Record only the Text Chat?

[Powerbock]

I am looking for a technical possibility to automatically save the pure chat history, not only the video as a file, but also the messages of the chat into a text file e.g. . Would this also be possible?

It looks like chaturbate uses websockets for chatrooms, which could then be saved to a file. ill add it to the list but if you/someone wants to sumbit a PR that would be great as well.

"someone wants to sumbit a PR that would be great as well."

I'm sorry, but what does that mean?

If someone else wants to write the code and then submit a request to have it mergerd into the program.

Is there a substantial amount of people that want this type of feature because I can add this rather easily as I already reverse engineered the chat for an unofficial chatbot.

If implemented how would you want the data to be represented, a list of messages like:

[time] user: message
[time] user: message

or in JSON:

[
    {
        time: TIME,
        user: USER,
        msg: MESSAGE
    }, 
    {
        time: TIME,
        user: USER,
        msg: MESSAGE
    }
]

Or differently, in which case I would need an example.

@RoyalFlyBy You should do the the first one or, if possible, both? Maybe an option in the config file.

What about writing the chat to an srt file then it could be displayed along with the video as subtitles?

It sounds like a good feature to add :-)
