PlayClaw Release build #3700
This new version gives updated plugins for the new Teamspeak 3 client and additional changes.

New plugins for Teamspeak 3 client with API 21
VFW speed of encoding is increased
Corrected pure encoder performance test
Added ability to write separate webcam file if webcam overlay is not visible (but it must not be disabled)
Fixed wrong separate webcam file writing when webcam overlay is turned off
Fixed error capturing audio on some systems with Realtek audio hardware when driver reports bad configuration
Here is an additional information about how to setup teamspeak plugins. We know three possible plugins locations where TS3 client can find its plugins. Unfortunately, we don't know which are more important.

Old style - plugins subfolder in main TS3 client folder
New style - %APPDATA%TS3Clientplugins folder (by default it is C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingTS3Clientplugins, where username is your windows login name)
Additional way - configplugins subfolder in main TS3 client folder
Copy both plugins into one of these folders (or better into all these folders), then run Teamspeak 3 and check add-ons settings. You can find plugins in tools subfolder of main PlayClaw folder.

Version 4.0

What's new, interesting, etc?
1. Profiles (linked to game processes names). By default new process (unknown to PlayClaw) will be linked to default profile!
2. Extended audio conversion settings. Especially multi-channel to stereo rip
3. An infinine number of audio sources... Of course, it is a joke. Max - 16 sources
4. Virtual webcam (for broadcasters). You have an option to record target: webcam, file or webcam & file. Only hardcore license will allow to produce virtual webcam video without watermark. Hint: start "record" before your webcam software will start to use our virtual webcam or there will be frame size artefacts.
5. You can define almost any final frame size.
6. 3rd party overlay plugins. If you or your friend (or someone else) have knowledge of windows programming, then you're able to create simple text overlay plugin for PlayClaw. We will provide SDK and sample plugin ("Timer" in this build) sources a bit later. Who want mumble overlays? Take a note
7. Voip avatars. This feature is like voice overlay but it shows images instead of nicknames (texts). You can define png image (avatar) to any nickname and PlayClaw will render it over game screen when he will speak.
8. And of course, a lots of plans to increase capture speed and extend overlays features. Even in playclaw 4
9. PlayClaw 3/4 plugins for teamspeak 3 are not compatible. I mean, they're different. The latest API 19 is supported.
