• Every time the Stream Deck (or any other trigger) stops a recording, the finished file is moved to your UNC share \\cda-desktop\b\Video\_INCOMING\sources\OBS-NDI-GARAGE. • If the share isn’t currently mapped, the script attempts a one-shot net use so it works even when OBS is running elevated. • All status / errors are written to the normal O…

"""
Move each finished recording to a UNC share.

OBS ▶ Tools ▸ Scripts ▸ + ▸ select this file
---------------------------------------------------------
•   Works with Simple or Advanced output mode.
•   No change to your regular Recording Path is required;
    in fact, keeping it on a local SSD makes the initial write faster.

Tested with Python 3.11 + OBS 30.
