Hi to everyone, I installed "VideoRecorder.tcx", it is in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\Bin\Extensions\ScriptExtensions". Before intalling the extension I installed VLC 3.0.18. When I start recording a test this message appears:
"The video recorder uses the recording functionality of the VLC framework. Download the recorder from the following website and install it:
How can I procede to make this extension usable?
In the documentation for the VideoRecorder extension, these two points are mentioned. Are you starting and stopping the recorder from inside your test?

Hi Masha,
I tried starting recording, launching an application and then stopping the recording but it does not work. If I try on my personal computer it works. Could it be a configuration of the pc?
Yes it could be. I would try running VLC on the test computer manually and see if it even works as a standalone.
I followed the instruction given on GitHub, and I'm able to record a clip of the automation. If VLC is uninstalled, then the following message is shown "Unable to start video recording. The VLC recorder is not installed.". Ensure you have VLC installed, run the build.bat file, and ensure you have appropriate permissions.
I did the same instructions on my personal pc and on the dedicated pc. In my pc it works while in the other it does not. I'm asking if there are other configurations that have to be setted
On the dedicated pc, will the test run in TestComplete without the VLC part?
What's the difference between your PC and the other PC? Are there any differences?
It is what I'm asking myself. I don't understand what could be. Because we have another dedicated pc, for another software, and in this one the recording works correctly.
To test the recording using VLC, Click Media -> Open Capture Devices…
Change capture mode to Desktop and desired framerate to 30fps
Expand Play and select Convert. Change the video profile and provide a filename
Press Start, and perform some actions on your desktop for about 30 seconds, then click the stop button in VLC.
Has anything been recorded?
