The Counter is not running in OBS. It Only shows up in OBS when I click the 'local file' option for browser source

I get the dock to show up, and it is interactive. The browser window seems to not be getting the data from the dock. When clicking the browser source to be a local file, the counter shows up as 0:00, but does not change.

When I open both the dock and the counter in the browser, they interact with each other and work as expected

I'm not sure why its not interacting. It has always worked in OBS when the 'local file' was not clicked. My advice would be to delete the browser source an reinstall it without the 'local file' clicked. Maybe even with the dock. It should work very similar as in the browser. If it's working in a browser then it should work in OBS. If maybe you can't see it at install because the text is the same color as the background? Try changing its color. The Dock sends a signal to the browser source with each change. if there is no change with the dock or the signal is not being sent then something has crashed. I am very close to uploading a new version. I just have to do a final check. It will be on Github shortly.

There's no way to check for errors on OBS that I know of. I use chrome and press (f12) to access the console and elements and check for errors while coding. I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but I know it always works when installed the way I have said. It works for thousands of people. There's some issues with the functionality and the font system is not fully functional but there is no errors and communication should happen. Do not click 'local file'-for some reason this stopped working long ago. I would delete the Dock and Browser Source from OBS. Then shut your computer down and restart. Redownload the CountDownTimer from GitHub and use this fresh copy to install into OBS in the manner I have shown and it should work. The only thing to change when adding the browser source is height and width and copy the url from your browser. That's it. I've done this many times. It always works. There will be a new version very soon on GitHub. With Gradients and more.

Thanks for your reply. I was able to fix it.

When I copied the browser url into OBS for the URL, it put a file reference. So I changed it.

Did not work: file:///L:/OBS-Widgets/Simple-Countdown-Timer-For-OBS-main/Browser.html

This works for me: L:/OBS-Widgets/Simple-Countdown-Timer-For-OBS-main/Browser.html

I appreciate your reply and new update. Thank you!

No Worries, Glad you fixed it. Yep, that 'file:///' gets put there automatically by OBS. It's never been an issue for me. I always leave it there. There's only 3 things I change when adding the browser Source. Everything else I leave as Default. I change the height, width and copy and paste the URL address from a browser. I use Chrome. Glad you like the new update. Screenshot 2024-07-09 113925 Screenshot 2024-07-09 114120
