I just installed mqtt-recorder by running pip install mqtt-recorder. The output was:

When I try to record, I get an exception:

TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'callback_api_version'

It looks like these are related to the paho-mqtt client that mqtt-recorder uses, but I'm not sure what to do with those errors.

I was able to get past this error by running pip install 'paho-mqtt<2.0.0' to install an older version of paho-mqtt, based on [this thread](pip install 'paho-mqtt<2.0.0'). Not sure if it's working correctly though.

I got the same error.

I fixed it by changing line 34 in recorder.py from self.__client = mqtt.Client(client_id=client_id) to self.__client = mqtt.Client(mqtt.CallbackAPIVersion.VERSION1, client_id=client_id)
