STOCKHOLM GHOST Posted December 4, 2015 Report Posted December 4, 2015 1. Visit plays.tv internet site and download the client by following the download link at the top right of the page. 2. While downloading, create an account. 3. Once the setup process is completed; run the plays.tv client. It will ask your credentials. 4. Now you are at the main screen. - The left coloumn shows the sessions and the videos that you've recorded while playing. - The right side of the window is for watching the recorded videos, for editing and uploading processes. 5. At first, lets make some adjustments. Click on "preferences" button. General Tab: - My session video (On/Off): If you want the plays.tv client to record your entire game session, then click ON. But if you want to record just the moments you desire, then prefer OFF. - Auto-manage space: Indicates that how much space does the plays.tv client use for video recordings. - Video Capture (On/Off): If this one is set as "ON", then you can record the moments you desire by pressing Ctrl+F3. - Highlight lenght: Indicates the lenght of video when you press Ctrl+F3. (I'm using 90 seconds, because, you know sometimes a troll can mess with you more than a minute or sometimes you need some time to park your truck off the road.) - Video quality presets: As its written, indicates the quality of the video. (I preffer Medium, because i think its enough for an admin to see the details and you can decrease the uploading time by chosing Medium.) - Video resolution: 720p is enough - Frame rate: 30 fps is enough - Bitrate: You can choose this one by your uploading speed. In-Game Tab: - Enable game sounds: 100% - Enable microphone: (For myself, i set it off. You know, i don't want the admins to listen my "WTF?!%&$#!" screams ><) 6. Recording the evidence video. Lets say that a troll overtook and bumped you... Just press Ctrl+F3. You'll see "saving last 90 seconds" warning at the very top left of your screen. This means, your evidence video is recorded succesfully! (Don't forget to take the player's Steam64 ID by entering /pinfo command to the chat screen.) 7. Return to plays.tv client. You can find your evidence video under the related gaming session headline. Just click once on it. The video will be shown at the right window now. 8. Click "create a clip" button under the video. Now, your video is shown with a yellow square around. You can edit your video now. I'm cutting out the unnecessary parts of the video in order to make the admins' job easier. 9. Once you complete editing your video, click "Save to Plays.tv" button. A window will open, just write something inside and click ok. 10. As soon as the uploading process ends, you'll see "copy link to clipboard" button. This copies the link of your uploaded video to the clipboard. (I'm filling the report form while the uploading process runs, and paste the video link at the end.) 11. Go to "ets2mp.com"; login, then click Manage/Create a report... Fill the form and send. Thats all folks! TIPS: - As the Steam64 ID is too long, and some of the players' nick names are written in different alphabet, i generally copy-paste the needed information from the ETS2MP log files. You can find the log file at C:\Users\UserName\Documents\ETS2MP\logs. Sort the list by date, open the text file named "chat_blabla" and search for the word "steam" by using Ctrl+F. Then, just copy-paste the infos to the report form. 1
Tandre Posted December 4, 2015 Report Posted December 4, 2015 Plays.tv doesn't support the best card at the market right now - GTX 470!
Zyder Posted December 5, 2015 Report Posted December 5, 2015 Nice guide. will use it in the future! Thank you 1 High End Transport, Driver | WoTRDB, Support and Translator | Freelance Virtual Photographer Excellence In Motion
TheSnak Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 That's cool but Nvidia Shadowplay is easier and faster if your graphics card is supported by it.
SMURFY. Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 This is a good program to use, I have used it for a few months now with no problems, I recommend it.
[LKW Tr.] Elliot [CEO] Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 That's cool but Nvidia Shadowplay is easier and faster if your graphics card is supported by it. I agree (since I only have experience with ShadowPlay and not with plays.tv), but you still have to upload your footage to YouTube and with Plays.tv you don't.
Digital Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Great guide, I can see a lot of people benefiting from it. I personally use ShadowPlay because my GPU supports it.
Puncake Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I agree (since I only have experience with ShadowPlay and not with plays.tv), but you still have to upload your footage to YouTube and with Plays.tv you don't. Yeah thats the bad thing, uploading to youtube can take ages, However shadowplay is great to use if your GPU supports it as you dont lose that much FPS (if any)
darkneon2002 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 thank you for your guide, it helped me decide wich recording software to use and this one seems most fit and easy Born to be wild in 1982 | Does not accept random Steam friend requests
John_24 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 What if you do not have the best PC? For instance, your PC runs the game well but if you use a recording program like XSPLIT, it ruins your gameplay. Trucking in multiplayer and helping others where I can. In game rules.
jukeboxknox Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 I run recording from Plays.tv on my laptop and i dont have any gameply issues. My laptop isnt a top line with a good graphics card either. You could try them out and see what give you the best results. Most of the paid ones have free trials, but for my casual play and quick pickup plays.tv is just what i need. I am here to help, I hope I helped in some sort of way.

Kami102 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Posted April 23, 2016 The way I see it, Plays.tv is for AMD Cards (Plays.tv is integrated within the Raptr AMD Gaming evolved app) and is the AMD version of NVIDIA's Shadowplay. That's not to say you CAN'T use Plays.tv on an NVIDIA card, just most people would rather use Shadowplay if their card supports it. Both programs are awesome
Shovali Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 i use this all time for my reprots
Mircea97 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 need help with play.tv .. i get error 1431, i played a free game for testing and works, only ETS2 dosen't work .. why??? SAY STOP TO RACISM !!!! Romanian people are people just like you !
weezy Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 ^Error 1431 has to do with something preventing Plays.tv from properly hooking into the game. This could be anti-cheat software that doesn't recognize us, or even cases where another program hooks in and prevents us from hooking. Turn your Antivir off and start Playstv as Administrator. ღ ɢᴇʀᴍᴀɴ ᴇɴɢɪɴᴇᴇʀɪɴɢ ღ
