YTLiveRecorder 1.3.4

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 YTLiveRecorder-Linux.AppImage

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 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.

Patch notes (1.3.4)

Bug fixes

  • Stream-end save is not dropped while the monitor loop is running — yt-dlp exit 1 (live ended, Did not get any data blocks) starts an async “still live?” check before save. hasActiveRecording treated the dead process as a stale slot and deleted it, so the close handler returned without copying the MP4. The check is now read-only; only save/retry paths clear the slot.
  • Help → About no longer opens the logs folder when you close the window with X — Windows maps the title-bar close button to cancel. That was hitting Open Logs Folder (the second button). Esc and X now just dismiss the dialog.
  • Log timestamps and daily log files use local time — line stamps and yt-live-recorder-YYYY-MM-DD.log follow the computer’s clock (and roll at local midnight), not UTC. Recording filename prefixes were already local.

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”
