OBS Studio Digital Clock Script

This Lua script transforms a text source into a digital clock in OBS Studio. The script makes a text source display the current date and time by updating the source's text periodically based on a configurable datetime format string. It connects to OBS signals to automatically activate/deactivate the timer when the source is shown/hidden.
