Trying to launch the second instance of OBS with a specific, different profile

[TonyMayo]

Why doesn't this work?
"C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --profile "Experimental_with_NDI_20210707" --startrecording -m

The -m flag works, it starts recording but Profile is not loaded.

{ BTW, this fact should be on the parameters page, IMHO

Try "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --profile "Experimental_with_NDI_2021-07-07" --startrecording -m

Duh! That worked (of course.) Glad I included the screenshot.

In my defense, I used the name of the directory created when I exported the Profile--and didn't notice the change in punctuation.

Many thanks!!!
