obs-cli

obs-cli is a simple cli tool for planned OBS recordings.

Usage

• -s, --start-minutes <START_MINUTES>: Define the minutes where the recording should start [default: 0]
• -d, --duration-minutes <DURATION_MINUTES>: Define the duration of the recording in minutes [default: 1]
• -b, --begin-time <BEGIN_TIME>: Define the start time in HH:MM format
• -e, --end-time <END_TIME>: Define the end time in HH:MM format
• -p, --poweroff: Flag to shutdown the machine after recording
• -h, --help: Print help information
• -V, --version: Print version information

Examples

Use minutes to input durations. The following command will start a 60min long recording in 10 minutes.

./obs-cli -s 10 -d 60

Another option is to use time strings in HH:MM format. The following command will trigger a 30min long recording starting at 14:00.

./obs-cli -b 14:00 -e 14:30

These two formats can be used together:

./obs-cli -b 14:00 -d 30
