Source Record 0.4.8

Good plugin but it needs to severely updated, I've had issues with OBS crashing when launching/closing with this plugin in one of my sources, altough it's a known issue new NVENC is a bit dodgy. Viewers reporting issues of my gameplay dropping frames (facecam is fine), I disable the plugin and it's fixed.

Needs updating!

I only use this plugin to create slow-motion videos, but when I set the replay buffer to 6 seconds, I get files that are randomly between 1.5 and 15 seconds long. Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help me? I've never had this problem before (only since an update). Thanks.

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?

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.

Just the plugin that I need! but i have a problem ...

When i install it, open obs, put the filter on a source, make some tests, check the output, ok, close the obs. When i try to open again, it won't load the scenes, just the basic UI. i can only use this by uninstalling e installing again everytime.

I got a second instance of OBS for my recordings, capturing the screen, this one are still open here without any error. And if i can open with the Second Scene Collection and Second Profile, it opens, load everything, but if change to the First Scene Collection, that have Source Recording in ONE Source, nope, it won't load, not a crash, but it's freezed.
I will use this plugin anyway with the Un/Re install method for now.
Amazing plugin, thanks =)

This is really not a selective recording replacement Streamlabs has, for anyone interested. And since there's all that dirty laundry being aired out about Streamlabs, I was hoping to find a good replacement for Streamlabs but this plug-in doesn't do enough to replace that and I'm forced to simply open two OBS instances for now which I've wanted to avoid.

Main problems:
- Crashing. It caused OBS to just suddenly become so incredibly unstable and I would have to toggle it off after I finished recording. Every time I would reopen OBS, it would crash instantly and trying to toggle off Source Record was a massive chore. It became such a hassle to fix this problem.
- Cannot record multiple sources at the same time at an acceptable quality. If you try to apply the filter over a group/folder of sources so you can just record them all, the video framerate drops and it looks so incredibly terrible. This is the biggest problem I have because I want to record more than one source at a time while still getting rid some other overlays.

Recording one source at a time is fine, and if you only need that then this plug-in works. But I can't recommend this plug-in at all if you want the same type of selective recording Streamlabs has, which is the biggest unironic positive over OBS and this plug-in. I'm willing to walk this all back if there are improvements, but I have never felt more frustration and anger at stuff not going right than now. I just hope there's an official implementation of selective recording some time in the future.

A very good plugin idea. So far no bugs and it works. The file size of the recording however is pretty large. I wish that there is an option to downscale the resolution of the recording.

An absolutely fantastic plugin and by one of the absolute best developer/engineers ever. Excellent improvements and truly top notch. The plugin is so full of incredible features, it's just near perfect!

This could be very cool. I'm having an issue where the audio does not record & every time I hit "stop recording" the cams will freeze, the audio claims to still be going through the meters & OBS is frozen as well. When I close force close OBS the files will have saved but, alas, no audio. I am using the newest version & can upload the log files if the creator of this would like to help out.

Seria bom se você pudesse colocar a função de divisão por tempo como uma opção na próxima atualização, desde já ótimo plugin.

I absolutely love this plugin, but I have a couple issues with it atm :
- If I close or resize the game while streaming, it crashes OBS. I am using a "Game Capture" source with the source-record filter directly on it. Would love for that bug to be sorted out. I can provide crash reports.

- It can only record all sounds, or a single sound track. This is problematic because one of the main use-cases of that plugin is to record the gameplay without the stream effects / sounds to produce a "clean" VOD that can be transformed into an edited video.
So for this reason, we can't really use the "record all sounds" cause that would include stream sound effects. The record a single track works if you just want the game sound, but what if you also want your voice ?
You could put both on the same audio track, and record that track, but then they are mixed together and you can't adjust them individually, which is a problem. I am currently working around this problem by recording a 2nd video source which is basically a transparent image and use it to target my microphone sound. Would love to have a single file to work with

Works really well until it suddenly doesn't. These are my problems with it:
- No support for muxer settings, so I can't set "movflags=+frag_keyframe+empty_moov" like in OBS itself.
- Resolution switches in sources is not handled properly, if at all.
- Audio often just doesn't work even with the provided steps.
- Does not prevent itself from writing to the exact same file it may already be writing to.
- Does not apply defaults from an encoder to the UI, which results in horribly broken default settings.
