I have to find the time to check it. I have installed it on the broadcasting machine, it still working, but I didn't check it yet on the settings.

Hopefully you can happily use it.

Hi, thanks so much for this useful script! Is there a way to eliminate days/hours/minutes from the timer display for counting down smaller intervals, say 30 seconds?

I'm working on it. Soon a new version
Just waiting for OBS27 (in RC version) to test compatibility with official release.

Hey! Great work sir!
I will ask this as I am not very familiar with LUA, what would be the best way to implement this script with an option for binding a hotkey to start/stop the timer? I have a similar script already that has this option and im just getting dizzy searching through the code hahaha

Everything is clearly written on the README.md file that comes with the package you download.
About the assignment to hotkeys: this is a feature of OBS. Please refer to it ;-)
