Question / Help Recording

[IAAMRadio]

I checked the box to record but I don;t want it to start automatically, I would lke to start it myself. Currently You have to stop it because it starts auto. Great feature, just looking for a little tweak.

Upgrade to the latest OBS version (0.624), it got separate buttons for this now.

 

[IAAMRadio]

You mis understood, in the setting if you have save to file checked and then go live OBS automatically starts to record. I don;t want it to do that. I want to hit the start record myself. I have the latest version with those buttons. Appreciate the reply though.

Hm, it still does seem to automatically start recording when streaming and when you have it set to record. I can't remember if there was a design flaw internally that made it this way though

Any Chance before you release the next version your team can look into this?

 

[IAAMRadio]

Is there a plan to fix this?

So is there a plan to fix this?

Again is there a plan to fix this?

Wow I have asked this a ton an no reply. I really like OBS and we plug it all the time on our shows but come on this issue should be fixed. The system should record auto it should give the option. right now I have to hit, "Stop Record" every time we start a live vid feed.

There's nothing to "fix". An option to allow you to start streaming without automatically starting recording has already been implemented, and will be in the next version.

Yes, change should be included in the next release. Sorry for not letting you know. Here is the commit, in case you're interested: https://github.com/jp9000/OBS/commit/d036faa33e1e4e8e4840f245a4e5ca9593812630

I haven't released a new version yet because I'm waiting on some tests for a game capture update (which includes directx 8 and directdraw capture, coded by bl00drav3n) at the moment

Yes, there is an option but when you unceck that box then the recording option on the control panel is not there. So read further down on this page, turns out there is a fix.

Thank you, looking forward to the new release. Great SW and appreciate what you and the team are doing.

Thanks, for the link, looking forward to the next version.

You misread my reply. When I said that it would be in the next version, I was referring to the exact same thing as dodgepong and Jim. My point still stands, it's not a fix, it's just addition of different behavior. It never worked in an unintended way. It was simply designed to automatically start recording when you start streaming, but now it has been changed according to your wishes.
