24/7 stream - recording in small files

[Ganztageshörerin]

Hello,

I asked that in the support forum, but I got no answer so I was asking for a feature that maybe isn't part of OBS now.

If you run a 24/7-stream, your recording of that gets bigger and bigger.

Is it possible to record the stream during streaming hour by hour in different files?

Instead of one big file I want something like this instead:
2022-02-14_070000.mkv
2022-02-14_080000.mkv
2022-02-14_090000.mkv
2022-02-14_100000.mkv
Without a second missing between the files.

This would be nice, especially for very long streams or 24/7-streams.

Thank You!

I think it should be possible, I remember there was a plugin that did this, I suggest you search for it, and also YouTube, you'll probably find it easier there.
