Hi everyone,
First of all - amazing plugin, @Exeldro thanks a lot for it! I'm using it for sports events live streaming. And here is a use case where I can't find proper solution within the plugin.
I have 11 seconds configured as replay duration. I need all that duration for my highlights video that I'm building after the stream. But during the live stream I would like to show only last 5 seconds of my replay. How can I achieve that? I guess if I add another replay source of different duration it will not work well from performance perspective. I see there are rewind actions available but they are frames based while in my case I need time based navigation/rewind. I believe frames are not reliable enough because OBS may drop frames in case of GPU overload (which is the case when replays from several cameras are loading and being saved to the disk).
Any ideas on how to be in my case? Appreciate your support.

Having trouble getting this plugin to work properly in OBS v32.0.2. I've set the clip duration to 10000ms but when I save a clip, it's only 24kb - I only get a flash of video when I load the replay. Any help is appreciated. I'd love to get this working on a multiple camera live sports stream.

Alright! With a bit more futzing about, I've got the Replay Source working and have now made 2 of them using unique video input sources! Very cool stuff!

How did you do it? Did you change the plugin?

It was a question of translating "plugin dev" instructions for the app into English for mere mortals. Devs are historically terrible at writing simple instructions for their plugins or apps. It makes sense, given that they wrote the plugin, so are intimately familiar with how it works, unlike us plebs who need a bit of direction.
Anyway, here's what I did after installing the plugin and restarting OBS:
Still working out how to set a transition for the Next Scene. The plugin seems to default o the last used transition, but that's not what I want. I use a custom Stinger transition for most scene changes but want a simply Cut transition from the replay to the next scene.
Anyway, here's what I did after installing the plugin and restarting OBS:
- Created a new scene and added a Replay Source to it.
- Opened the Properties window for the source and set the Video Source to my first camera
- Left Audio Source blank as I don't want audio
- Set Duration to 5000ms (5 sec)
- Set Load Delay to 1000ms (gives me time for my stinger to run)
- Maximum Replays - 1 (I only want it to play once)
- Visibility Action - Restart
- End Action - Hide after Single
- Next Scene - set to the scene I want to go to after playing the replay
- Speed Percentage - 60 for a slower replay
- Directory - set the path to where you want the replay clips saved
- Filename Formatting - I left this at the default, but feel free to play
- Load Replay Switch Scene - set to the scene containing the Replay Source
- Click OK to save.
- Go to Settings > Hotkeys and scroll down to find your Replay Source
- Set at least 2 hotkeys - the Save Replay and Load Replay hotkeys

Write everything out and forgot to tag you on it. See my other reply.

One correction to my steps above.
The Maximum Replays field is set to the maximum number of replays to keep in memory. I just want one replay (I'm using this for live sports, not clipping for a highlight reel for instance).

Hi I have an PowerBook with M4 processor and installed the arm version of the Mac Plugin. But it does not work. ChatGPT said that there is a lot missing with the plugin and that I should use an older version but I cannot find any. Any ideas how I could get it run? I`m recording Basketball games of a junior league and it would be very awesome to have multi angle slomo
