Screenshots will save but not under the specified name

Postby OnkelCannabia » Wed Jan 02, 2019 9:23 pm

I'm using the latest version of SMPlayer on Windows 10. Screenshots are enabled and the template string is "cap_%F_%p_%02n". I've tried changing the template string, the folder, disabling and reanabling screenshots, but screenshots will always be saved as "shotxxxx.jpg" (x is the screenshot counter). I recently visited my parents and tried smplayer there and it uses the templates correctly. I changed a lot of unrelated settings on my PC here because I was having trouble getting certain 4K HDR videos to work, but nothing directly related to screenshots. Is there any reason you can think of why smplayer is ignoring the template string?

Please send the smplayer log (menu View) after trying to take a screenshot.

After some more desperate experimentation I figured it out. I had to change the multimedia engine in the general settings tab back from mplayer to mpv. Now it is respecting the template string again. Thanks anyway.
