# automatic-twitch-recorder

Checks if a user on twitch is currently streaming and then records the stream via streamlink

## Dependencies:

- streamlink (https://streamlink.github.io)

- python3 (https://www.python.org/) (I use [python3.6](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-368/) for windows)

## Installation:

- clone this repo or download

- make sure you have python3 installed

- open cmd/terminal

  - change directory into folder containing the file 'requirements.txt'

  - type `pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Usage:

### Using the CLI (Command-line interface)

- in your cmd/terminal, run `python main.py`

- type `help`

  - `add streamer [quality]`: adds the streamer you want to record in given optional quality, e.g. `add forsen`. Default quality: `best`, quality options: `1080p60, 1080p, 720p60, 720p, 480p, 360p, 160p, audio_only`

  - `time 10`: sets check interval in seconds

  - `remove streamer`: removes streamer, also stops recording this streamer

  - `start`: starts checking for / recording all added streamers

  - `list`: prints all added streamers

  - `exit`: stops the application and all currently running recordings

  - `download_folder path`: sets the download folder for saving the recordings. (#streamer# will be replaced with the name of the streamer)

Example inputs to record forsen and nymn (this will also repeatedly check if they are online):

```

$ add forsen

$ add nymn

$ start

```

## Bugs:

- CLI shenanigans

    - text will get printed into the prompt / user input. However, your input will still be valid, so do not worry. This does not restrict the functionality of this application.

    - There's an open [stackoverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57027294/cmd-module-async-job-prints-are-overwriting-prompt-input) for this. Any volunteers?

## Plans for the future:

- Refactor to easily support any supported streamlink platform, e.g. YouTube.

- When done recording, upload to YouTube

- Export to .exe so you don't have to install python

  - PyInstaller and streamlink apparently do not work well together (streamlink will throw NoPluginError). Help is appreciated.

- Create a GUI with Qt (PyQt5 or PySide2) (fairly easy, but time consuming)
