Hey bro
Just want to let you know that I had the exact same problem and made it work installing python 10 from here https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3107/
I've also reinstalled the script required and restarted OBS, everything's working like a charm now

Does anyone have any success with windows 10 monitor in 'portrait' orientation [obs on the top (or bottom) -- and the 'subject' of the Zoom and Follow on the other half?
- im aware that this is not the most efficient setup, however, I haven't a choice in this studio.
NOTE:: I have successfully set up a similar (at least with OBS and the subject both having half) in landscape orientation.
- It does take a little math (for the ratios) and the forced (manual?) offset in the scripts settings to get it right.
- Im happy to share. (screenshots and settings)

Incidentally, I have noticed a bunch of errors and logs being shared. Most of them I have experienced (working on getting this plugin to work (with focus being 1/2 of the screen & obs on the other side). I have installed obs and this plugin on almost every computer I own trying to figure out why I couldn't make it work.
what I did that worked (irrespective to any scientific method) was to repeat the steps in the Youtube video link I posted. I repeated the steps over and over untill the logs stopped fussing.
This is NOT my advice to you (as your situation is not the same (But, it worked for me on several versions of OBS and several versions of pyton)
By the way, I love this plugin BIGLY..

I'm running into issues using this script on Mac. Based on the log, it looks like I can enable/disable mouse tracking without an issue, but when I try to enable zoom, I get the following:

I just updated to OBS 29.0.1 on macOS 10.15 to try to replicate this and it happened on launch for me.
After going to Tools -> Scripts and clicking on the zoom_and_follow_mouse.py and reloading it, I didn't have an error.
Note: there are still a few issues with the code for macOS users including myself if you check on the GitHub
MacOS - TypeError: tuple indices must be integers or slices, not str · Issue #82 · tryptech/obs-zoom-and-follow
masOS Monterey Apple M1 Pro 2 monitors, same error with various configurations, including mirroring. Same error when using manual monitor overrides as well. Script is loading but moves surprisingly...

Apparently, if you change line 227 to
Code:
monitor_id = data.get('monitor_id', None)
Code:
monitor_id =data.get('monitor', None)That should solve this issue based on this GitHub ticket:

Hello, folks! I'm using this for a presentation tomorrow, and I've run into a minor snag - I can't use the mouse follow on my second monitor - apparently PyWinCtl only tracks the mouse on my main monitor! I've got two 4K displays, laid out like [ #2 ] [ #1 ], and when my mouse cursor exists on the #1 monitor, the zoomed in portion moves around - but I'm attempting to capture the #2 screen only, and it does not track the mouse on that monitor. Any ideas on how to fix this? My suspicion is that it's clamping the mouse coordinate values with the assumption that it can't go below "0".
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
With the help of the Discord group (and especially user: LunarGuardian), for Mac OS users: download this script and load it in: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tryptech/obs-zoom-and-follow/mac-rewrite/zoom_and_follow_mouse.py

Hi,
I have setup everything successfully but the mouse follows on the "wrong" screen.
I'm on a dual monitor and screen recording the second one. It zooms in perfectly but doesn't follow mouse movement. While moving things around I noticed that it does follow the movement when the mouse is on screen1.
So, movement of mouse on screen 1 makes the zoom following on screen 2....
How can I fix this?

solved, I'm a fish...
Now I would like to use this zoom and follow on a "already cropped" desktop as a source.
Is this doable by tweaking the script?
