"Record" default directory change + File Formating

Hello,

And first of all, thanks for making such a wonderful piece of software. You guys rock ! :P

I would like to set a dynamic filename when I press the red button "Record".

To make it short, I'd like to do something like this (I think you will understand) :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VLC\vlc.exe" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXX --input-record-path=C:\FOLDER\%Y-%m-%d-%Hh%Mm%Ss_Movie.ts

But apparently the parameter "--input-record-path" doesn't allow dynamic filenames. I must either specify a folder (and VLC will pick its own filename), or a static filename (in which case it will be overwritten everytime I press "Record").

I made some search on the forum and all I found are people using the parameter "--sout". It works as expected but the problem is that it records the stream as soon as VLC is launched, but not when I press "Record".

Thanks in advance for your help ;)

There is no simple way. It must be static.
