    Discontinued MOVE TO NIGHTLY BUILDS FROM YT-DLP. DO NOT USE (by ytdl-patched)

  • I want to record/download TikTok live streams. I am running the latest unofficial release of yt-dlp from here. Also using the latest version of mpv. The live streams are served through a link like https://pull-flv-l1-sg01.tiktokcdn.com/stage/stream-123456789_abc.flv which indicates they're flv files. Currently my two methods for downloading these streams are:

  • NPushOver

    Discontinued Full fledged, async, .Net Pushover client

  • i use pushover for shit like this.

  • InfluxDB
