I would really like this installed

SourceTV does take up a player slot, which is the reason skial doesn't have replays enabled (according to Bottiger). I do think the spectate plugin sounds very handy and I would like to see that implemented, if possible.

There's a memory leak in SourceTV that has been around for years that Valve refuses to fix. It would force us to reboot every 12 hours.

Any downsides to "simple spectate plugin"?

What would be the point of that? You can do that already.

We can already view demos from different POVs and camera angles?

Mmm, good point.

I think it's less useful at that point though, having something that's been recording and can be accessed around the time of something previously reported would be much more powerful.

I thought the memory leak was only in relation to tv_autorecord being set to 1. If we do it manually then I don't think it would be an issue

EDIT: Also, I think this is a linux only issue. Although that probably wont help the situation.

The servers are linux.

Bumping this old thread because I was going to suggest the same plugin, somehow this got turned into a sourceTV discussion. Simple Spectate seems like it would make spectating potential hackers so much easier.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Simple Spectate is not SourceTV. Read the actual plugin and the comments before posting something.


As for this plugin, it is pretty old and now has a lot of bugs because i think the owner abandoned it. Because of this, it has been moved to unapproved on the plguins website. So i am declining,.
