OBS Studio how to set options programmatically

Question

writing a plugin for OBS Studio, I am stuck on trying to set recording filename/path using luaobs or obspython

Settings->Advanced->Filename Formatting
or
Settings->Output->Recording Path

how would i go about setting those settings programmatically?

Answer 1

Unfortunately the bindings for SetFilenameFormatting are missing in obspython, to fix this issue i switched to OBS-WebSocket-py library

import obswebsocket
import obswebsocket.requests

client = obswebsocket.obsws("localhost", 4444, "")
client.connect()
client.call(obswebsocket.requests.SetFilenameFormatting(file_name + " - %CCYY-%MM-%DD %hh-%mm-%ss"))
client.disconnect()
