YouTube Live Recorder

Prerequisites

• youtube-dl;
• FFmpeg;
• For users running the standalone exe build on Windows, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86), or another version of this package (if you installed the standalone youtube-dl.exe, you probably already installed this).

Download

Check out the latest release, with binaries for both macOS and Windows.

Development

With Python 3.6 or later,

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./YouTubeLiveRecorder

or on Windows,

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python YouTubeLiveRecorder

Notes

• youtube-dl actually has supported MPEG-TS since v2016.01.31 through the --hls-use-mpegts, which makes YTLR rather redundant (other than being a GUI). Unfortunately I did not realize this when I started the development of YTLR.
