Automatically record STV demos?

I can’t believe this is so hard to do.
First of all, the tv_autorecord command will record pretty much everything and that takes up loads of space.
I wrote a script to clean it up once in a while, but it’s hard to tell the difference between a real demo and rubbish.
Then I found a SM plugin called matchrecorder which sounded exactly like what I wanted, and it worked perfectly – 50% of the time. It’s outdated, and the new version of the same mod has 1000 other useless features that I don’t want.
So please, can someone tell my how you automatically make STV record 6v6 matches in tournament mode?
I’d speak to frymaster myself. We have all our stv’s auto recorded at like 4am every day and popped in lists on our website, it’s like totally boss.
It doesn’t record the first and last map of the session so it starts on 2fort and once we change it records the rest until the last, so then a quick restart as you finish….speaking of which…hang on…ahem, and we have them all the next day.
TFTrue has that feature, maybe try it out
Well it worked pretty well so far except it misses 40%-50% which is pretty bad.
I’m upping them here: http://rcz.dk/demos/
So I imagine that’s something like what you have.
I will try out TFTrue, I’ve been looking for something lightweight and cba to learn SMs weird language.

Apologies for slightly off-topic;
How bothersome is the delay of a day? Our servers have stv demos available within 10 minutes at the cost of some server load to synchronise them with the web folder. If the day delay is not such a big deal I might consider doing the same..
Not a problem at all to wait a day for an stv. I mean, I can ftp in straight away if needed and grab them too, but waiting until the next day is fine.
I would suggest TFTrue.

On our servers, i have a cronjob checking the servers for active players every 5minutes and if there aren’t any it moves the demos and logs. It used to do it once a day, but usually when you want to upload logs/share stv with opponent, you want to do it right away and discuss/watch stuff right after your pcw’ing.
for what it’s worth, all I do is discard the first demo of the day (the time portion of which will be between 400 and 1000 ie 4am to 10am), and the daily server restarter seems to be violent enough that the server never saves its last demo of the day. That weeds out 90% of useless demos imo… this could either be run daily, or with a more sophisticated system a la slate
