Basically this plugin is for recording the client without the client having to install a program. So the plugin records what the screen should look like for the player. /cr start /cr stop /cr pause The plugin would then when someone does the /cr stop, it would give a link that you can download from the internet the video you record. It would be an op-only command. I know, quite impossible. It's just an idea.
Well since the 1.8 is out there is a new gamemode, Spectator mode, and this can let you see the other players screen, but it is quite impossible to record this screen, only if you have a screen recorder on your own pc
While it is possible, it would be a crazy amount of work. You either make an own renderer, or (easier) have a client running on the server (machine), let that one spectate the player, use java.awt.robot or similiar to record it and upload it somehow. But keep in mind: rendering a video takes time. So... good luck with finding someone, but... yeah
@arinerron This actually would be semi-possible. BUT I can already guarantee you that your Server would most likely be insuffcient for this purpose. And it is a hell lot of work for the developer to do this. And I did not mean to pop your Bubble but really, noone would put this effort in such a Plugin when it would be a thousand times easier to just use a recording Software. In fact I actually made my own a few years ago. If I would fix the Audio-Video-Async Issue I would publish it. But I guess that would never be happening. Just look for a recording Software on the Internet, there are a lot of free ones available.
Yeah, this is just an idea, I don't actually need it. For those of you who are confused, what I mean is that the server takes the data of where you are and where you're looking, and then uses some algorithm or something to render what it would look like for the client and turn those into a video. It's just an idea, I don't need it!
@arinerron OBS (Open broadcast software) is a nice free screen recorder with built in broadcasting abilities to stream to twitch and such. I doubt anyone would put effort into a plugin like this unless they were getting paid, and even so, it would take a while to code.
Again, I'm not looking for a screen recording software, I'm looking for a plugin that renders to a video file what the client should be seeing. This is an idea, I'm not paying anyone, it's just for if someone's super good at plugins, they should try coding this, they'd have a good reputation. Or if someone's bored, here's an idea!
@arinerron Then it would probably be better to let them enable twitch streaming instead. Rendering costs time and a lot of CPU + RAM, your server will high likely start showing errors. Not to mention that writing a rendering program isn't easy, especially server side.
