I understand it now. It is loading the source from file, not showing it as it is already in the OBS scene.

Worked through a fresh install and was sad to find that this is the plugin currently causing me headaches with crashes on close since updating to 28. Thanks for your work on this one, love how great all your plugins are!

Are you saying that the source-switcher is causing OBS to crash in V28?

as per usual, everything Exeldro touches is pure gold, and so useful. I am having a small problem getting the show/hide transitions to work with the source switcher, running OBS v.29.0 they don't seem to work sadly. I'm sure it's me, but any advice would be great appreciated. thank you in advance. and keep up the great work Exeldro!

I'm getting a "black screen" between the last source and the first source when looping on a 5000ms delay. Is there a way to get rid of that?

Is there a future update that might include a "Time Switch" that is random within a user-defined range? I'd like to switch between a few scenes with a little irregularity.
Thanks for all of your work!

Hello, Thank you Exceldro for this fabulous plugin. I need your help please. I have an Ubuntu 20.04 server. I have successfully updated it to version 22.04. I have OBS version 29.0.2 installed and I need to install the 'Source Switcher' plugin for OBS. However, I couldn't find the .deb package, so I downloaded the .zip version. I extracted the subfolders and placed them in /usr/share/obs/ but it didn't work. Then, I tried placing them in /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/ but it still didn't work. Thank you for your help.
Hello,
Thank you for the plugin. I would like to ask for some support as I am not getting the results I expected.
1) I would like to use this plugin to play a bank of 2-3 commercials maybe two or three times during a broadcast. I have the video files in a scene listed in one Source Switcher instance. When I trigger the scene the very first time is plays through the files as expected, in order. Anytime I return to the scene it is only playing the last file. I can not get the first file to play.
I have the latest version installed on OBS 29.1, Windows 10. I have seen this type of question/issue posted two other times on this thread. Is this plugin not designed to work for this use?
2) What is the best way to handle assets for the switcher? I notice that one needs a source file to already be listed in OBS to be added to the Scene Switcher. Should these sources be in a certain place?
I notice that I had a video file in two separate scenes, one being the Scene Switcher. If I start playing that video file and then switch to the Scene Switcher, the video file does not stop and is in the exact same place. Makes me wonder if where the other location is affects the behavior of the Scene Switcher?
Thanks!

After some experimenting, the answer to question #1 is to set Loop to "on" inside the Scene Switcher. This results in the correct order of the videos to be played from the start.
As a side note, is there a way to accomplish the same behavior without using loop? It is dangerous to have a loop set for commercials during a broadcast as you have to be there to catch the end exactly they start again... Thanks!

@warpllotus can you provide me a crash report?

@warpllotus What did you try? When does it crash? What version of OBS and the plugin? Can you provide the log file? Any other information that might help determine why it's crashing for you and not for other users?
