Question / Help Pause/Resume hotkeys

[mordecad]

Hello, I have defined hotkeys for pause/resume recording but they does not work at all.

OBS Studio 25.0.8 (64-bit)
Windows 10 Pro [Version 10.0.18362.657]

I am having the same issue. In earlier versions it worked.

Pause/resume recording will not work if you're "using stream encoder" for your recording. It can only work using a separate encoding process.

 

[John77]

I am not streaming. I am only recording.

 

[carlmmii]

That doesn't matter. Do you have dedicated settings for your recording encoding, or is it set to "use stream encoder"?

Recording Quality: Same as stream

 

[John77]

Warning: Recordings cannot be paused if the recording quality is set to "Same as stream".
Ugh! Is this new? I must have had it not set to "Same as stream" when pause worked.
Sorry I missed the message.

 

[carlmmii]

The "Same as stream" setting is definitely not new. The ability to pause recordings is the newer feature there, and the restriction has been in place since it was added.

Thank you again for the clarification.
