VLC Player Timestamps

[Lamont]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the screen-grabs (shift+s) to have the time-stamp in the file name and or on the image itself? I have tried the file name string formatting on the VLC wiki and had zero luck. Using VLC 2.1.5.

Thank you.

What's your current format string, and what strings have you tried?

Make sure you don't change the default file type from PNG to anything else (e.g. JPG). Filename formatting won't work if you do (known bug in VLC, no idea if it's been fixed in 2.2 or 2.3 (or 3.0 .
