Record a window

[Eli Abramson]

Hi!
I am considering using OBS as part of a commercial product my company is developing. The gist of it is recording a new (specific) window launched by a user. I see that this is possible when using the UI > Sources > Window Capture > and choosing among the currently active windows. My question is thus:
- Is it possible to specify the name of the window when invoking OBS from the command line?
- Is it possible to use wildcards\regex\partial name when supplying the name of the window to be recorded?

Thanks in advance!

It's not able to specify a window via command line currently. You could probably create a CLI to do something like that without too much trouble though.

Hi Jim!
Thank you for the reply!
Can you please elaborate on the CLI creation? Does it mean I'll have to change the OBS code for that ? If so, can you please direct me towards the area of the code?
Thank you!
