Hello, I'm having a problem when I use your plugin with an RTMP video source...
The source disconnects from the plugin and stops recording.
I have to disable the plugin, then re-enable it for it to work... but only for a few seconds...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi is anybody else unable to download source record file, got a warning mircosoft defender detected a potiental risk with this download doesnt want me to download
 
Hello @Exeldro this is one of my first posts, so I hope I am not too demanding. I have a question about the Replay Buffer, which currently requires Source Record to be recording to be functional. My question is, is there any possible way to use the Replay Buffer functionality with Source Record, without the plugin already making a recording? My issue is file space. I do not want the huge recording of the entire session, I only want the retroactive clips.

PS: I have hotkeys set up for Replay Buffer (separate from your plugin) and "Source Record - Save Replay" for the source I want, which is my webcam in a specific scene.

If there is any solution that can achieve this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'm having the same issue on my Mac. It will not allow me to install the plug-in.

Hello guys, thanks for your work!

I want to share my experience with this plugin.
The replay buffer works pretty well for a few sources, but during a stream, I lost about half of the frames due to encoder issues. I tried using a different encoder specifically for streaming, but it didn’t help resolve the frame loss.


Could you please help with this?
My PC is Lenovo legion 5 with video card 3060, may it helps you to understands issues.

I'm having the same issue on my Mac. It will not allow me to install the plug-in.
If you go into System Settings -> Privacy & Security and scroll down to the Security section, there should be a prompt to bypass Gatekeeper that says something like "'source-rec...versal.pkg'" was blocked to protect your Mac." There is a button there that says "Open Anyway" and it will prompt for an admin password.

After that, it should install normally.

Is there a way to get source record to properly save video with a transparent background rather than a solid black one? I have my OBS and VTubeStudio set up so that OBS receives it as transparent. Even when looking at the filters and while on the source record filter in OBS it shows the source with a transparent background. I've tried several changes of settings in different places in OBS but none seem to let it export transparent which where the issue is. The file always exports with a black background in the video and I'm unsure why.

I've changed around encoder, video format, color format, color space, container format, ffmpeg output type, and video encoder trying to see if I could get it to but it seems to not work so far. I may just be missing something totally obvious but for now I'm unsure how to get a fully transparent source recorded.

On OBS 31.0.6 (Mac OS Sequoia ARM), it works very well, and I find it very well made. Not too many features but still everything we need. I'd just like to understand better what the encoding settings at the bottom do, since I thought it just records the source, which in my world means, don't re-encode, just save to disk what's streamed without any new processing. Thanks !

Just started using this plugin to record my second monitor as a separate file.
The main OBS settings save my main desktop/monitor.
I have a second using source record.

Both the source record and main record have the same settings for output.
Both videos seem to have all the same size, codec, duration, etc...
The second monitor ends up over 3x as large in file size.

See screenshot. Main is 1.8g (Left side) while the source record is 7g (Right side).

Why is the source record video so large in file size?
