Hello guys,
I have been trying to create my own recorder script but i have 1 major issue, when ever i try to run it, the Game view, Scene and Console freezes. I have no idea why, but the last thing i see in the console is:
Here is my Recorder script:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor.Recorder;
using UnityEditor.Recorder.Input;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
public class RecorderControl : MonoBehaviour
{
private RecorderController recorderController;
private MovieRecorderSettings movieRecorderSettings;
private string sceneName;
private string sessionFolder;
public int recordingIndex = 1; // Starts at 1 for each session
[SerializeField] private float recordingInterval = 70f;
public int maxRecordings = 5; // Number of recordings before quitting
void Awake()
{
sceneName = GetSceneName();
Application.runInBackground = true;
sessionFolder = CreateNewRecordingFolder();
Debug.Log($"Created recording folder: {sessionFolder}");
SetupRecorderInitial();
}
// Set up the recorder only once at startup
void SetupRecorderInitial()
{
var recorderControllerSettings = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<RecorderControllerSettings>();
recorderControllerSettings.FrameRate = 60;
recorderControllerSettings.CapFrameRate = true;
recorderControllerSettings.FrameRatePlayback = FrameRatePlayback.Constant;
recorderController = new RecorderController(recorderControllerSettings);
movieRecorderSettings = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<MovieRecorderSettings>();
movieRecorderSettings.name = sceneName;
movieRecorderSettings.Enabled = true;
var gameViewSettings = new GameViewInputSettings
{
OutputWidth = 1080,
OutputHeight = 1920
};
movieRecorderSettings.ImageInputSettings = gameViewSettings;
movieRecorderSettings.AudioInputSettings.PreserveAudio = true;
movieRecorderSettings.RecordMode = RecordMode.TimeInterval;
movieRecorderSettings.StartTime = 0f;
movieRecorderSettings.EndTime = recordingInterval;
recorderControllerSettings.AddRecorderSettings(movieRecorderSettings);
StartCoroutine(PrepareRecorder());
}
IEnumerator PrepareRecorder()
{
yield return null;
recorderController.PrepareRecording();
Debug.Log("Recorder prepared.");
}
// Instead of reinitializing the recorder, update the OutputFile and re-prepare
public IEnumerator SetupRecorderForNewRecording()
{
string fileName = $"{sceneName}_{recordingIndex}.mp4";
movieRecorderSettings.OutputFile = $"{sessionFolder}/{fileName}";
Debug.Log($"Setting up new recording: {fileName}");
yield return StartCoroutine(PrepareRecorder());
}
public void StartRecording()
{
if (recorderController.IsRecording())
{
Debug.LogWarning("Recording is already in progress.");
return;
}
Debug.Log($"Starting recording: {sceneName}_{recordingIndex}.mp4 (Auto stops after {recordingInterval} sec).");
recorderController.StartRecording();
}
public void ForceStopRecording()
{
if (recorderController.IsRecording())
{
recorderController.StopRecording();
Debug.LogError($"Recording {sceneName}_{recordingIndex}.mp4 stopped after {recordingInterval} seconds.");
recordingIndex++; // Increment for next recording
}
}
public void QuitGame()
{
Debug.LogError("Quitting Unity...");
#if UNITY_EDITOR
UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false; // Stop play mode in Editor
#else
Application.Quit();
#endif
}
string GetSceneName()
{
return SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
}
string CreateNewRecordingFolder()
{
string basePath = Path.Combine(Application.dataPath, "../Recordings/");
string sessionName = $"Session_{DateTime.Now:yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss}";
string fullPath = Path.Combine(basePath, sessionName);
if (!Directory.Exists(fullPath))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(fullPath);
}
return fullPath;
}
}
And here is a scirpt where i use it:
void Start()
{
goal = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Goal");
hook = canvaHook.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject;
rc = rcGO.GetComponent<RecorderControl>();
MatchSetUp();
StartCoroutine(MatchLoop());
}
IEnumerator MatchLoop()
{
while (rc.recordingIndex <= rc.maxRecordings) // loop to keep matches going
{
float interval = 65f + timeToWait;
float startTime = Time.time;
float endTime = startTime + interval;
Debug.Log($"Waiting for {interval} seconds -> {Time.time}");
// Precise waiting loop
while (Time.time < endTime)
{
yield return null; // Wait for the next frame without blocking
}
rc.ForceStopRecording();
// Execute MatchSetUp precisely at the correct time
Debug.Log($"Starting new match at -> {Time.time}");
MatchSetUp();
}
Debug.LogError($"All {rc.maxRecordings} recordings completed. Exiting game...");
yield return null;
rc.QuitGame();
}
IEnumerator StartCountDown(float timeToWait)
{
// Capture the exact start time
float startTime = Time.time;
float endTime = startTime + timeToWait;
// Wait until the precise end time is reached
while (Time.time < endTime)
{
yield return null; // allow Unity to continue updating frames
}
// Immediately execute after exact time elapsed
Debug.Log($"Timer End -> {Time.time}");
ResetTimer();
UnFreezeBallz();
RestartUIShower();
yield return StartCoroutine(rc.SetupRecorderForNewRecording());
rc.StartRecording();
Debug.Log($"Game Start -> {Time.time}");
}
void MatchSetUp()
{
sp.jsonDataCounter ++;
Debug.Log($"Timer Start -> {Time.time}");
StartCoroutine(StartCountDown(timeToWait));
Debug.Log($"UpdateScene Start -> {Time.time}");
UpdateScene();
}
I can provide more information if needed, but i dont know what can help, so if you need something more just ask
