Plays.tv crashes Renpy

[DizzyKa]

Hey all,

This is my first post so I hope it got to the right place. I searched to try and make sure this hadn't been mentioned before so if it has, sorry!

There is a program called Plays.tv that is pretty popular amongst gamers that automatically records gameplay footage so that clips can be uploaded and shared on the internets. I think it installs to run on startup by default, and when launching the Renpy SDK to develop Plays.tv will attempt to record the game window, causing Renpy to crash and close - sometimes silently.

After realizing the cause I just close Plays.tv out in my taskbar when I open Renpy to work, but I thought I would mention it since it might be causing crashes for others.

Thanks!
