I have now chosen hours for "sm_autodemo_ttl_hours". Default is 168, that would be 7 days. You can still go up all the way you like.

Yes, because the sourcetv bot is also disconnected on map change, and that automatically stops demo recording.

I will add a cvarString, so anyone can choose their own formating rule by setting a string. Then the CURRENT default would look like this:
auto-%Y%m%d-%H%M-
for the prefix. However I think I'll make your suggestion the default.

auto sb_status -great feature for catching hackers!
For that, I'd need some help/testers. I don't have any experience with steambans, we don't use it. I don't even know what sb_status does

I have already implemented that as a cvar "sm_autodemo_ignore_spectators", coming with v1.4
The keyvalues handling is finished, I only need to add one or two lines for the file deletion commands. Then I can upload it. But now, I'll take a break. Its 047am. *yawn*
