"There is nothing to record. Play some more and try again"

I am having the same problem. I have been making youtube videos using this screen recorder and now it is not working. please help.

Hi there, I am also having this problem and I think I know what the problem is, however I cannot find a way to fix it.

If your problem is different to mine, you could try clearing your temporary files in Windows. This has worked for some people but not for me. You can find out how to do it online if you don't already know.

The problem I have got is that the Game DVR wants to save clips into C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos\Captures.

BUT, when I 'Open Folder' in the Xbox App Settings, it goes to This PC\Videos\Captures.

I think it's denying me/us of recording because it wants to record in one location but is forced to try and record in the other, but it won't allow it.

Sorry, ignore what I said about the video locations thing, Windows shows them as different locations but they are the same location, my bad.

still nothing huh? the app is supposedly updated and still gives this error. Makes me think an achievement has to be gotten or something for it to record like whatever im recording isnt good enough for it. Make me wanna slap the programmer that made it.

Marusame, please submit feedback regarding this problem through the beta app.  I will route your feedback directly to the individuals working on this feature.

I am now having the same problem I was hoping there is an answer to this can someone please let me know

Hi Josh, What version of the app are you using?  If your able to reproduce this issue, and your experiencing this issue with Xbox App (Beta) too, please use the "report a problem". This will provide helpful data for the developers to investigate. In the mean-time I will highlight this in our reports to the developers to review.  

Thanks for reporting,

Best

sigh, been using this app for a month, now im getting the same stupid message too....shame no one has figured out why it does this..... oh well.... guess its broken for me too
