Source Record 0.4.1

i cannot for the life of me get it to work with replay buffer, ive tried changing the encoders, i verified the settings, ensured replay buffer was enabled, checked settings again, and still nothing. it works if i use replay, but how i record things is mainly highlights and clips. but im at a loss at this point. this seemed like a saving grace to my issues but it seems not :(

I'm glad the creator fixed the bugs that version 0.3.2 had, version 0.3.4 hasn't crashed once and hasn't had any stability issues or recording errors if properly configured.

Maybe you could give some recommendations, like making the camera recording stop when you pause a recording in OBS, that would make post-production work easier since the video would be synchronized at all times, camera and content.

I don't know what the cause is, but in OBS when I start recording for 2 or 3 seconds it says "overload when encoding, consider lowering video settings" and then it stabilizes, this isn't annoying or generates errors, but it does cause the camera source to record after the message passes, so you have to wait a few seconds before starting to speak; and square the camera with the content by the 2 to 5 second offset (this is the maximum that I have ever had), this would help a lot in post-production.

These are minor details but they can be polished for a better plugin.

This seems to work fine if you want to constantly record a single source. Unfortunately, I only wanted this to record gaming clip highlights without my streaming overlays via the replay buffer feature. This was for a possible alternative to Shadowplay. I have tried for 3 days going through every config I can think of, but no matter what I do, I cannot get this feature to work. It will not record the source replay buffer. Regular OBS replay buffer works fine, but the source record replay buffer feature does not ever output anything when I hit the hotkey.

Still randomly breaks for no apparent reason. Also somehow messes up the active/visibility signal for the entire OBS Studio instance, which makes almost everything stop working correctly.

Fantastic Plugin!! Only missing two key features that would make this a must have for every OBS user wanting this type of functionality. The ability for the recordings to support multi track audio recording as well as the ability for the recordings and the replay buffer clips to be optionally auto remuxed to MP4 when recording in MKV these features would just add that cherry on top to an already incredibly useful plugin.

I have done it, I have finally managed to configure the camera separately from the PC, thank you very much!

Using it with multiple cameras, and it's like having the ISO recording feature of BlackMagic ATEM MINI PRO ISO, without any of the limitations or the hefty price tag.

I created an OBS account just to review this plugin. I was super excited to use it, and after playing around with it, it seemed like it would work well.

Unfortunately, after over 8 hours of recording, the file got corrupted. I paid money to use repair software to recover it, and after some time managed to recover the video...only to find that all of the gameplay footage is pixelated beyond belief. Testing it out, this is not an issue with recovery--all of my gameplay video comes out pixelated when using this plugin. Tons of time and money wasted.

I used this plugin to capture raw game footage across four sessions, and the second and fourth recordings are completely corrupted and impossible to view. The half that works has poor picture quality compared to the source and the vanilla OBS recording I made alongside it. A great concept that's too unstable to trust.

Really neat concept but doesn't work.

I'm encountering a problem where the length of the recordings do not sync up. The original has the full duration, but the source recordings are both shorter. The footage looks sped up and the audio is desynced because of it. I've tried using Software encoder, as well as x264 encoder, with the exact same settings across all recordings, but nothing seems to fix the issue.

I also have been experiencing a similar issue when it comes to replay buffer recordings, as well as an odd bug where sometimes it will only capture 1 (or sometimes none) of the source recordings. The times it does capture all of them during replay buffer recordings, the duration of all of the recording are always completely different from each other.

Source-record is so amazing and fantastic! Thank you! I use it to capture a browser window displaying telemetry data from simulations like Gran Turismo 7, iRacing and ACC along with other source filters using source-record on a foot pedal cam and over the shoulder cam to see in the controller activities of a pilots race seat goings on and then the main display, A fair bit of recordings, but absolutely fantastic and makes for great quality streaming and recordings!

I have only one hope/request, that I have listed in the discussions here, for a marking/syncing across the source-records for easy editing time frame alignment.

So much potential! Excellent when it works, but been having lots of problems with footage being sped up, and audio not syncing up. To the point where source record is several seconds SHORTER than the original recording. Wondering if a fix will be available soon!

All great but, if you use Screen Capture with this plugin, when you open a file as administrator the record crashes.

Have been using this plugin for a while now to record my webcam and then my desktop separate but recently it seems to not want to record multiple sources into their own file. It will only record one source and seem to just ignore the other. Any suggesting on what the cause could be?

So I really like source record the only thing I noticed that the recording does kind of bug out after a while using game capture I hope there is a fix for this soon. It would also be nice to have a plugin with OBS like replay buffer to toggle the source recording on and off.

As cool as an idea as this is, I've yet to get the replay buffer working. I have installed everything fresh and tried it in brand new scene collections, but no joy as of yet. If I can figure it out, I'll be a happy chap.

I saw this comment earlier so I copy & pasted it because I'm experiencing similar issues. Really interested to see if I'm doing anything wrong that might be causing this.

I fee like in my last rating i didn't leave enough information. Basically i can only record Audio tracks "None" and "Track 1". If I try to record Track 2 - 6 the recording never starts.

This makes it difficult to record multiple sources without audio getting mixed into other recordings

I have been using 28.0.1 Beta, It is oddly that When asking screen recording, only 8-bit out is allowed whatever I have instructed via ffmpeg options. I have tried different options such as record direcly, I have read it is 10-bit out.

Plugin is great when it works, but I keep having issues with the video/audio getting out of sync throughout the duration of a recording. By the end of a recording, the audio is multiple seconds off instead of completely synchronized like it was at the start. Also this thing crashes a lot so that's kind of annoying.
