recording from HD channel insane video size #26

I've a problem, whenever i record from a HD channel in VLC with htsp plugin the size gets insane and whenever i stop VLC from recording it just freezes and ending up using all my ram. I did a record the other day for 1 hour and the file went up to 300gb which is crazy.

I've tried to record from a SD channel with no problems, that works just fine. So i'm not sure why HD channels gets so fucked when i try and it doesn't matter what HD channel i try it will do it with every HD channel. Is there something i can change in VLC settings to maybe prevent this so i could actually record from a HD channel? :)

No idea how this might be happening, sounds like some weird bug in VLC or one of its muxers though.

i tried with 32bit of VLC and the htsp plugin and same issue.

When i try to downgrade vlc to earlier version htsp dont even show up in vlc settings. So i guess newer version of htsp dont support older version of vlc.

The plugin supports all versions of vlc just fine. A plugin binary is allways compiled against one specific version of VLC though. So you'll have to build it yourself for legacy versions.
