This tool automatically start a recording whenever someone is on your server. It makes sure to stop the recording before the level is being changed. CounterStrike 2 does currently crash if the HLTV recording is not stopped before the map is changed regardless of what caused a map change. This tool will make sure to stop the recording first and afterwards change the map.
- check server state on plugin hot-reload
- enables the HLTV before starting to record
- stops recording when last player left the server
- starts recording when first player joins the server
- disables transmit of HLTV entity to players to avoid one possible way to detect recording
- Download and extract the latest release from the GitHub releases page.
- Move the "DemoRecorder" folder to the
/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/directory. - Restart the server.
Updating is even easier: simply overwrite all plugin files and they will be reloaded automatically. To automate updates please use our CS2 Update Manager.

An experimental feature to not send the HLTV entity to players to avoid detection whether a demo is being recorded right now. Does not complete hide the fact that a SourceTV is currently active but may helps to avoid detection of whether we currently record or not.
Change the name of the SourceTV. Simply changes "tv_name".
