LPRT is an open-source windows-only recording, editing & distribution tool or lets plays. This tool includes features like filemanagement to make your life as a lets player much easier.
- Your recordings cannot mix up anymore - You dont need to rename / handle your recordings in general. LPRT saves the paths for further editing & distribution.
- Warns you before the maximum length is exceeded and alerts you if it is exceeded.
- Automated Thumbnail Generation - You can generate Thumbnails in batch.
- Audio Extraction - Tired of Unbalanced audio volume? Thats a thing of the past.
- Audio Fix - Automated Audio Effect applying e.g. Highpass, Lowpass & Loudness Normalization.
- Audacity Integration - To edit your audio further you can use Audacity & reimport the audio back into LPRT.(Noise Reduction)
- Ultra fast Video rendering.

- A computer that can play the games you are recording. Can work on slower system. Recommended specs: A non-potato GPU & at least 16 GB RAM
- Third Party Software
- OBS Studio
- Audacity - 3.0.0
- FFMPEG for Audacity
- FFMPEG - (downloads automatically)
- libpng16-16.dll - (unpacks automatically)

FFMPEG & libpng16-16.dll downloading / installing automatically.
Important
All of the programs are needed to make LPRT fully function!
You need this libraries & the programs here too.
The most essential features are implemented right now. A bug here and there may appear.(gotta catch them all🦍) You can get the current state here
Caution
A few bugs / User error can lead to data loss(Only your lets plays!). BE CAREFUL! For this case. You can backup your videos etc. anytime by using the FileManager!
If you are interested in LPRT, its programming, artworks, testing or something like that, you're welcome to participate in the development of LPRT.
Information about what you can do and be found in the wiki
You have an idea or suggestions? Make sure to file an issue & wait for replies! Maybe there are different ideas, improvements, or hints or maybe your feature is not welcome / needed at the moment.
run compile.bat from the ./tools directory.
You must change the paths for images etc. in the spec file yourself.
The letsplay table in lprt_data.db will become another row: jitle
The full title will be (default)
{{ %episode_title% }} | {{ %letsplay_name% }} {{ %letsplay_emoji% }} #{{ %episode_number% }}The result will be e.g.:
something happened|valheim😁#123
something happened | valheim 😁 #123
This upgrade results in a faster, less error-prone, and easier way to retrieve video titles.

A function will be added that copies the desired text with a single click.
A workflow will be added that sets the upload_at value for all selected episodes. This value will be shown in view.html. Faster & less error-prone
For more info #380 #381
This option is for clearing the output folder before the automation.
Translation will be added with v1.1
Note
For now only German & English are supported!
Help windows will be added for each automation.
All unnecessary setting pop-ups will be removed and replaced by the main window settings.
To further streamline this step, Audacity will be removed from the workflow and replaced by SOX.
It is handier, causes fewer problems, and, most importantly, is automatable. Another key aspect is the user experience; downloading Audacity and A-FFMPEG is pina 🤬
This will be the last feature of the v2.0 update.

Create your own modules for workflows in YAML
Currently LPRT is working with hardcoded workflows in python.
The improvement here is: you can optimize & individualize your own workflows.
Workflows will be downloadable with the LPRT API.
