Save file with date

Postby WilliamL » 05 Feb 2014 00:23

How do I save a file, using Streaming/Export Wizard, with the date and time?

Here is how I used to do it (text in 'MRL' of last screen)

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=192}:standard{mux=ps,access=file{no-overwrite},dst=/Users/vering2/Desktop/Stream-%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M.mpg}
But now I end up with a file name of
Stream-%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M.mpg'
How should it be done?

Try a 2.2.0 nightly build.

This seems to be still broken in 2.2.4 or is there another way to do it?
