Hi all,
First post, still finding my feet. Apologies if this has been posted before, I've searched but couldn't find anything related.
I want to be able to switch between VS Code and Vivaldi browser in a recording, so I've set up two scenes, identical except each scene showing one of the two applications. I want to use Automatic Scene Change to switch depending on which of the two apps I focus.
I noticed in the Automatic Scene Change dialog I can select a window which will trigger the change, but both Visual Studio Code and Vivaldi don't show up in that box. I then tried using regex based on the title and all windows work except for those two. I tried ".*Code$" for VS Code which didn't work. Doing a similar ".*Mozilla Firefox$" works fine on Firefox.
What's even more odd is I set it up to switch to Firefox based on regex and switch to VS Code for any unmatched windows. It switches to Firefox fine, but when I then focus VS Code, OBS doesn't seem to pick this up; when I then focus ANY other window it does switch OBS to VS Code. So it doesn't seem to be aware of VS Code at all.
My initial thought was that VS Code was a snap so that might be the difference, but Vivaldi isn't a snap, it's installed via apt. I have also confirmed both apps show up fine in wmctrl.
Any thoughts why these two applications wouldn't show up in the drop down and be ignored by the switcher, but work fine as a window source and can be recorded just fine?
Cheers,
Rob
