all streams selected using RCS

[aaronjnewman]

Hi

I am launching LabRecorder from a PsychoPy script, then starting recording automatically. Everything works fine, except that when the recording starts, ALL available LSL streams are automatically selected and saved in the recording. This occurs even though I have defined my RequiredStreams in LabRecorder.cfg, and only those streams are selected when LabRecorder is launched. It's only when recording starts that all available LSL streams are selected.

This is problematic because my lab has 3 testing rooms on the same VLAN, so if two experiments are running at the same time, the data from 2-3 experiments will get recorded in the both files.

Is there a way to override this behavior?

The commands I'm running in the PsychoPy script are:

pid = Popen(['./LabRecorder/LabRecorder.exe'], stdin=PIPE)
labrecorder = socket.create_connection(("localhost", 22345))
labrecorder.sendall(b"filename {task:story%s} {session:00%s} {participant:%s} {modality:%s}\n" % (expt_mode.encode(), session.encode(), subj_id.encode(), modality.encode()))
labrecorder.sendall(b"start\n")

Thanks in advance

actually I see now this is addressed in #102, but that modification is still in progress. If nothing, else, consider this a +1 for getting that modification implemented - the current behavior makes RCS LabRecorder effectively unusable in my lab.

@aaronjnewman , if you are willing and able, it'd be great if you could fork off #102 and make the changes I requested in that PR, then make a new PR from that. I'm sorry but I don't have time to do it myself.
