HLAE should have a proper log file.

[Shadoweee77]

HLAE should get a proper log file for trouble shooting. At every star up it should log stuff like:

1. Version of HLAE and Game
2. Devices connected as they can sometimes cause trouble
3. Method of recording ( FFMPEG, streams, etc )
4. Amount and type of errors.
5. Other stuff like - Was mirv_pgl used etc.

I urgently need this log. I don’t know why CS:GO will not respond as soon as I start recording the stream.

When I removed FFmpeg, it seemed to work fine.
So it seems to be a problem with FFmpeg, but I don’t know what caused the problem.

I completely wrote the cfg file according to the reference parameters on the Wiki.

It can be caused by some Anti-Virus software that blocks or alters stdin / stdout (standard input/output) between HLAE and ffmpeg.exe.

Not a fan of this feature to be honest.
If we do it, it must be off by default and completely optional.

Hi. Thank you for your suggestion. The implementation of this feature in a reasonable time-frame is currently not realistic for me. After considering that together with issue #896 I am closing this request as not planned for now, since it would block other things I would like to still get done before that. Sorry for the copy pasta.
