📺 Framerate & Resolution / Fallback

Fallback indicates what to do when there's no expected target resolution, situation:

Availables: 1080p, 720p, 240p

Resolution: 480p (fallback setted to: up)
    Result: 720p will be used

Resolution: 480p (fallback setted to: down)
    Result: 240p will be used

 

📄 Filename Pattern

The format is based on Go Template Syntax, available variables are:

{{.Username}}, {{.Year}}, {{.Month}}, {{.Day}}, {{.Hour}}, {{.Minute}}, {{.Second}}, {{.Sequence}}

 

Default it hides the sequence if it's zero.

Pattern: {{.Username}}_{{.Year}}-{{.Month}}-{{.Day}}_{{.Hour}}-{{.Minute}}-{{.Second}}{{if .Sequence}}_{{.Sequence}}{{end}}
 Output: yamiodymel_2024-01-02_13-45-00.ts    # Sequence won't be shown if it's zero.
 Output: yamiodymel_2024-01-02_13-45-00_1.ts

👀 or... The sequence can be shown even if it's zero.

Pattern: {{.Username}}_{{.Year}}-{{.Month}}-{{.Day}}_{{.Hour}}-{{.Minute}}-{{.Second}}_{{.Sequence}}
 Output: yamiodymel_2024-01-02_13-45-00_0.ts
 Output: yamiodymel_2024-01-02_13-45-00_1.ts

📁 or... Folder per each channel.

Pattern: video/{{.Username}}/{{.Year}}-{{.Month}}-{{.Day}}_{{.Hour}}-{{.Minute}}-{{.Second}}_{{.Sequence}}
 Output: video/yamiodymel/2024-01-02_13-45-00_0.ts

※ The file will be saved as .ts format and it's not configurable.

 

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The program closes itself when I just open it on Windows

A: Try to open the program in Command Prompt, the error message should appear, and create a new Issue for it.

 

Q: Channel is online but the program says it's Offline

A: The program might be blocked by Chaturbate or Cloudflare. If the Channel is in a private/ticket show, the program doesn't support it yet.

 

Q: listen tcp :8080: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

A: The port 8080 is already in use, change the port with -port option (e.g. -port 8123) and visit http://localhost:8123.

If the error still occur, run Command Prompt as Administrator, and type net stop winnat then net start winnat, and re-run the Chaturbate DVR again.

 

Q: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

A: Your network is unstable or being blocked by Chaturbate, the program can't help with the network issue. Usually happened when you are using VPN or Proxy.
