This crash appears to be coming from the advanced scene switcher plugin, you'll need to report it to the developer of that plugin:

Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0   advanced-scene-switcher.so      0x00000000331d5d82 SwitcherData::saveGeneralSettings(obs_data*) + 818
1   advanced-scene-switcher.so      0x000000003319d791 SaveSceneSwitcher(obs_data*, bool, void*) + 257

I don't really have it. My OBS App package -> Plugin's folder don't include advanced-scene-switcher.so but every time I lunch the app ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/obs-studio/plugin_config/advanced-scene-switcher/ empty folder will be generated. Maybe it was installed on my machine and after uninstalled incorrectly? Is there a way to find a trace of the leftovers of that plugin and remove them?

Please check /Library/Application Support/obs-studio for advanced-scene-switcher.so - according to the crash log that's the loaded library that OBS calls to load/save its settings.

Unfortunately most macOS plugin installers still throw OBS plugins in there instead of the user's Application Support folder.

WOW I don't actually know that on macOS two /Library/ Folder one in the root of Mackintosh HD and another in users folder @PatTheMav thank you so much I'm literally thinking of that problem hole night! Thank you!

There's three actually: /Library/, /System/Library/ and ~/Library/ - the second one is off limits since Catalina and the first one requires annoying root access.

That information is very helpful, i mean its how the system works, and I was looking in the wrong place but now I understand it better. Thx to you.
