Off Topic ctbrec ctbrecorder thread

[oliver21a]

Hi, I've been using ctbrec for around 2-3yrs. Previously on a Windows 10 system and had no real problems with the program, more so that my computer was crap. I now have a Windows 11 system and have been using ctbrec on it for around 6 months. Until a couple of days ago. Now when I double-click the .exe file I get a Windows message saying ""Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." It gives me two options: 'Run anyway' or 'Don't Run'. Naturally, I tried 'Run anyway'. What happens is, the ctbrec logo (red box) appears, stays on screen for about 5 seconds, then disappears. The program doesn't start up. After, when I double-click the .exe, the Windows message doesn't appear. But, again, the logo (red box) appears, goes and the program doesn't start. I have the latest version of ctbrec. I've done virus/malware scans and I have no problems there. I've restarted the computer. Nothing helps. In all the time I've used ctbrec I've never seen the "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." I've read something about security certificates. How ctbrec probably doesn't have a sufficient certificate, so Windows is blocking it. But, surely that would affect all people who use Windows and ctbrec, no? Can anyone offer some help? It'd be much appreciated.

After using the program successfully for almost a month, sometimes even with up to 5 streams recorded concurrently, I've had a problem with recording consistently during the past week. Now recordings stop without explanation (checkmark under "recording" column disappears, then reappears), even sometimes when only one stream is being recorded and I'm doing nothing else with the computer. Other times the recording checkmark remains for hours but I find that the recording saved is only 10 or 15 minutes instead of hours. The file creation and last modified timestamps show what "should have" been recorded, but the .ts is very small. I tried the recommendations above (deleting the cache and contents of the recordings folder) but that hasn't solved the problem. The logging tab in the program shows many segment errors and sometimes errors retrieving the playlist. What could cause that?

Does anyone know if there is a way to record private shows (your own)? If I login with my details on ctbrec and start a private show on xxxx*, will I be able to capture that show?

in amateurtv this program does not work. the reason is that the site has encoded its broadcasts.

ctbrec keeps crashing and frezzing on my end, there has been no updates for ages, i guess its dead and dieing.

Hi, I am currently using the 5.3.0 version of ctbrec. I noticed that the app fail to record the first part(even the full stream if there are no pauses and interruptions) of xxx and bongacams show (no matter how long it is). The file shows up in the right folder but I cannot open or watch it. There is something I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance
