During my load test of 8 cameras on my little mobile setup around hour 7 my disk ran out of space when recording and naturally the error stating i had ran out of disk space popped up. When i clicked okay it immediately pooped up again. The recording button still being red it seemed it still wants to try and record but since there was no space the error popped up again, and again.... It pops up so fast that i can't click on anything else since that form has the main focus of the parent thread. I then moved the error box close to the recording button so i could click close and then stop recording with no success. I even used the quick keys but soon realized i was in a endless loop of write errors forcing me to terminate the process and losing 7 hours of recording and terminating my NDI streams and my stream to my test servers.

This was just a load test so i didn't really care but wanted to report the issue for a few reasons.

1. The only way for me to stop the endless loop was to terminate the process thus making the 7 hours already recorded lost (sure i could open it up with a hex editor and inject the proper EOF but i'm thinking consumer here) when it should of properly stopped the recording thus not putting me in an endless loop of error msg boxes.

2. If the main purpose for the session was to stream or relay a NDI this would of been interrupted since i had to terminate the application when it should of just stopped recording. vMix logs and app was on a different drive with plenty of space so it seems it should of had no problem to continue working and just stopped the recording.


Obviously this isn't critical but it could have been and it seems like an easy fix. Perhaps a setting to stop recording when X% of disk space is left so everything else can continue to work and the recordings stop properly making them still valuable. Or at the very lease just stop the recording so i'm not in a endless loop.


Note: I couldn't test to see if i could remove a file from the disk so the app would continue recording so i could properly close it because it was just a empty 512GB SSD card so there was nothing on there to delete or i would of tried that.


Anyway just thought i would pass it on! Keep up the good work
