Firstly want to say thanks to Exeldro for making this plugin. It has been very useful despite it's caveats.

I have found a solution for those who have latency problems between recordings.

Firstly, identify which sources that have the latencies by doing a test recording.

Once you have identified the sources, add a render delay of 60 milliseconds (ms) before the source record filter.

Whilst the sources will still have skipped frames (a little bit of the time being cut off the master-feed), it should now be in sync.

This plugin does cause quite a few crashes, but it happens less when I've added a "-disable-shutdown-check" parameter on my OBS shortcut.

Unfortunately Exeldro has said himself that to rectify these problems he would need to redesign the whole project, which I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't do it.

So hope this fix is a good one and helps people with their projects!
This add-on is exactly what I need.

Works somewhat well at first but after a couple hours, it starts taking over the GPU. Installing it sets to GPU encoding via nvenc, even though beforehand it's set to software x264 low cpu mode, and I can't change it because it says output is active. Also, when I close OBS, it freezes, and performance becomes a bit too low to play VR.

I would love to use this add-on in the future if the bugs and other issues are fixed. I suggest adding the ability to segment the recordings so if OBS crashes after x minutes, you still have a bunch of video files already backed up. I personally would like my recordings to be under 50 minutes so they can easily be scrubbed later.
OBS 27.2.3
Using this on my "Capture Sources" Scene
Works perfectly fine, and now with the new 0.3 update the Hotkey fuzzle for "Save Replay" is sorted out.

Thanks for this amazing Plugin Exeldro!
Hi! I've been experiencing the audio crackling issue listed in the known issues. Just wanted to ask if there's any ETA on a fix for this? It makes the plugin pretty hard to use.

Also, I noticed that after using the Source Record filter, when I try to close OBS it freezes and I have to force close it.

Thanks for the work on this!
Hello, I am a beginner Korean streamer.

I am so happy that thanks to this plugin, I no longer have to use multiple instances of OBS.

This plugin records exactly the source I want; it is just like a mini-OBS inside OBS.

I would like to express my gratitude once again.감사합니다
Not sure if anyone else has run into the same problem, but a lot of the times the final source recording either gets corrupted fully or only renders part of the recording (e.g. there's no video in the output at all or there's only some of it recorded). If anyone can help, that'd be appreciated.
Highly unstable on two m macbooks with Tahoe. One with m1, second with m4. Working great Sequoia m4, but on Tahoe crashes even when i enter scene collection with it. Crashes when i exit the obs when i have this plugin. It's totally unusable...
I like the plugin, but I miss an explanation of how to use the replay buffer. You can't set up a hotkey for it or anything else. Does anyone know how this works?
listen this plugin is great. but i cant use it properly until i can record multiple audio tracks at once with it cause i dont want to record 3 files at once

You can record all OBS audio tracks in a single source record recording
I was excited when I saw that the latest update increased the replay buffer time. However, I just can't get any audio into the file. It doesn't matter whether I use (h264) or h264 without the parentheses. It doesn't matter whether I use all audio tracks or just a mixed track. I have the filter applied to a scene; maybe that’s the reason, but it’s always worked on scenes before. Too bad.
Great plugin that allows me to record clean gameplay from my stream. Only issue I have is that it doesn't support multiple track audio recording. If this feature was added, it'd be even better!
great plugin, but with this new version I'm having an issue with audio, I selected different audio and my capture card audio, but instead of capturing only the card audio, it captures all my pc audio, even my microphone...
This plugin has a little bugs when I use it but the plugin is fine
Just the plugin I want! But the obs can't be opened again if I didn't delete this plugin before I close the obs,
Wonderful, phenomenal, splendid ...what a plugin...
I do lives with more than one camera, and one of the difficulties was saving the images from all cameras which made me record on camera cards. Now everything is easier, with only my regie I control all recordings from all cameras... Exeldro, congratulations.
The Source Record plugin is really awesome. It allows us to record individual scenes or sources.

Exeldro now even added an awesome new feature in Source Record 0.2.0 for us: the ability to locally record and/or remotely stream (via e.g. RTMP) the scenes/sources it is applied to. This opens a completely new world of possibilities where, for instance, presenters of a Zoom/Teams/Jitsi-based online event can be given an OBS Studio "portable" distribution (with Source Record included and pre-configured for them) which allows them to pass-through their webcam (via the OBS Virtual Camera) and AT THE SAME TIME either locally record theirself or be remotely recorded (by the event director). This way they can participate in real-time and in mid-quality, but their camera and screen shares can be still recorded in high quality!
this is the only (working) solution i found on internet to record seperated sources... excelent job... PLEASE, GIVE SUPPORT FOR PRISM LIVE
Awesome plugin, great work!
This is great, my only issue remains to be the fact that its really finicky at the start and I still cannot get it to fully work unfortunately.

The concept of recording sources is absolutely amazing for video editors and streamers, it essentially allows for you to have your cake (stream) and eat it to (remove the overlay and use it for videos).

Currently my main issue is that audio recorded is very glitchy and stutters consistently which means that this plugin just isn't personally viable but if you can get this working, it is great.

Best of luck, this is really good when it works.
Great plugin, I do have an issue with recording a different audio source becoming delayed. Any idea what may cause this?
