return Value 1 image is not displayed

[aledmorris]

Setting a display image for value 1 does not work, it only displays the image for value 2. With display values set to Yes, my buitton presses show the value 1, and the default python logo and not the image I have set.

Environment:

• Plugin version 0.5.0.0 (had tested 0.4.0.0 first but upgraded to see if it was fixed)
• Windows 11
• Stream Deck MK2/Stream Deck SW 6.8.1
• Python v3.10.10

More Info

Here's my config, I'm only working with the sample True/False logic py script.

The images show value 1 = False, value 2 = True. Originally, it was the reverse but always value 1 is problematic with the image. Also I have tried setting the image to be the same for both values but this also does not work.

Just to confirm, the second Value "True" works, but not the first one "False"?

[aledmorris]

That's correct. The screenshots above show the status after a button press, see that False (Value 1) doesn;t show the configured image.

ok very strange, I will have a look

[oh2xx]

I’m also affected by this issue. I'm trying to display a solar weather summary use return value "Low" or "High" to switch images — but the the Value 1 never triggers the image but shows the default icon instead.

I also have this issue with the images not working for value 1 and only showing the default. I've also found that I must use True or False and cannot use return values such as ON or OFF. I would love to see this plugin work! Thanks in advance

[macakcat]

I just want it to work, so I 'fixed' this by setting my own image file for 'pyFilecheck.png' inside of imgs>actions and enforcing True/False return values.

[macakcat]

With the latest version 0.5.0.3, the hack no longer works. The default image loads every time the pages are refreshed, or if an image is set, then the toggled set images are not honored.

Thank you I will check what is going on here, can you share the logs please

I too see the Run Script actions working (the Python script is being run) but I see no change in the icon though I have assigned a different one for False and for True. I'm using the example python script you provide.

From https://docs.elgato.com/streamdeck/sdk/guides/keys/#display-precedence it appears that user-specified icons override those set by the setImage method and this matches what I've seen: a control with the default icon will update to (and stick with) the images I specify in the display Image fields but if I specify a custom icon for the control, the display Image icons are never shown.
