How-to guide: Recording Live Gameplay in RetroPie’s RetroArch Emulators Natively on the Raspberry Pi (and Twitch streaming)

retroday · 26 Dec 2016, 20:05

Great work on the guide, thank you very much! Using scale_factor on the cfg to double the resolution really ramps up the CPU usage to make it impossible! I found a way to make it work and failed to get a recording thus far though.

Raspberry Pi 3 has an integrated hardware encoder, dubbed h264_omx and to use it you need to compile ffmpeg with these added:

–enable-omx
–enable-omx-rpi
–enable-mmal

I compiled FFMPEG with these, but when I choose h264_omx as my encoder it results in an empty recording. What am I doing wrong?

Also, most encoders and formats do not work, which is really super weird.

By the way, if this works as intended, the hardware encoder can do live transcoded 720p livestreams or recordings with no sweat. I've seen a person use a raspberry pi 2 as a transcoding PC through nginx-rtmp to stream to Twitch.

Hi all,

I've managed to get gameplay recording working for PSX after following the great guides BUT I have hit a bit of a snag. Some PSX games record OK at first when you launch it so the intro, menus etc record OK, but as soon as you get in to the actual game the screen goes black and I can only hear sound. What have I done wrong?

I tested 3 PSX games:

Retropie 4.1
Retroarch 1.3.6

Alexi Lalas International Soccer [See video below]

Lone Soldier

Doom (worked OK with no issues ??)

These are both using my config.cfg file which is as follows:

format = matroska
threads = 3
vcodec = libx264rgb
video_preset = ultrafast
video_tune = animation
pix_fmt = bgr24
video_qp = 0
acodec = flac

Could it be an NTSC/PAL related problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

@RetroResolution , hi!

First of all, thank you for the rich tutorial! Besides I haven't accomplished to start the recordings, I think I will get there.

I am new to Retropie, but I could understand almost everything you told about this process.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 running Retropie (fresh 4.1 installation) . I Did not install over an existing Raspbian, but instead, I've burned a Retropie 4.1.
RetroArch version is 1.3.6.

I have succeeded the FFmpeg installation (used your script).

But, on the step:

"Rebuilding RetroArch to Enable FFmpeg Recording"

after following your instructions with the script:

#remove the config that disables ffmpeg on the RPI
sed -i "s/--disable-ffmpeg//" scriptmodules/emulators/retroarch.sh
#build new retroarch from source
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch
#put the file back how it was
git checkout scriptmodules/emulators/retroarch.sh

I 've got this:

I've tried to find the ffmpeg driver on settings menu ( I'm using Retroach 1.3.6)
but it still shows 'null'.

Well, I've read your new considerations about "OBTAIN AND BUILD SPECIFIC VERSION OF RETROARCH TO ENABLE FFMPEG RECORDING".

I repeated all command line procedures as suggested by you and in the end I've got to this:

What am I doing wrong? Sorry for the long post, but I believe this is a feedback to you, as new releases come always with issues!

Thank you!

I compiled FFMPEG with these, but when I choose h264_omx as my encoder it results in an empty recording. What am I doing wrong?

Does anything show up in your /dev/shm/runcommand.log logfile when you try to use h264_omx?

Hey all!

I just want to say that I made it! I have flawless videos recordings from SNES!

But, as a feedback, I will put something I realized after trying different things.

First, as I posted before, I was trying to follow all procedures as described by the rich tutorial written by @RetroResolution - Recording Live Gameplay in RetroPie’s RetroArch Emulators Natively on the Raspberry Pi .

I was using a fresh Retropie 4.1 installation. As I told on the previous post, I've failed to rebuild Retroarch.

So, I decided to install the last version of Raspbian Jessie Light (without Pixel).

Then, I first installed FFmpeg using the All in One Script ( thanks again, @RetroResolution!) and tested it, confirming it was working properly.

I have manually installed and configured Retropie and, after using the few steps first described in the tutorial:

"OBTAIN AND BUILD SPECIFIC VERSION OF RETROARCH TO ENABLE FFMPEG RECORDING".

I still could not succeed!!!

Well, I got really intrigued with this persistent issue: fail to apply pach when running retroarch.sh during the rebuilding procedure...

So, as a last try, I went to the little tutorial posted by @selsine (thanks for that: How To Record A GamePlay Video From A RetroPie) because you put something important there:

"And finally execute it, but NOT as root:

$ . /home/pi/tools/build-retroarch-with-ffmpeg.sh"

And suddenly, Retroarch is rebuilt!

Well, I don't know if it has something to do with the permissions (ownership) but it did run.

Now, I am just testing some configurations, but it seem to run really smooth to me!

To conclude:

I suspect it does not work using retropie image from the website. If you manually install, it works! Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

And, many thanks to you guys for the amazing information you share!

selsine · 29 Jan 2017, 15:18

@budegarower That's great. I'm pretty sure that you have to run it not as root. I think I remember running into the same issues when I was setting everything up.

got it recording but have no audio output to my tv the recording has audio though using hdmi

Zanoryt · 30 Mar 2017, 21:53

What do we need to do to make this come in standard release? I'd love to see this built in.

scar · 2 Apr 2017, 07:35

@selsine no, only the retroarch command is shown, e.g.:

pi@retropie:~ $ cat /dev/shm/runcommand.log
Parameters:

Hello everybody,
thanks for your fantastic guide @RetroResolution , I got it working with almost no problems.

However what I am experiencing with my Pi model 3 / 10,000kbit upload bandwidth (wlan though) is that my emulator stutters/lags slightly to badly in intervals of 20 minutes or so, and the stream was cut off completely after 2 hours. Cpu temperature/load and memory load were all good. At first I thought it might be related to me not using a real storage instead of the SD card but the swap file is always size 0 (using YARMan Web to check). I looked for some sort of logs but couldn't find anything relevant (runcommand.log has no errors). I already tried increasing the buffer size but that didn't do anything good.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be?

Btw I also found a -hwaccel option in ffmpeg which is disabled by default although there would be devices available. Would that be advisable? Couldn't figure out how to correctly use this though ("stream specifier"?)

edit: the following settings work for me:

video_bufsize = 4096k
video_minrate = 384k
video_maxrate = 384k

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

I am aware that it says libfdk_aac is said to be missing but I did follow the guide, rebooted and ran ldconfig as root.

I am aware that I was stupid and put the live code in there.... I since resetted it. For some reason I can't change what I wrote because AKISMET thinks I am spamming. Can't delete it because it keeps resetting my deletion timer.

Im trying to twitch with this guide: http://selsine.com/2016/10/17/how-to-live-stream-to-youtube-from-a-retropie/ but emulator run slow and very lag, turning the game unplayable. Anyone can run it smooth streaming via twitch?
