    OBS Rarely Does It's Job and When It Does It's Garbage

    Hello. OBS has been failing me non-stop for reasons unknown. The record buffer button almost never works - it just won't save the last five minutes unless I reset the buffer, which means the content I wanted to record is wiped anyhow. Maybe because it gets full - but then why doesn't it just...

    Cant use Replay Buffer in FFmpeg mode

    So I was wondering why when changing the Recording Type from "Standard" to "Custom Output (FFmpeg)" the option to use the Replay Buffer disappears. Is this a kind of bug or limitation? Or is it done on purpose and why?

    Replay Buffer Not Recording For Correct Amount of Time

    Title. I set the replay buffer to record for 240 seconds (four minutes), and so far it's produced just a single clip (of like 15) that is actually four minutes long. They often come out as 2:32/2:40 minute long clips, sometimes even just a minute or so. Really frustrating problem, I don't know...

    When I hit Ctrl + Z, the hotkey I've used for a long time, the replay buffer is made, but it's spread across multiple mini .ts clips, + a m3u8 file. I checked my output, for whatever reason my output switched from .ts to m3u8. I had NEVER switched my output at any point or time. This problem...

    Record and replay buffer won't work

    Hey everyone, I want to record Minecraft at 240 FPS (replay Buffer and 240 FPS makes sense in this case because 240 instead of 60 is really cool for slowmos and montage stuff which is what I want xd).

    Question / Help Replay Buffer Autostart / Hotkey

    Hey everyone, is there a way to have OBS start the replay buffer when it's started or is there a chance to set a hot key to start the replay buffer? All I can find is a hotkey to save the buffer but it's odd to have to activate it manually all the time (most of the time I just forget it and the...

    Question / Help I want the OBS Replay Buffer to save 20 minutes of footage.

    I have the replay buffer time on OBS set to 1200 seconds which is 20 minutes, but when I hit the button to save the replay it only ends up saving the past 8 minutes and 49 seconds of footage. Does OBS simply not save more than that, or is this a hardware/settings issue of mine?
