ytarchive VS livestream_saver

ytarchive is a command-line tool that can monitor a YouTube channel and get the entirety of a stream even if the download starts late. (yt-dlp also supports this with --live-from-start, but it's currently experimental.)

i use ytarchive, it's very reliable.

I use https://github.com/Kethsar/ytarchive for youtube livestream recordings, I find it more reliable than yt-dlp for this use case.

Is there a way I can record Twitch streams from the start even the stream has been running for hours? Something similar to this: https://github.com/Kethsar/ytarchive but for Twitch?

these issues made me switch to a different tool, ytarchive. i've never had an issue with it.

these days i use ytarchive instead for this purpose.

ytarchive is better, easier to work with.

PS: If there is a better method to do this, I would be very grateful to know about it. I used to use https://github.com/glubsy/livestream_saver, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

there are some tools that can either grab from beginning so it doesn't matter when you start grabbing it (youtube stream capture or ytarchive) or monitor it and start capturing asap (livestream saver)

Found this one that worked for me: https://github.com/glubsy/livestream_saver
