Question / Help Replay Buffer Output Path - Won't Patch Recording Path

[Throwaway256]

Hello,

I am encountering an issue where saving Replays using the Replay Buffer will not match the output path I place under the "Filename Formatting" field in the Advanced tab, Recording section.

I have in that field: </%CCYY-%MM/%CCYY-%MM-%DD/%CCYY-%MM-%DD %hh-%mm-%ss> (without </>) in order to save recordings by date. However, replays save in the root directory i put in the "Recording Path" field under the Output tab and replace the "%" signs with underscores. Also the replay buffers will append an "_" underscore to the filename if I do not specify a prefix.

For example, it will save as "_2019-02_2019-02-18_2019-02-18 20-22-47" in the Recording Path directory instead of placing the replay into the appropriate directory of RecordingPathDirectory/2019-02/2019-02-18/~filename without underscore prefix~.

Is it possible to save the replays to the same path as under the filename formatting field? Or is there an alternative to set a different directory for clips? Recordings work perfectly fine, but replay buffers which I primarily would like to use will be a hassle to have to continuously organize manually with this issue. Thank you.

OBS seems to replace characters invalid for filenames with an underscore, and the / you try to use is an invalid character for a filename. You cannot enter subdirectory names here. The input field has to be a plain filename without directory information. As far as I see it, OBS lacks a feature to put recordings into templated directory names. You can use templated names only for the file name. It seems it is working for the recoding name by chance, but not by intention.
