Same issue as most users are having with the latest script

[gagansuie]

If i uninstall and reinstall OBS (29.1.3) with the latest version of python (3.11), it will zoom in too much and i cant adjust it and follow doesn't work at all.

But if i install with python 3.10.9, nothing happens but logs do show up. :(

Same here. Python 3.11, no errors, logs are ok, but the zoom and follow don't work (I double-checked everything).

After a system restart and a clean start of OBS, I have those logs. The "zoom" is always false, even if I toggle it always.

Also, it crashed Streamer.Bot and OBS, not sure if it's from Python 3.11 or the plugin itself. Without those two it never crashed for me, so I assume it's one of the two.

Same issue here. Script seems to run, but does nothing.
OBS 29.1.3 and Python 3.10.6.

I figured it out. Basically this script is very fragile. What worked for me was once you get those logs appearing,
-try switching to Windows capture and running it, -then toggle back to display capture,
-restart OBS.
-make sure you have your hotkeys set as well.
-if all else fails, restart your machine, try the steps again.
-if know, it's madness. 🙃
-ill see if I can find the python install script I ran, maybe that helped.

Latest version of python and OBS btw.

Here's proof.

I am having the same issues as the others. I am using Python 3.11.6.
The 'zoom' feature zooms into the very top-left of the screen to 46px x 46px and does not 'follow' the mouse as it is supposed to.

After trying gagansuie's method it is working for me.

HOW I FIXED IT:
Tools > Scripts
Change 'Zoom Source' from a Window Capture Source to a Display Capture Source (and back again as necessary).

• What does this mean?

OBS has 'Sources' that you select to display. I switched from a Display Capture Source to a Window Capture Source, and back again, and this actually fixed my problem. So my suggestion do what he said and play with the settings and don't be afraid to restart your PC. I got both the 'zoom' and 'follow' functions to work after following his advice!

Holy moly! That's freaking awesome! I'm really happy someone was able to reproduce the fix!

This didn't work for me, unfortunately. Could having multiple monitors enabled be the issue? I haven't tested with single monitor.

I'm really happy this worked for you! Sadly it did not work for me. Any other ideas?

@davidvkimball I gave up on this scrip after struggling for months. What did work for me was this other one inspired by this script - it worked out of the box and is fulfilling my basic zoom and follow requirements - https://github.com/BlankSourceCode/obs-zoom-to-mouse.

Hopefully someone can learn why that one is working.

@Danie10 thank you so much, this script is great!
