Hi everyone,
I'm video capturing a load of VHS tapes using OBS. It's actually really well suited for the job.
There's something that would make my life a lot easier though.
It's not possible for me to know the run-time of the VHS tape, otherwise I would simply set a recording timer and leave it. However, when the video runs out of tape, the VHS player displays a blue screen. Ideally, I would like for OBS to detect that a blue screen has appeared for x amount of seconds and either stop recording or play a loud notification so I can come and manually stop the recording myself.
I appreciate that this is asking a lot and is some high level OBS wizardry, but does anyone know a way of doing this? Accessing the API? Some kind of plugin perhaps?
I'm pretty handy with C++ / Python etc. so if that's what it takes, I'm willing to give it a go.
