How to properly record Youtube & Twitch live streams

How to record Youtube live streams:

  • use livestream_saver to download from the first segment. Can also record membership-only streams by supplying it your cookies (uses yt-dlp to download)

  • use ytarchive which basically does the same thing, except a bit better.

  • use youtube_stream_capture. You can use cookies file to get member-only streams too. Be aware that this script currently fails to download chunks as soon as the stream has ended (this might be a bug).

  • or use live-dl which does monitoring of streams too. This is a wrapper around streamlink and yt-dlp.
