InfoWriter v2.3

I have created new builds for all platforms (using the obs-plugintemplate project on github) for OBS 28.1 - https://github.com/partouf/OBSInfoWriter/releases/tag/v2.3

Note for Windows: Windows blocks the installer because it thinks it contains a virus. This seems to be a false positive, but you can always try the zip instead.

For Mac: There's an installer, but it won't actually work (at least not for me) until you copy

Code:

/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/OBSInfoWriter.plugin

to the package contents of OBS

For Linux: If you have Ubuntu, the plugin only works from Ubuntu 22.04, unfortunately.

Extra options to switch things on/off for the Default output format

Thanks to various people suggesting new features and special thanks to TheTawnyFool for contributing code.

A generous developer (RetroGamer74 on Github) has added more hotkeys to the settings, I have built binaries for all three platforms.

https://github.com/partouf/OBSInfoWriter/releases/tag/v1.2

New:

• Supply date/time variables to filename (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/strftime/)
• Supply \t (tab character) in timestamp
• Option to Disable the logging of Scene changes
• An extra linefeed is logged after stopping of a recording or stream

Minor fixes:

• Linefeed characters in logfiles on OSX were incorrect

Hello everyone, I've rebuilt v1 for OSX

You can download it here:
https://github.com/partouf/OBSInfoWriter/releases/download/v1.0/libOBSInfoWriter.OSX.zip

To install:
- Right-click on OBS in Applications and choose "Show package contents"
- Go to the plugins folder
- Paste in the .so file

Added in this release are:

• Scene changes now mention the new scene name
• 4 extra hotkeys are added, the descriptions are customizable from the source options
• Included a 32 bit version

Example of new textfile output:

Code:

START RECORDING @ 2017-01-02 15:37:05
0:00:05 - Scene changed to Scene 2
0:00:08 - Scene changed to Scene 3
0:00:11 - Hotkey 3 was pressed
0:00:12 - Hotkey 2 was pressed
0:00:14 - Hotkey 4 was pressed
0:00:20 - Scene changed to Scene 2
STOP RECORDING @ 2017-01-02 15:37:27

DLL provided is x64 only and requires OBS-Studio v0.16.1 or later.

New features:

• Automatically start and stop logging when Start/stop stream/recording is initiated from OBS-Studio
• Removed Stop hotkey, it is no longer needed
• Logs an extra timestamp message when the current Scene has changed

Example output:

Code:

START RECORDING @ 2016-09-29 19:58:36
0:00:11 - Scene changed
0:00:18
0:00:27
0:00:32
0:00:42 - Scene changed
0:00:45
STOP RECORDING @ 2016-09-29 19:59:50

Added a hotkey to stop the timer.

ps. Reminder that this is x64 only.

This is the latest 64 bit build.

Changed since previous version:
* Fixed: bug in time stamp.
* Fixed: setting for file now uses the new save dialog thus no longer requiring a dummy file to exist.
