Replay Buffer keeps saving with the wrong file name when using Window Capture

First time posting here as I couldn't find any other posts describing the issue I'm facing. I started using Replay Buffer as I wanted to move away from Shadowplay and it's been working pretty well so far. However, there is one problem I've been facing with it and I have no idea if it's a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. Whenever I use Desktop Capture, it saves the recording with the filename formatting set in Settings "%CCYY-%MM-%DD %hh-%mm-%ss". But whenever I use Window Capture to capture specific programs such as Discord, it completely ignores the filename formatting and saves in its own folder with the same filename every time "Discord.mp4". This also means that it overwrites the file every time I save the recording, despite having that option disabled. What's stranger is that in OBS, whenever I save the recording, it says at the bottom that it saved with the proper file name, but the actual file itself is named something completely different. Anyone know why this happens and any potential ways to fix it? Is Replay Buffer only intended for Desktop Capture or something? Thanks in advance.

It's possible you have a OBS plugin that renames a recording after the file closed.
It's also possible you used the internal Discord recording function and you find the file created by Discord but not the file created by OBS.

It was the first one lol. I completely forgot I had a plugin installed. Didn't even know it did that. Either way, thanks for the help.
