Pelaa 1.0.4

Released: 19 July 2026 (build 28)

The biggest release since 1.0: Pelaa now records live games — from a capture device or a network stream — so you tag the game as it happens and walk away with footage, tags, and reports in one project. Alongside it: a full report builder, and your tags now travel in and out as XML and CSV.

Live game capture

Plug a camera or HDMI capture box into your Mac and press record. The game records into your project while you tag it live.

• Tag while it records. The full tag window works during capture — buttons, toggles, links, lag times. Tags land on the Track in real time, aligned to the game clock.
• Instant replay, game still rolling. Scrub back to any moment while the recording continues, then click LIVE (or ⌘⌥L) to snap back to now.
• Survives cable trouble. If the video source dies mid-game — cable pulled, box power-cycled — Pelaa keeps recording (black picture, running clock), waits for the same device, and resumes the moment it returns. One continuous file, tags never lose their place on the game clock.
• Pause, resume, and stop from the app or the menu bar; pausing folds the break out of the footage.
• Project-first flow. Recording starts by naming the game; the file lands beside the project, never as a loose download.

Supported hardware: live capture has been tested with the AJA U-TAP HDMI (USB 3.0 HDMI capture device) and Mac built-in cameras. Other UVC capture devices that show up as cameras in macOS may work, but are untested — if you use a different box, test a full-length recording before relying on it for a game. For the U-TAP, we recommend updating to AJA firmware v1.5.7 or later.

Live stream recording

Paste a live stream URL (HLS, the common .m3u8 kind) instead of plugging in hardware. Pelaa records the stream into your project with the same live workflow: tag in real time, replay while it records, go live, pause, stop — identical to a camera capture.

• Stream recordings are video-only: you hear the stream's sound live while recording, but the saved footage is silent (a macOS limitation for stream audio).
• If the stream drops, Pelaa records black, keeps the clock running, and reconnects automatically when the stream returns.

Record only what you have the right to record. The live capture and stream recording features are for content you own or are authorised to record — your own team's games, a feed your club operates, or streams whose owner has given you permission or published them under a licence that allows recording. Do not use Pelaa to record broadcasts, subscription services, or any stream protected by copyright without the rights holder's permission. You are responsible for the content you capture — see our Terms of Service.

Reports

A report builder lives in the Track bar. Build count and time tables from your tags, and read the numbers during the game — reports update live while you tag.

• Build tables like a spreadsheet. Drag tag and label pills onto a grid; rows and columns can be tags, labels, or your own named lines. Multiple tables per sheet, drag to rearrange, copy rows/columns/tables with ⌘C/⌘V, undo everything.
• Count or time, per line. Any row or column can show occurrences or accumulated time; a Total pill sums whatever its line shows.
• Click a number, see the moments. Selecting a cell highlights exactly those tags on the Track.
• Sort in view mode without touching the report's structure; totals stay pinned.
• Take the numbers with you — copy tables straight into Excel or Numbers, or export the report as CSV, PDF, or PNG.

Works with your other analysis tools

• XML tag files import and export everywhere tags live — bring a colleague's tagged game in, or hand your tags onward.
• CSV tag files import too, including damaged files (Pelaa salvages what's readable).
• Tag CSV export for your own spreadsheets and tools.
• Imported rows group by color family and keep a stable order.

Fixes & polish

• Row recolor from the Track: right-click a row label, recolor one or many rows at once.
• Prepopulate Rows works in normal tagging too — every template button gets its Track row up front.
• New files follow one naming scheme: YYYY.MM.DD_capture, _stream, _project…
• Paste (⌘V) works reliably in the capture and license dialogs.
• Playback speed menu, multi-label picker, and the July build-22/23 improvements are all included.

Updated 19 July (build 28)

• iPhone as the camera works properly: correct picture proportions in the recording, and the phone stays available for the next capture without restarting Pelaa.
• Instant replay stays scrubbable across brief signal drops; the gap is folded out of the footage, so the file plays clean.
• More recording quality choices on capture devices, including 720p at 60 fps.
• Report cells take a dropped pill anywhere: drop onto a Total line to replace it, or onto any cell to set what that cell counts.
• Report exports no longer shorten labels that have room to fit.
