Multiple instances on different scenes causes only one to work at random #181

Description

Setup

Scene 1: Capture Card
This scene contains webcam, microphone, and the input from the capture card to which I applied the filter to record on a folder ./OBS/GameplayOnly

Scene 2: PC game
This scene contains webcam, microphone, and the input from a Game Capture to which I applied the filter to record on a folder ./OBS/GameplayOnly

The settings for the filters are the same, like same file name pattern and folder.

Issue

When I start recording while on scene 2, sometimes it creates the video from the scene 1, presenting a file with black content and no sound.
The way to prevent this from happening is going to the scene 1, select the capture card, and disable the filter.
The same also happens on the opposite situation, while being on scene 1 and recording scene 2.

Changing the file name pattern to make it different on the filter (Es: prepending a constant string, like ELGATO_, and PC_) always generates 2 files instead.

Expected behaviour

It shouldn't try to record a video input that is not on the scene, maybe there could be an option to force recording even when not visible, or an option to stop recording when not visible to preserve existing behaviour, or warning the user about of the conflict.
