Xbox App Game DVR, "Nothing to record. Play some more and try again."

Earlier today I tried to stream and record my Xbox One gameplay using the Xbox app. After starting the stream I pulled up the game menu, then tried to record. At about ten seconds the recording stopped and gave me the message, "Nothing to record. Play some
more and try again." I tried using the Xbox app beta with no avail. I have also submitted feedback on the Xbox app beta to hopefully fix this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Game DVR: "There's nothing to record. Play some more and try again."

I started getting this error about a week ago. Before the error, I was able to record just fine. Now I can't record anything. I'll keep searching but it looks like Game DVR is broken for now.

 

Game DVR: "There's nothing to record. Play some more and try again."

Are you guys still having this problem? Because I am. If you find a solution pls share! Really disappointed in this feature, once worked great then when I really need it absolutely nothing.

I've used DVR before, at least 10 to 20 times, today I found out I was having the same problem as the two posters above my post.

PLEASE FIX SOON!

Thank you, Bestlano, for your response. However, these solutions did not solve my issue. I can take clips and screenshots on my Xbox One, but when using the Xbox app for Windows 10 I cannot do either. When I tried this time I still got the message, "Nothing
to record. Play some more and try again." I have tried with six different games with no succession. Therefore, I look to the developers to fix this app breaking bug. So, If you could please keep me informed about the developers investigation if you can. I
really did love recording ten to fifteen minute videos with ease on this app. I might have to switch to a capture card or another option if this isn't fixed.

 

Hi RethSose1, Thanks for trying the tips and sorry to hear it did not help. We will let you know if we hear back form the developers.

Thanks for the feedback,

Hi All, the developers need more data, can you please try reproducing this issue again and then file a bug via Windows Feedback (Feedback Hub, category=Apps & Games, subcategory=Game DVR. ).
