toufikwb commented 3 years ago

first i'm a noob developer, i want to set custom file name to the video, can i do that? if that possible please show me the code : here is what i'm trying :

const obs = new OBSWebSocket();
    obs.connect({
        'sourceName' : 'newName'
    });
......
obs.send('StartRecording');
......
obs.send('StopRecording');

here is the link i'm trying to follow : https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket/blob/4.8.0/docs/generated/protocol.md#setsourcename

i'v also tried the following : obs.send('SetSourceName', { 'sourceName' : 'newName' }); obs.send('StartRecording'); everything works well except that the name of the file is the datetime

If you're still curious, you can set the folder the recording is stored in using SetRecordingFolder and set the filename using SetFilenameFormatting. "Source name" that are you are trying to use is completely unrelated to recording file names.
