Advanced Scene Switcher: record 24/7 livestream and want to separates 1 hour recordings

[Kimberley]

Well, I'm going to see a 24/7 livestream for 100 days, but I want OBS to record every hour separates. Example:

03-01-2022 00:00 - 01:00.mkv
03-01-2022 01:00 - 02:00.mkv
03-01-2022 02:00 - 03:00.mkv
03-01-2022 03:00 - 04:00.mkv
...
03-01-2022 23:00 - 00:00.mkv
04-01-2022 00:00 - 01:00.mkv
04-01-2022 00:00 - 01:00.mkv
04-01-2022 01:00 - 02:00.mkv
04-01-2022 02:00 - 03:00.mkv
04-01-2022 03:00 - 04:00.mkv

So I installed Advanced Scene Switcher, but I cannot see where to start. Macro section? And how to configure that? Could some one please help me a little bit to understand this? :)

Missing a few seconds or maybe one minute is not a problem! Just for my archive...

OBS Studio is not designed to be used via automation. It does not have scheduled breaks. You can probably do something like set up hotkeys for start/stop streaming+recording, and have them be pressed by an AutoHotKey script, but OBS is meant for attended, in-person use.

I would suggest to create two macros:

• The first one is used to automatically start recording when you are streaming and the recording is not running.
  
  
  
  
• The second to stop recording in a specified interval. (15s is just used for testing here)
  
  

Lastly you need to start the plugin by pressing the "Start" button on the General tab if you have not done so already.
Hope that helps - let me know if you have questions!
