SMPlayer Support Forum

Hi there,

I use SMPLayer with DVB-C.
It works fine, very very well.
But, the recording button at the buttom is just grey, I cannot click on it....
Ho do you enable the "start recording button"?

Software used:
SMPlayer 17.11.0
mpv 0.25.0

( MPlayer-1.2.r37916 is installed, but I use mpv currently )

This option is disabled by default because it only works with a very few file formats and it may not work as expected.

To enable it, you need to edit smplayer.ini, search for capture_directory and set it to the folder where you want the capture file to be saved.

I´ve now set capture_directory and the button is available now.
But..... when hitting the button I just get unknown property: ´stream-capture´

Shouldn´t a stream that can be played always be able to get saved to disk?

Wait, could this be solved by switching from mpv to mplayer. I´ll try that.

Thanks
