Latest reviews

I had been using this plugin until the latest version of OBS and suddenly it keeps closing when I have it on as a filter in a source that I want to record. Even the new version has not solved this problem. I think it's a great plugin, but if it doesn't do its job well and causes OBS to fail, it's useless.

I made the case on the forum: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/random-crash-when-displaying-image-source-unhandled-exception-c0000005-fault-address-7fff7db55277.186154/
I like the plugin, but I miss an explanation of how to use the replay buffer. You can't set up a hotkey for it or anything else. Does anyone know how this works?
This plugin isn't working anymore. I have been using this plugin for the last 2 years and have never had a problem with it until now.

The plugin just isn't showing up in the filters of any of my sources. I have tried redownloading both windows zips multiple times.
Hey, unfortunately I can't get the plugin working on the most recent version of OBS. The filter is not showing up at all in the scenes after using both windows install methods.
This plugin its so good, but have a big bug in backtrack feature because U cant stop backtrack and whem try close the OBS hes crash
Source Record is not reliable for me...

The plugin "Branch Output" is to me superior for source recording. And there's a KILLER FEATURE: a docking view of the plugin!

The docking view lets you monitor multiple source recordings in real time with key statistics like recording status, dropped frames, file size, and bitrate. It also makes navigation easier with quick hyperlinks for adjusting filters on the fly.

My friends, say goodbye to corrupted files... Branch Output look like a much more reliable choice. If andilippi makes a video about this plugin it will go huge!
An absolutely fantastic plugin and by one of the absolute best developer/engineers ever. Excellent improvements and truly top notch. The plugin is so full of incredible features, it's just near perfect!
I rate this 5 stars because I feel that, otherwise, I would be ungrateful since this is a so much needed feature in OBS, and I can only but be absolutely thankful to Exeldro for providing it.

Still, I have a very annoying issue - I'm trying to conduct an interview with a guest (recording both sources, which are provided through vdo.ninja), and for some reason, the guest's video and audio get progressively out of sync (audio drifting). I suspect that the reason might be that I listen to the guest's audio through OBS output monitoring - not 100% sure but it's the only difference between their recording (which has audio drift) and mine (which doesn't).

Thanks for this plugin, I just wish there was some way to ensure audio/video are in sync, because this is not just a fixed delay, it keeps increasing throughout the video and is a pain to fix.
Loving this plugin, VERY useful. Wanted to add that after doing some testing with 3 display captures & a webcam recording that I did manage to get Hardware NVENC H264 to work as long as I used Virtual Cam as the activator. Haven't tested with stream as the option but it does indeed fail if recording is the activating choice. I suspect the encoder doesn't want to share if OBS is also using it at the same time that the source recorder is. The performance and quality with hardware working is incredible. I barely hit 1-3% on the CPU. Amazing difference compared to other encoding options.
So I really like source record the only thing I noticed that the recording does kind of bug out after a while using game capture I hope there is a fix for this soon. It would also be nice to have a plugin with OBS like replay buffer to toggle the source recording on and off.
