YTLiveRecorder 1.2.11

Automatic YouTube livestream recorder (yt-dlp + ffmpeg).

Not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

Which file do I download?

Your computer Download this
Windows YTLiveRecorder-Windows-Setup.exe
Linux (recommended, auto-update) YTLiveRecorder-Linux.AppImage
Linux (.deb package) YTLiveRecorder-Linux.deb

Other files on this page (latest.yml, latest-linux.yml, *.blockmap, checksums) are for automatic updates — you can ignore them for a first install.

Usage

Windows

  1. Download YTLiveRecorder-Windows-Setup.exe and run it.
  2. If Windows protected your PC (SmartScreen): More info → Run anyway.
  3. Allow admin install when asked.
  4. Open YTLiveRecorder.
  5. Browse → pick a folder for finished recordings.
  6. Add channel — handle only (e.g. liquid_cryptid; @ optional).
  7. Start Monitoring. When a channel is live, recording starts.
  8. While Recording, click Stop next to that channel to save the current segment (monitoring continues; a new segment starts if the stream is still live).
  9. Stop Monitoring when done watching entirely — the app saves any active files as normal .mp4/.mkv under your folder.

Updates later: green badge next to the title, or Help → Check for Updates…

Linux (AppImage)

chmod +x YTLiveRecorder-Linux.AppImage
./YTLiveRecorder-Linux.AppImage

Same steps as Windows inside the app. AppImage supports in-app updates.

Linux (.deb)

sudo dpkg -i YTLiveRecorder-Linux.deb

Update by installing a newer .deb, or use the AppImage for auto-update.

Patch notes (1.2.11)

Packaging

  • Microsoft Store AppX tiles use the YTLiveRecorder icon — build/appx/ is generated from build/icon.png so electron-builder no longer ships the default Electron sample logos (Store certification 10.1.1)
  • Window and packaged resources now include the app icon (no Electron atom in the title bar)

Full history: see CHANGELOG.md in the project repository.

Notes

  • 64-bit only (no macOS build)
  • First-time Windows installs may need SmartScreen “Run anyway”
  • Release version 1.2.11 (filenames do not include the version number)
