LiveCatch 2.3.4

LiveCatch 2.3.4

Maintenance release. No changes to recording. Safe to install over any 2.x version — your licence key carries across.

What's new

• Update notice. When a newer LiveCatch exists, a button appears in the app header. Click it to open the download page. Nothing updates automatically and nothing is switched off.
• Crash log. If the app ever hits an unexpected error, details are written to error.log in the settings folder (%APPDATA%\LiveCatch). Attach it when you write to support.
• Checkout clarity. The "payment not completed" page now explains the usual causes (bank approval step, international payments disabled on the card, wrong country selected).

Upgrading

Run the installer over your existing copy, or replace the portable folder. No uninstall needed.

LiveCatch 2.3.3

A small maintenance release. No new features, no changes to recording.

Changed

Time-limited trial and reviewer keys are now issued and checked by the licence server, the same way paid keys are. The old offline licence keys are retired and the app no longer carries the code that validated them. If you were using one, LiveCatch will return to the Free plan on first launch; your settings, folders and recordings are untouched. Email support@getlivecatch.com and we'll issue a replacement key.
Typing a retired licence key now shows a clear message instead of "Checking…".

Unchanged

Paid keys activation, the 14-day offline grace period and renewals all work exactly as in 2.3.2. You don't need to re-enter your key.
Free plan limits are the same: 2 recordings a day, YouTube and Twitch, 720p.

Upgrade

Install over 2.3.2; no uninstall needed. Setup LiveCatch-Setup.exe or portable LiveCatch-win64.zip below.

LiveCatch 2.3.2

LiveCatch 2.3.2 — Pro is on sale, TikTok LIVE fixed

Downloads: LiveCatch-Setup.exe (installer, recommended) · LiveCatch-win64.zip (portable – unzip and run).
Windows 10/11, 64-bit. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run because the app is new and unsigned: click More info → Run anyway. Every release is scanned on VirusTotal – link on the download page.

Pro licences are now available

• Buy at getlivecatch.com/pricing – Monthly $4.99 · Yearly $34.99 · Lifetime $79 (launch offer).
• Pro unlocks all platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok LIVE, Facebook Live), 1080p/4K, unlimited recordings, Watch channel and Record from start. One key works on two computers.
• Nothing renews automatically. Monthly and Yearly are prepaid periods; the app reminds you in its last week and we email you before it ends. Buying again with the same email extends your existing key.
• Your key appears on the page right after payment and is emailed as a receipt. Activate with Upgrade to Pro → paste → Activate. 14-day money-back guarantee.

Fixed

• TikTok LIVE showed "not live yet" for streams that were live. TikTok had stopped answering the room-info request the app (and yt-dlp) relied on. LiveCatch now reads the stream directly from TikTok's user/room reply and, if needed, from the live page itself, and understands TikTok's newer quality names. The Log panel shows what TikTok answered, so a genuine problem is visible instead of silent.
• Licence window stuck on "Checking…". Entering a disabled, expired or mistyped key – or a key already active on two PCs – now shows a clear message and lets you try again.

Changed

• Pro banner counts down in the last 7 days of a Monthly/Yearly licence with a one-click Renew that opens the checkout with your email pre-filled.
• The app remembers your plan (Monthly/Yearly/Lifetime) so renewals go to the right checkout.

Upgrading

Install over the previous version, or replace the folder if you use the zip. Your queue, settings and licence are kept (they live in %APPDATA%\LiveCatch). If a platform stops working, run get_tools.bat in the app folder first – it updates the yt-dlp/ffmpeg engine, which is the usual fix.
