RecORDER for OBS Studio

==================================================

RecORDER is a Python script for OBS Studio designed to bring ShadowPlay-style automatic organization to your recordings.
It automatically sorts recordings, replays, and screenshots into game- or window-specific folders, keeping your media clean and organized.

--------------------------------------------------

Features

--------------------------------------------------

Automatic Folder Sorting

  • Detects the game/window that OBS hooks into (Game Capture or Window Capture)
  • Places each recording in a folder named after the application
  • Works similarly to NVIDIA ShadowPlay’s folder structure

Replay & Screenshot Management

  • Replay Buffer recordings and screenshots are placed in dedicated directories

Split Recording Support

  • Automatically moves split segments to the correct folder when OBS splits files

Fallback Behavior

  • If OBS cannot detect a specific application (e.g., using Display Capture), files are sent to a generic folder called "Manual Recording"

--------------------------------------------------

Compatibility

--------------------------------------------------
  • OS: Windows 11 (tested), MacOS, Linux
  • OBS Version: 29.0.0 or newer

--------------------------------------------------

Installation

--------------------------------------------------
  1. Download RecORDER.py from the project repository
  2. Open OBS → Tools → Scripts
  3. Click [+] and add RecORDER.py
  4. Configure your preferred output directories
  5. Start recording — RecORDER handles sorting automatically

--------------------------------------------------

Limitations & Notes

--------------------------------------------------
  • Sorting only works with Game Capture or Window Capture
  • Display Capture recordings go to the fallback folder
  • Report issues via GitHub

--------------------------------------------------

Example Directory Structure

--------------------------------------------------
Code:
Videos/
 ├─ Apex Legends/
 │   ├─ 2024-04-05 17-32-10.mp4
 │   ├─ 2024-04-05 17-32-10-1.mp4  (split recording)
 │   └─ Screenshots/
 ├─ Factorio/
 └─ Manual Recording/
