Naming web cam files

Builder
1

First, many thanks for the addition of the web cam data collection!!! It is a great addition!

I would like programmatically provide a filename for those webcam files including subject ID, conditions and other info and I plan to do that in the “code” segment.

What is the variable name for the web cam filename?
Perhaps something like: thisTrial[‘webcamfilename’] = myNewFileName

Thanks in advance!

Hi @tlorig, from what I can tell the variable you are looking for is camFilename. However, from the builder, you cannot change the default behavior/naming scheme, which is

camFilename = os.path.join(
    camRecFolder, 
    'recording_cam_%s.mp4' % data.utils.getDateStr()
)

If you want to change it, you will have to modify your script after compiling it from the builder, implementing the naming scheme you need. Hope that helps! Adrian
