Random / Duplicated Output

[Old-Chum]

I started using InfoWriter for recordings relatively recently. I have run into an issue where it will sometimes work as intended for some recordings, but other times it will fill the file with junk markers.

It seems to fail in two distinct ways. The first is that it will sometimes write markers markers that point to seemingly random and extremely large time stamps. The second way is that it will sometimes write many markers one after another without me having pressed any of my hotkeys.

I have not been able to find a way to reproduce this. It seems to happen randomly but quite often. It happens so often that I can't rely on the program to actually record accurate markers.

Here are the settings I am using: Output format is CSV Format is '%d:%02d:%02d' Sync with video file name and path is on The only hotkey that I use has a blank text option

Here is an example of a file which has both the random markers and the repeated markers. InfoWriter Example.csv

The large time stamps could be a problem in the plugin. But you will probably need to find out which hotkey is producing the timestamps, OBS for some reason will be pushing those events to the plugin. You might need to figure out if there's not a macro or special program running on your pc that might be artifically producing those hotkeys. (worst-case scenario, your keyboard is broken and producing those shortcuts without you noticing)

I have checked for processes that may be producing these inputs but I haven't found anything that might. It also sometimes happens and sometimes does not even when I have the same exact processes running on my machine.

I haven't noticed any other malfunctioning with my keyboard, and my hotkey is on a key that I very rarely used before (Num5).

Considering both issues seem to coincide I don't think it's unlikely that they both have the same cause.
