Automatic Screenshots Not Working

<< < (2/2)

bs909:
Yes, it happens every time I try to use automatic screenshots.  It always leave FFmpeg running and never creates screenshots that appear in PVD.  It just seems that I click "automatically create screenshots", FFmpeg starts up, and after a few seconds uses 0% cpu, and then nothing.  If I let it run it will never do anything beyond sitting there.   I then have to stop the FFmpeg and viddb process.  Any ideas what could be causing this?  Is this perhaps a bug in PVD?

bs909:
I just wanted to give an update.

I haven't used PVD for some time due to the automatic screenshot maker not working (and haven't used my pc much at all).  About a week or so ago I ran PVD again, downloaded a bunch of automatic updates for it and the automatic screenshot maker has began working again for me.  I don't know what fixed it but I haven't done any changes since it stopped working before.  Perhaps it was something in the updates.

The program hasn't changed. So this will remain a mystery, or...it will happen again. ;)

I've found this to be an irregular problem that is annoyingly consistent only in that it will happen periodically. You just never know when it will happen. Best thing I've found to do is try killing the ffmpeg process in task manager while pvd is still running. After you do that, it shouldn't kill it but ffmpeg should suddenly spike with its cpu usage and work after that. So far that's the only thing I've found which works to fix this problem.
