I need help on saving livestreams automatically

Description

First of all sorry for my English level 😃

So, I’m currently using the following command to keep a broadcaster on “watch mode” and start downloading the livestream when they go live: streamlink https://www.website.tv/username best --retry-max 99999999 -o filename.ts, --output filename.ts

The problem is that I can only capture a single live per broadcaster at time. If the person starts a livestream, ends it and then starts a new livestream minutes later, Streamlink will only capture the first one.

I would like to know if is there command which after the livestream ends Streamlink will automatically start searching again for a new live from the same person. Every new livestream has a different .m3u8 url so I can’t use a command to keep trying to reconnect to the old livestream source 😦 I have to get the new one.

There’s a list of codes but I couldn’t find a way to make any of them work: https://streamlink.github.io/cli.html

Thanks in advance.

Love Streamlink? Please consider supporting our collective. Thanks!

I think the easiest way is to use python and write a main.py which contains: while True: streamlink https://www.website.tv/username best --retry-max 99999999 -o filename.ts, --output filename.ts time.sleep(1)

Oh sorry I made a mistake. But since you donnot need the m3u8, just use a loop so that the streamlink process can be run all the time. I wonder whether it is ok, and I use ffmpeg to record m3u8 the same way to get videos when losing Internet connections.
