Allow variables (Dates/Filenames) in Scene Filter filename prefix settings!!!
Posted: 30 Sep 2018 22:02
I'm using the Scene Filter for timelapse, one picture every minute.
unlike video snapshot, there's no way to add a timestamp to the file name.... I've tried everything.
.... ANYTIME YOU RESTART THE PROGRAM WITH THE CURRENT SETUP IT STARTS OVERWRITING FILES!! ... and there's NO WAY TO FIX IT unless you wanna fix code and recompile VLC yourself right now...
This is a simple fix.
... you can't use any of the format strings that work with video snapshot mode... (WHY!?!)
$N - %H-%M-%S -- these don't work....
This guy wanted to do it a year ago

This guy wanted to do it 3 years ago (and was successful... because he's comfortable editing scene.c and compiling source code, which I dont know how to do... he got stuck on something else)
