Hi guys,
So as some of you may know, OBS can local record a stream, however the issue is at this time the streams always get saved as either a custom name, so it would be stream.mp4, then the next recording would be stream(1).mp4 so on and so forth.
The other naming scheme is Month, week, day, etc, and is what iusually use. So my currentl recordings(over 200 of em) look like 2014-9-20-1406.mp4.
Both of these naming schemes are not ideal. Here is my idea:
At the time when someone starts streaming, poll the Twitch API, find the game they are playing and the title, and allow those to be used in the OBS naming scheme.
Example: Save location: C\user\shrimp\videos\OBS\$G-$T.mp4
The output would be [gametitle]-[streamtitle].mp4
So if my game is "Destiny", and my title is "Destiny hard PVE", the resulting filename for that stream would be "Destiny-Destiny hard PVE.mp4"
Other modifiers could be $G - Game pulled from Twitch $T - Title pulled from Twitch (OBS has its own built in title formatting at this time that can be customized, so include those as well)
Make sense? I am by no means a coder, but if anyone here wants the challenge(I remember reading a thread about someone who was asking for code ideas) by all means take this idea. :D
Have anything to add to this idea? By all means, lets talk, I can add it to the post!
