#### How can I convert the recordings to mp4 / mkv?
|
|
To convert the files to another format, you have to remux them. You don't have to reencode them, since the
|
|
files (usually, have not seen an exception yet) already contain H.264 video and AAC audio. You can remux the
|
|
files manually with tools like [Avidemux](/docs/Avidemux.md), [MKVToolNix](/docs/MKVToolNix.md) or
|
|
[FFmpeg](/docs/FFmpeg.md) or use one of the [post-processing](/docs/PostProcessing.md) scripts.
|
|
|
|
#### Streams are not getting recorded even though the model is online
|
|
- Is "Leave space on device set" and do you have enough space left?
|
|
- Is "Maximum resolution" set? In case maximum resolution is set and ctbrec cannot determine the
|
|
resolution of a stream, the stream will not be recorded.
|
|
- Is "Concurrent Recordings" set and you reached the maximum?
|
|
|
|
#### How can I playback the recorded .ts files?
|
|
Use one of the following players:
|
|
- [mpv](https://mpv.io/installation/)
|
|
- [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
|
|
|
|
#### How can I playback the server recordings?
|
|
Use one of the following players:
|
|
- [mpv](https://mpv.io/installation/)
|
|
- [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
|
|
|
|
If you have direct access to the recordings you can use these players and open the playlist.m3u8.
|
|
Otherwise use the ctbrec client. Set the **Record Location** to **Remote** and configure your server.
|
|
Under **General** select the **Player** of your choice. Then you can start the playback directly from the
|
|
**Recordings** tab.

|
#### The login for site XYZ does not work anymore and the credentails work in a browser
|
|
Stop CTB Recorder. Then open the settings directory (check [ConfigurationFile](/docs/ConfigurationFile.md) for the location) and
|
|
delete the cookies file for that site. Start CTB Recorder again and it should work again. If it does not work, check the log
|
|
file for errors. The log file is called ctbrec.log and you can find it in the installation directory of CTB Recorder.
|
|
If that does not work go back to your settings directory, go up to the parent directory and delete ctbrec-minimal-browser, if it
|
|
exists.
|
|
|
|
#### It takes a long time until a recording starts for a model
|
|
You probably have a lot of models in the "Recording" list. CTB Recorder checks the models one after the other. This is done on
|
|
purpose to not fire too many requests in a short amount of time, because this can cause blocks by the camsites.
|
|
|
|
#### Can I run several instances of CTB Recorder
|
|
It is possible to define the configuration directory and configuration file, which is used by ctbrec. This way you
|
|
can create several instances with different configurations.
|
|
On Windows, create a file called `ctbrec.l4j.ini` right next to `ctbrec.exe`. Add one of the following settings
|
|
or both to the file:
|
|
|
|
To change the config directory:
|
|
|
|
`-Dctbrec.config.dir=C:\Users\boobface\Desktop\ctbrec\conf`
|
|
|
|
To change only the config file:
|
|
|
|
`-Dctbrec.config=abc.json`
|
|
|
|
On Linux and macOS edit `ctbrec.sh` and add one or both of the above mentioned settings to the start line (preferably directly after $JAVA):
|
|
|
|
`$JAVA -Dctbrec.config=alternate-settings.json -Djdk.gtk.version=3 -cp ctbrec-1.19.1-final.jar ctbrec.ui.Launcher`
