Writing to .txt seems to get cutoff

[Ph-ADD]

First of all, thanks for the really awesome plugin. I've only just found it a few weeks ago and have been toying around with it as a way to generate notes for meetings. Currently I have it set so that both my mic and audio output write the captions to a .txt file (I admit it is probably ill-conceived to have two LocalVocal processes writing to the same file simultaneously). However, it does seem to work for a while. Then the output just seems to stop at some point during the call.

I'm hoping for some help investigating what might be causing this.

• is it just that I'm having two processes write to the same file?
• should I be using a different output format?
• is there some hard limit on number of lines or characters written?
• are there some settings I should be tweaking?

Happy to provide whatever information might be useful.

@Ph-ADD can you get the OBS logs from a session where this problem has occurred?

@royshil I've attached an OBS log from this morning.

2024-09-10 07-33-51.txt

The last line of the file suggests the issue has to do with buffering:

08:51:09.429: Source Audio Output Capture audio is lagging (over by 474669.54 ms) at max audio buffering. Restarting source audio.

This timestamp does match the last modified time for the audio transcript file.

Update: If I leave OBS running, it does seem to start clearing the buffer and writing out to the file. Maybe this indicates I've got this setup poorly and some better settings would avoid this?
