Features

• Record only certain categories
• Record until certain file size has been reached
• Enable/Disable recording rerun streams
• Continue waiting for next stream after stream is done
• Automatically sorts recorded vods into folders based on streamer username
• Choose what quality to record.
• Record vods in max quality

How it's done

The program works by using puppeteer to open a twitch stream checking if it is live and whether it is a rerun and more. Once it has gotten the required information and knows the specified user is live it will grab the twitch stream m3u8stream link. Using this link it will use m3u8stream to record that URL to a mp4 format.

This was made for windows and ubuntu so it has not been tested in any other operating system. Though it will most likely still work. Please see Requirements section.

Feel free to take as much as you want from this project and use it on your own.

Requirements

• For both windows and Linux you need Node.js and NPM installed.
