Hey @Exeldro, I found a bug with the current version that's getting in the way of using the frame stepping feature. For one, playback pauses indefinitely as the code gets stuck in an infinite loop when:
1. Using loop single end action
2. Playing backwards
3. Reaching the "end" (the start of the replay)
I tried fixing this, and uncovered some strange behavior in the frame stepping logic. I've fixed that logic, so that stepping and resuming playback always starts from the right place. Before, sometimes the playback would errantly resume from the beginning or end of the replay.
Could you please take a look and see if the the changes are acceptable? I had trouble understanding your previous changes here:

This would be amazing! We'd need to refactor these controls somehow.
Hey Exeldro,
When saving a replay to file, the FLV audio is very grainy / noisy, and as AVI I can only get it to load into VLC, where it has no audio at all. Neither of these can be imported into any of my video editing products either. What codec is the audio and video in for FLV and AVI? Any chance there's an Export to MP4 option?

Good day. Just a question. Im using a switcher 3 cams - Main CAM at the Center and 2 sidelines. I want to get the replay of the sidelines only. How can I do that in OBS? Thank you!

Would love to see a revamp of this plugin because it consumes so much ram (about 2.5gb for 5sec replay) and make possible some options like start playing from the beginning when the source is visible, clear the replay cache when it ends, when I save the replay (having 3 replays) it only saves the first one even if I wait to have all the replays loaded and then save it.
I feel like the Replay Buffer of OBS with your Instant Replay Lua outpowers this plugin
I would gladly suggest more things to make it better for live productions!

Hey there @Exeldro
i love that plugin - great work.
We use it as a multi cam replay for 5 ndi cameras - works great so far (25gb of RAM for all 5 1080p60 cams).
To control the replays, like speed or trim, we use companion/streamdeck. If we do "real" keyboard shortcuts, it works great but if we try to use the hotkey id to trigger, it is not working. I think the hotkey id of all 5 instances are the same, but pressing the action does not trigger all 5 but none.
Is that maybe easy fixable or do we need to use keyboard hotkeys (we stream 6 fields parallel and we are running out of available hotkey combinations :D even with f13 to F24)
thanks

Hello, thank you so much for your work.
I have a question, I was using the plugin with no issue till I bought NDI camera.
It seems the plugin is not able to get sound from NDI devices. If I select any mic I have, it works ok. But if I select the NDI camera mic it does not record the sound on the replay file. Any idea ?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have a rather urgent question because I have some bugs with the save function in this plugin or I don't know how to use it properly and I want to use it for a live event next week.
I want to save my replay immediately after loading it into my deck to use it for a highlight cut on social media. So I assigned it the same hotkey to start both actions (load + save).
Now everything works fine, but at a certain point the recordings are either recorded faster than normal speed, or they freeze at the end of the replay and record a still image for about 10 seconds (the duration of this still image changes without any pattern).
I am using two replay sources for two cameras and can't figure out what is causing this bug. I also have a hotkey assigned to some speed changes (half speed, normal speed, 2/3 slower), but the bug in the recorded .flv file also happens when I leave the speed at 100%.
Do you have any idea what I could change or is this a known issue?
Regards
Manuel

Do you have latest version
Have you tried saving as lossless (AVI file)? flv is pretty much a dead format.
Save immediately? You need to give it a bit of delay to finish recording. How much depends on your puter power
Hello @Exeldro , I read your previous responses about frames RAM compression,
but what if instead of rewriting the whole plugin, you did this instead:
Basically create another buffer to hold a raw frame + compressed container, all in RAM.
Then later you decide to keep or delete that replay, it does not have to be playable or have that one frame.
The reason for one frame is that you can show it as a preview later.
Just being able to stack these replays in the "cold" playlist would be a huge improvement in terms of RAM savings and workflow flexibility IMHO.

hey, is anyoone having issues with flv playback speed? when i save from my ndi ptz cameras, the audio speed is normal but video speed is 200%. the video ends due to that after 6 seconds but the sound ends at 12 seconds - replay duration is set to 12000ms. and any idea how i can fix those broken flv recordings? thx
