    Love OBS! It's so far ahead of proprietary apps in so many areas, it's incredibly impressive

    Did they finally fix the bug where if you have less than ~40gb storage the recording will just randomly die for no reason with no notice, it is unimaginably annoying

    While we're here, does anyone know a screen recording application that automatically takes into account display changes, audio device changes, camera resets, etc.?

    I'm making do with OBS, but I lose more video to "plugged in external monitor and forgot to update OBS config" than I actually record.

      This could probably be automated using either an OBS plugin (if you really want deep integration and not running another program) or a standalone program (written in whatever language you want) that listens for display changes and pokes OBS using its websocket API. The hooks are definitely there to update source configs.

        Surely the main function of a capture program should be to capture video, no matter what, even if that means capturing too much / uninteresting sources some of the time?

          People streaming things mights disagree.

      I too frequently plug and unplug dock and external displays. It's a little painful to keep checking and sometimes re-add display source to get the default screen and voice recording working.

      I wonder if the "modern" way for problems of this nature is to fork the open-source repo and ask your favourite agent to strip it down to bare essentials that you need (performance gains) and add the specific feature enhancements you want (needs to work only for your configuration -- may not pass the quality standard needed for a PR)

      I made a little script that reconnects everything the way I want it on launch via WebSocket. Works great

    Is solved the source disconnection with macOS ? Even it's an OS problem.

      Easily fixable with a script that sets things up as you want it on launch via websocket
