advanced obs help

[lorddjj]

so, i am currently using plays.tv to record my games because its autoamtic and i am lazy. but is there a way i can get obs to start recording when a application opens then when the application closes stop recording after 5minutes ?

 

in more detail i am recording league games and i am starting a new series soon that require a decent bit of footage and with that same footage i am going to make other videos, but play.tv only out puts 1 audio file , so i am switiching back to obs and i am currently setting up voice meter to controll what sounds get out puted and then you can tell obs studio to put them in difffrent audio tracks, thats easy. i am lazy and i also play at all times of the day and i ferget to turn on obs most of the time, so i was hoping a program or just a script that runs in the backround so when obs is open and it detects leagueoflegends.exe (have no idea if thats the program name) to start recording then have it stop recording when the application closes plus a 5 min wait for post screen shenanigans.

 

any help will be appreciated or even a program that can do all this no problem would be extremely helpful  , thanks in advanced !

you could try binding a record key to a keyboard or mouse button. Unfortunately for me it has stopped working so well, or maybe it's just certain games. (I switched to the open source version and then had the problem. The keybinding worked just fine with the OBS Studio version.)

Do you have 2 monitors? You can probably just put obs on one screen and LoL on the other then click the record button whenever you want to start/stop. 

Other than that I don't know what options are available. I checked through the settings of the Open Source version but couldn't find anything. Not even in the Studio version. 

In the Open Source version you can record automatically when streaming, so that may be an answer, if you cease streaming between games. Otherwise I can only offer other solutions.
