Hey man, how do you record all the live streams with chat? I plan to get a strong PC soon; is there a guide that can help me with record live streams and download YouTube vids?
Don't know if there is a guide for all the steps included to record livestream with chat, donation features and chat ai summary like i done. I just googled all of it separately. I will try to make mini-guide for all the steps needed to record like i do later.
But in short its YT-DLP to download stream while its live with "live-from-start" feature on, otherwise it will download only from the point when you start downloading (don't forget to include ffmpeg.exe in same folder).
OBS to screen record (stream is fullscreen for maximum quality, except when needed to capture chat replay, but even in that instance i include downloaded original video file alongside chat instead of upscaled window recording) and include ai chat summary with separate window of live chat with custom CSS code to excude everything except ai chat summary.
Social Stream Ninja to integrate live chat (only while live, replay not supported) in OBS, format it, make separate donations featured.
Lossless Cut to merge separate video recordings in 1 file without encoding or reverse (needed because you cant record all stream while live, there is always a need to record beginning of the stream with chat replay or to encode stream with different video encoding settings for separate video files and then merge it).
Macro Recorder to record your mouse movement and repeat it indefinitely to show and hide youtube ai chat summary window in OBS every few minutes.
FFmpeg Batch AV Converter i use to encode h264/aac video for Odysee and av1/opus for archiving.
When streams are private, ytdlp won't work from my experience. You would have to manually record a stream, unless there's something I'm missing.
You need to download it while its live with "--live-from-start" feature before its privated immediately. Preferably more than 1 instance on separate drives to increase chance of getting uncorrupted file if first one fails.
