Release 2.0
A second major release of the Visca over IP control plugin for OBS!
This release contains many and significant changes to the code to enable several new features, completely backward compatible with all previous releases.
- Implementation of bi-directional communication with the camera to retrieve configuration and settings from the camera
- Integration of a nice new feature suggested and initially implemented by @tmimlitch: The current pan, tilt and zoom value of a camera can be retrieved and stored in a scene action, which are recalled when the scene becomes active. This means camera positions can be recalled without the need to configure these in the camera as preset first!
- Added a hotkey configuration option for temporary suppression of scene action execution (via the global OBS hotkey settings); as long as the hotkey is pressed (down), the actions in a scene are not applied when the scene becomes active.
- The plugin now automatically switches to manual focus mode before one-push-trigger focus, focus to infinity, focus to far or focus to near is activated via a hotkey - manual switch to manual focus is no longer needed.
- Obtain the camera brand, model and firmware for easy listing and identification of the camera in the settings
- The plugin interface has received a cleanup, grouping related items so simplify configuration
- A backup and restore feature for the plugin script settings to easily share camera configurations between OBS installations
- Fixed several resource leaks
