Option to dump obs-browser folder on client close or similar.

[Korlian]

Hello. I've figured out a partial solution to a recurring problematic issue that maybe could get looked at by the devs. My overlay is mostly BrowserSources, and after a few (long) broadcasts OBS starts to slow down more and more, eventually to a point where the BrowserSources have a hard time even loading properly. The solution to this is to go into AppData > Roaming > obs-studio > plugin_config and in there delete the folder obs-browser. Doing that, everything runs smooth as butter again. So I was curious if this is a setting we could get to have that folder dumped between each time the program is closed/reopened or something?

Hmmm, the folder is actually Read Only by default for me. Wont this just lead to loading issues between scenes while live though?

You could also set up a scheduled task in Windows to empty the folder every day.

Oh that sounds interesting. How would I do that? I'm on Win 8.1 if that matters.

There's a useful post here, you should be able to adapt it to your needs.

Thanks man, it looks scary. I think I'll just keep deleting it manually for now. Hopefully it will be added as an option inside OBS eventually.
