, so something kinda went loose or something.
 
Is this plugin currently broken for anyone else? I can't get any sources to show up. I type the exact name into the Sources field in the properties and i dont get any output. I'm on Version 32.0.4
 
Hey y'all! I may have found a bug, it looks like I cannot create a group using the Vertical Sources dock that this plugin offers.

Have verified attempting to make a group on the native sources that OBS offers does work.
