Jaksta Media Recorder 2022 Release

Jaksta Media Recorder 2022 has now been released


1.  New DVR functionality for recording from premium sites such as Netflix.

2.  New Digital audio recording functionality.  

3.  Improved Monitoring features


New DVR

JMR 7 used the Google Chrome browser.  This stopped working a few months back for alot of premium sites when they started to block the version from chrome we used.

JMR 2022 uses the Vivaldi browser.  Use it in the same was as you did previously.  Open the DVR browser and navigate to the site and video you want to record and once playing click the red record button to start recording.

DVR functionality is only available on Windows 10 and Windows 11. 


New Digital Audio Recording Method

JMR 7 used the Application audio recording method by default.  This uses a process called injection to attach to an application to capture its audio. Many web browsers now reject dll injection.  Injection also requires your computer to have secure boot switched off in your computers BIOS.  

The new Digital audio recording method is now selected by default.  It doesn't have any of the cfg issues described above.  

The Application method has been removed.


Improved Monitoring

1.  Monitors are now stored in a single database, replacing the flat file format used in JMR 7.  This should improve performance for those with a large numbers of monitors.

2.  You can now export and import monitors to/from Microsoft Excel format.  This should make batch editing monitors much easier.  

3.  You can now select and delete more than one monitor at a time.

4.  You can now configure a monitor to only check on certain days and between certain times.  See the new Schedule tab on the monitor.

5.  You can import your existing JMR 7 monitors, by exporting them from JMR 7 and then importing them in JMR 2022.  Change the File Type to "Old Export Files (*.dat)" in the import file dialog to see your JMR7 export file and import it.


Everything else works the same and hasn't changed from JMR7.  


JMR 7 and JMR 2022 can co exist on the same computer - there is no need to uninstall JMR 7.


Existing license holders -  your existing license will be imported from JMR7 in the background on the first run.


The latest beta has been tested with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Just to be ultra-clear.  These are not subtitles, but are open captions---are you sure that this doesn't make a difference?  By the way, I really appreciate how fast you're responding!

@jakster123: That is correct they are not part of the video but displayed by the browser over the video.

So I think you're saying that even if I can see the open captions in the Vivaldi browser before I hit record, they're no embedded?  See screenshot of Vivaldi just before I hit record.

@jakster123


For most sites, subtitles are a web page artefact and not embedded in the video and therefore are not captured (and cannot be) by the DVR capture method.


For sites that allow the extraction capture method, then if the site support subtitles capture (youtube for example), they can be captured as a separate file and muxed into the output file.  See Settings > Internet Downloads > Advanced >  Extractor Subtitles

I think the Vivaldi browser is an improvement---picture quality seems better!  However, the issue with captions is still there.  If I launch the Vivaldi browser, find the show, and set it to play+setting open captions, inside the Vivaldi browser I see the captions displayed as I would expect.  But when I playback the finished recording these open captions are missing.  They are embedded in the video (not a separate file), so they should appear on playback the same way they appear in the initial Vivaldi browser window.

https://d2nncct4cgzns7.cloudfront.net/release/jak8/JMR/2022.0.7.0/JMR-2022.0.7.0.exe


Changes.  

1.  Improved DVR shutdown

2.  Rework of Import/Export icons

3.  Rework of Monitoring UI sorting.



This is absolutely fantastic and works perfectly. Only thing I have found so far is that in the old version you could set the time to record for and then it would stop on it's own. That feature appears to be missing in release 2022. Is this something you might consider adding back in or perhaps is there another way for me to set a time to record for?
