Question / Help File Name Increments

[gsnorby]

I'm looking for a way to have OBS use a number as the end of the file name, incremented on each save. So, if I do a few sessions, I would have (in my save-to folder) filename001.mp4, filename002.mp4, filename003.mp4, etc.

Is there a way to do this that I'm missing? Is there a trick I can use to do this?

TIA

It will append a number if the file specified is already existing.

OBS can even put the date and time as file name if you want, just leave the file name blank.

Really? Very cool. Thanks for the quick replies.

Guess I should have tried it first. >.<

I only noticed this feature while reading trough the source... as far as I know, this is not documented anywhere. (hint hint)

My full path is "C:\Users\Simon\Desktop\Video\OBS\%.flv" (without "). Since you can't use "%" in a file name it will use date and time instead, but it should work with just .flv or .mp4.
