    I'm using Unity 2021.3.21f1, Recorder version is 3.0.3.

    I have a script that is supposed to automatically start a recording with RecorderWindow.StartRecording. But I get some errors:

    When I start a recording by pressing the according button in the editor tab, it works as expected. So the issue only occurs when trying to start the recording programmatically.

    I get the RecorderWindow in the Start function and store it in a variable rw. Then in Update, after preparations have been triggered with a button press I check for a ready state; once reached, I call rw.StartRecording(). This is when the error occurs.

    Hi KayH,

    Would you mind sharing your RecorderWindow settings and the script you are using to start the recording? I am having some trouble reproducing the issue.

    Thanks for taking the time to try to reproduce the problem. Turns out I was starting the recording repeatedly because of a missing check for a bool.
