The script and lib are made for recording broadcasts and VODs from Twitch.tv.
Main purpose of default script is downloading live broadcast without
mute from currently recording VOD.
This allows you to create a good VOD storage with info from Twitch API.
The library doesn't use ffmpeg or avconv for downloading because
corresponding HLS-playlist are always finalized.
Library automatically detects when VOD is completed.
Default script (launcher.py) actions:
- Checkup when the stream on channel goes
live. - Wait until VOD corresponding to the stream appears in Twitch API.
(by difference between stream's
started_atand VOD'screated_at) - Download VOD while its duration is increasing.
- Move file to storage.
- Go to 1.
Library use latest Twitch API Helix (docs).
All broadcasts will be saved *.ts as it presented on twitch.tv.
Use ffmpeg after if you want to convert files to another format.
You can enable telegram notifications about start/stop downloading and fatal errors if you want.
