CS2 Replays

The Replays module generates clips that can be displayed between rounds or at the end of a game. Please keep in mind that you need OBS or vMix for proper Replays configuration.

Requirements:

  • Professional Plan, or Enterprise Plan with at least 2 seats
  • Two PCs in the same network, with synchronized system clocks
  • LHM installed on both PCs
  • Access to 2 CSTV servers. One should be ~7s delayed relative to the other
  • OBS / vMix
warning

Make sure the system clock on both devices shows exactly the same time down to a second. LHM Replays tab reports Clock diff, and if it's large, it's the best to synchronize the clocks in the operating systems and reconnect the computers. You can synchronize the time in Time & Language > Date & Time settings tab. Clock diff warning

warning

LHM might ask you about letting access to the network for lhm_ndi_finder.exe and lhm_replay_feed.exe. Allow access for both.

warning

If you can't see appropriate NDI source, make sure vMixDesktopCapture is running on the delayed PC, both computers are on the same local networks and there isn't any firewall running that could restrict the access.

warning

You need to have audio on your delayed PC unmuted for LHM Replays to work correctly and prepare clips.

LHM Replays module has two main modes: vMix Instant Replay and LHM Replay Feed (Beta)

Replays tab overview

vMix Instant Replay (vMix only)​

When using this option, LHM uses vMix's Instant Replay option to record kills and replay them, without creating a separate video stream.

Delayed PC​

  1. Download: https://cdn.vmix.com/download/vMixDesktopCaptureNDI.zip, extract it (ex to Desktop) and run vMixDesktopCapture.exe
  2. Start LHM.
  3. Connect to the delayed CSTV
  4. (Optionally) Open Replay HUD (ex CS2 Ultra HUD in Replay Mode)

Main PC​

  1. Open vMix

  2. Add NDI Source, which corresponds to the view from the Delayed PC

  3. Add Instant Replay Source

  4. Start LHM

  5. Go to Replays tab

  6. See if you can find Delayed PC in the dropdown in the Computer ID section. If not, find the Computer ID from the Delayed PC, put it in here, and click Connect

  7. On the Delayed PC there should appear permission modal. Click Accept

  8. Back on the Main PC, go to vMix -> Settings -> Web Controller and copy the full URL

  9. In the LHM Replays tab, put that URL in the Mixer section and click Setup.

  10. LHM will show step by step configuration instruction of the vMix.

Once the game starts, LHM should automatically clip and play replays using vMix Instant Replay.

Replay Feed (OBS, vMix, others...)​

When using this option, LHM Replay Feed creates a new NDI stream, first recording all the kills itself, before playing it through the stream. With OBS and vMix, LHM then will, on its own, automatically switch scenes to the replay ones at the end of a round, before returning to the previous one.

Replays settings in LHM​

Priority​

You can enable or disable and reorder with drag and drop these priority rules:

  • Multikills
  • Headshots
  • Teamkills

Based on the rules, LHM will be prioritizing different clips to replay.

Safeband​

You can set up how much time before a kill and after should LHM record, to make sure it'll be able to capture the moment in case of a delay between the computers.

Save Clips​

This option tells LHM to keep generated replay clips instead of deleting them after use. This option is available only for vMix Instant Replay.

Delay config​

Delay config defines how delayed the replay/delayed observer is compared to the main observer in configuration.
