ShareX FFMPEG Error

[MoistLemon]

Not too sure why this is happening as it was working fine yesterday :

Using latest Windows 10 version (1703 i think) and trying to record a window

Thank you for the help :)

[Scrxtchy]

There is no error within this screenshot's state

[MoistLemon]

This is all that pops up when I try to record anything, I see the timer in the bottom left of the window but it stays stuck at 0, then this appears and nothing else happens. I've tried reinstalling etc. but nothing is helping?

[Scrxtchy]

Post a screenshot of your Screen Recording Settings perhaps?

[Jaex]

Try this previous stable build maybe it will work: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-3.2-win64-static.zip

Extract ffmpeg.exe to Documents\ShareX\Tools folder.

[MoistLemon]

I've run the .bat file in that download but still getting the same error, is there something else I need to do to get it onto the previous build?

Sorry for all the questions, not too familiar with this stuff

[Scrxtchy]

Did you replace the ffmpeg executable that sharex uses from the one inside the zip?

[MoistLemon]

Yep, now I get this error, it's slightly different :

[Scrxtchy]

ahh, please (re)install the screen-capture-recorder utilities

[MoistLemon]

I reinstalled ShareX but still getting the error, is the screen-capture-recorder utilities something different?

[Scrxtchy]

yes

[MoistLemon]

Just did that and it's gone back to the first error again

[Scrxtchy]

Try switching the video source to GDi Grab, test a recording using that Then try again with screen-capture-recorder

[MoistLemon]

When I press the "Test with CMD" button with GDI Grab selected it comes up with this error :

If I switch it back to screen-capture-recorder and do the same it says this :

Thank you for all your help by the way it is really appreciated :)

[Scrxtchy]

Did you set your audio capture to anything? Looks like that's failing on both options Turn it to None for now

[MoistLemon]

Thank you :) The video recording is working now :)

I can add audio after which is what I was planning on doing anyway

Thank you so much again :)

[Scrxtchy]

Re-enabling the audio device may fix it, if windows confused it in the background, as it's reference maybe be properly updated now. But can't say that it would be the truth

[MoistLemon]

Tried re-enabling it and it just came up with the same error as before, no big deal though just glad I can record :)

[Ristarchik]

Only such parameters help. In other cases, as on the bugs above. https://puu.sh/xGip3.png

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

[laggingreflex]

Was getting the same error, I switched from "screen-capture-recorder" to "GDI grab" and it worked for me.

[G3Kappa]

I am also getting the same error but switching to GDI grab doesn't help.

However, I can shed some light on the problem. This error occurs when I switch audio drivers (e.g. when selecting ASIO4ALL and then going back to the system drivers). Nothing short of a system reboot seems to fix this. I've tried disabling my output peripherals to no avail. I also use virtual audio cable, which I thought could be part of the problem, but even after disabling all virtual peripherals I still can't get to fix this without rebooting.

[NNTin]

Experiencing same issue. I've installed ffmpeg.exe in C:\Users\nguye\Documents\ShareX\Tools. Either manually or automatically through ShareX. I did try multiple versions of ffmpeg.exe including latest one.

I did go into the settings

and manually set the video and audio source etc. Nothing helped. Here are my error logs:

doing a normal screenshot, scrolling screenshot works fine. Video capture ffmpeg and gif are not working for me.

Executing the CMD manually -rtbufsize 150M -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1680x1050 -draw_mouse 1 -i desktop -c:v libx264 -r 30 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -crf 28 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart -y "output.mp4" works and create a video in the folder C:\Users\nguye\Documents\ShareX\Tools.

A restart fixed it completely and I could record videos and gifs.

According to a post on Reddit, the moov atom is placed at the end of the file (by default) and this error usually pops up if the recording was terminated abruptly for any number of reasons. there is a suggestion to add the -movflags faststart flag to your command, as this will put the moov atom at the start of the file, not the end, but this is done on a second pass, I am unsure how much this will help as the operation that is interrupting the recording is not defined anywhere

[NNTin]

I don't know how relevant it is. It fails writing the file already. That error might be related from reading an invalid file format.

[arhun]

I resolved this issue a long time ago. Thank you!

I have a similar problem and I can't solve it in any way((( After I press "Stop" when recording a video, it continues to be recorded for a while, and then this error appears:
