I see multiple recordings spawning as well on a Windows system on the test branch. I noticed it was very periodic, happening every 8 or so loops, so I figured it must be related to a static time definition. There are only two such lines that compare time like this, and only one that is followed by a call to start a recording.

The part in camsoda.py that tries to start a new recording if a recording has not been updated in 300 seconds (5 minutes) based on file modification time (st_mtime) seems to not work as expected on a Windows platform. You can just replace line 156 (RecordingThread(model_data, settings, r).start()) with "pass" and it will stop spawning unneeded multiple recordings. You could also print out something to console to see how this call always tests true after a little while after the recording has started. I'll see if I can find exactly why this is doing this, and find a way to get it to work on a Windows platform.

Sort of funny, this can really snowball if you either are recording lots of models or have left the script going for a while. Good way to get an IP ban.
