Rename internal helpers to underscore-prefixed versions and move them closer to their actual call sites. These functions were never meant to be part of the public API. Clean up marker handling by separating concerns properly: printing markers no longer doubles as an existence check, and old markers are cleaned explicitly. Also drop stray debug logging when loading config. No functional change intended, just less confusion and tighter scope.
Overview
rewind is a lightweight, disk-backed replay recording tool for OBS that continuously records video into timestamped chunks and lets you retroactively extract meaningful moments. Instead of a short, RAM-limited replay buffer, it keeps a rolling on-disk timeline for the duration of a session, allowing you to mark events as they happen and later export clips either from the last N seconds or between named markers. A background daemon manages recording, chunk tracking, and cleanup, while a simple CLI provides fast, scriptable control over marking and clip creation—prioritizing reliability, low overhead, and post-hoc selection of what parts of a session are worth keeping.
Steps
- Setup OBS and make the recording output: "ts" with a 1 minute segment size
- Enable OBS websocket and take note of the host, port and password
- Setup config.toml with host, port, password info
- Run the daemon as a background service (rewind-daemon)
