Pull Request Overview
This PR clarifies the supported file formats for the OpenBCI GUI playback functionality and improves user guidance for identifying correct recording files. The documentation was updated to accurately reflect that GUI playback only supports .txt files, not .csv files as previously documented.

.txtfiles are supported for playback - Added a specific filename format example for GUI CSV recording files to help users identify the correct files
