Question / Help Replay Buffer File Increment

[Deleted123]

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to have the replay buffer save the last 30 seconds to the same file and overwrite it, but it doesn't work that way.
Is there any way to have it replace the last replay buffer file once saved (overwrite)?
I'm in dire need of this functionality for my instant replay feature to work!

As far as I'm aware, OBS is designed intentionally to avoid overwriting on duplicate filenames, and appends the usual (1) at the end to avoid this.

First workaround to mind would be setting up a replay directory, and a simple script to delete any files with a specific name present in it, possibly after they've existed for a certain amount of time. Could be an issue if you wanted a second replay within the wipe-timeframe of course, or wanted to delay before a replay.

Best idea would be to reach out to the video player plugin author, and ask if they could add an option to play the latest/most recent video clip in a given directory. At that point you could run the last replay repeatedly, and have an archive of highlights for later editing together (after all, if it deserves a replay, it probably is worth working into a highlight reel).
