# Timecode Recorder Plugin

The timecode recorder plugin logs time codes to a text file in conjunction with creating an input recording file to assist people creating gameplay videos. The time code log file is only created when making an input recording. The time code log file has the same name as the input recording file with the extension .timecode appended. Use the record and input_directory options to create an input recording and specify the location for the output files.

By default, the plugin records a time code when you press the F12 key on the keyboard while not pressing either Shift or Alt key. You can change this setting in the options menu for the plugin (choose Plugin Options from the main menu during emulation, and then choose Timecode Recorder).

Settings for the plugin are stored in JSON format in the file plugin.cfg in the timecode folder inside your plugin data folder (see the homepath option).
