Penta-AutoDownloader

Script for Linux / Windows that by default will automatically detect and download Penta streams at best possible quality. Some optional parameters to change stream and quality.

Requirements

python (3.8 or higher)
streamlink (1.4.1 or higher)
ffmpeg (Should come with Streamlink)

Setting up

If your version of streamlink is older than 1.4.1:
    install new one and check the result with: streamlink --version-check

Install requests module if you don't have it
    Linux: python3.8 -m pip install requests

The script will be logging to a console and to a file twitch-recorder.log

Edit the config.py root_path so it attempts to save in a folder location that actually exists!

On Linux:

Run the script

python3.8 twitch-recorder.py

To record a specific streamer use -u or --username

python3.8 twitch-recorder.py --username forsen

To specify quality use -q or --quality

python3.8 twitch-recorder.py --quality 720p

To disable ffmpeg processing (fixing errors in recorded file) use --disable-ffmpeg

python3.8 twitch-recorder.py --disable-ffmpeg

If you want to run the script as a job in the background and be able to close the terminal:

nohup python3.8 twitch-recorder.py >/dev/null 2>&1 &

In order to kill the job, you first list them all:

jobs

The output should show something like this:

[1]+  Running                 nohup python3.8 twitch-recorder > /dev/null 2>&1 &

And now you can just kill the job:

kill %1
