 Replying to [comment:4 jlubeck]:
 > Oh yes, actual frame metadata would be great if someone was getting
 pictures from an actual camera. It is not my actual use case though, but
 whoever handles this enhancement could go way past my personal
 requirement.

 This works with current FFmpeg.

 This sounds as if it would be simpler to use ffmpeg for the screen
 capture.

 Adding the current file name as frame metadata should fix your problem.
