/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>11478797
i havent found anything like ytarchive for twitch, but i havent looked that hard either, since twitch isnt where my archival focus is on. i use streamlink on a script that checks for new streams every 30 seconds. its not a perfect solution, and i have the same fundamental issue with my automated scripts for youtube livestreams. for whatever reason when i try to automate ytarchive to check for any new stream the way my streamlink script works, it bogs my internet connection and i have to restart both my router and my computer. ytarchive still works great when i just feed it the link to a stream, so i use it as a backup. you could maybe reduce the timer to like 15-20 seconds? im not sure how many times a day you can ping twitch servers before they start to bog you, but youtube limits you to like 5k a day. a 15 second repeat would put you over youtubes limits, but might work for twitch? 20 second repeat might be safer. i know 15-30 seconds is way more than the fragments of stream you might miss out on just activating streamlink right when a stream starts, but i only automate as a safeguard against guerilla streams that im away for, i dont rely on them for the bulk of my recordings. i still try to be there for the start of every stream to start recording.

sorry for the blog post, probably wasnt even that helpful. not sure about the closed connection error either. feel free to ask more questions if you think i can help.
