Stream longer then 24h

[devpanda0]

Hey, I have the problem when a stream goes longer than 24 hours, I can't start a new recording on the streamer.

[mr-flibble]

Working workaround is:

• stop recording manually before it's stop itself at 24 hour
• wait for video conversion
• move files to other location
• start recording

There are two problems, one is that recording stop itself in 24 hours, and the second problem is that a file with the same name already exists (the stream still has the same id), so it is necessary to move the file elsewhere.

Hope it helps

[MrBrax]

it's a streamlink problem and they will not fix it sadly

[MrBrax]

it's the core part of the program that captures the streams

[devpanda0]

But what problems does he have if he still records it without problems?

[MrBrax]

with that workaround it will probably work but you'd have to babysit it every time

[devpanda0]

okay, wouldn't it be smart to program it to restart every 24 hours and try to make it seamless?

[MrBrax]

again, it's a streamlinl problem and they will not fix it

Would it be possible to detect the 403 errors you get when the 24 hour mark gets hit and then spawn a new capture with a new capture id or add a prefix so it'll at least record something as a new file? if i remember correctly the maximum twitch stream length is 48 hours so in theory it only needs to add the prefix once. missing a couple minutes when it's remuxing the first 24 hours isn't a big deal but missing 12 hours from a 36 hour stream isn't great

[MrBrax]

it already tries to do this, but it's hard to debug since super long streams are fairly uncommon

[MrBrax]

you could check the logs if it says anything about 24 hours or fallback capture

it turns out i had fallback capture disabled so i enabled it and i'll check if it works next time

[MrBrax]

i should probably exclude that from the config option
