Ability to change replay buffer output path based on the name of a program or game?

[Rexxed]

Hey all, I've been using OBS for a while now, and I've saved up a few hundred GB's of replays on my HDD. Issue is, I have to sort them manually which is a huge pain in the butt considering applications like ShadowPlay do it automatically for you. I was wondering if there was any way of doing this by creating a script or is there something I can do in the naming scheme settings of OBS?

Just to be clear, I want to be able to save my replay, then OBS will check what game I'm in and place the replay in the folder associated with the title of the game, or make a new folder with the title of the game to put the video in. It's the same way ShadowPlay works, but unfortunately because ShadowPlay and AMD's ReLive only support 2 audio tracks, I can't use them.

If anyone has any idea of how this might be able to be accomplished, please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, I made a little script that will do something like this, right now it is based off the name of the currently active scene, but i am looking to to how to make it based of the game/window being captured. heres the link https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obsplay-nvidia-shadowplay-alternative.1326/

Just replying to see if you made any progress with naming it according to the window

Hey, I made a script that functions exactly like ShadowPlay. It takes the window title from a source specifically called "Game Capture" and moves replay files to these sub-folders upon creation. You need to name the game capture source accordingly, rest is automatic.

Still works, and good too. Download OBSReplayFolders.lua and detect_game.dll and put them in your OBS scripts folder, then just add the script in OBS.

i'm a little dumb could you specify which folders they need to be copied to? i copied it into a obs_scripting folder but idk if that's right. how do i use it after?

It does not matter where you copy them to. What is important is that you do not accidentally delete the two files. Press "Tools" in the OBS toolbar and then "Scripts". There is a button to add a .lua file. Select the OBSReplayFolders.lua you extracted. Once you save that, your replays will go into game folders from now on. The folders are created inside of the folder you specify for recordings
