so I added a few streams to check if it works but it shows they aren't running when I go to the site they are online, it also shows this for every stream.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

i just did all things but show started recording and makes errors

Save the stream with the chats as we will also be able to experience and enjoy what's happening in the room.

May be like this: (I have blurred the image)

" https://ibb.co/b2S1jDk "

Upper part without blur

Lower part without blur

The original video is in this way with the chats on left

I played the saved file with SKYBOX VR PLAYER, but there is a difference in the display when streaming on the web. Is there any other way to play it?

so i added about 80 models and when i stopped the script it said "rate limited" on every model. where is the problem? my hardware is more then enough to run even 1000 at the same time even my network is strong enough (1gb up and down).

There's any way to "bypass" private show from CB and record it?

MKV allows to play videos while being encoded, and it should as well be not as broken unless the mp4 file.

Can u add a feature to FFMPEG transcode the files into H265 after stream ends?
Actually I'm using Tdarr to compress the files using an FFMPEG transcode plugin and I'm saving like 50% more space with minimum visible quality loss (probably I haven't configured it properly).

stripchat \ xhamsterlivesome models have vr cams, it would be nice if you add the vr stream as well, is a wss link.

Controller.py status

BongaCams | True | Not running

3 days worked then stopped, ip changed.

Hi, how can I stop a current recording without stopping monitoring that user? or simply how to stop a recording?

thanks

I noticed that FFMPEG doesn't close tasks even after many days. Also when I stop the script (ctrl-c or quit ) it remains pending as if waiting for all streams (ffmpeg task) to finish. Forcing me to kill everything.
After this some files remain unreadable, for example the 12 day old stream. (Which I assume is finished)


Is a FFMPEG problem or a script problem ?
Should we add a "-t 01:00:00" and limit to 1 hour file ? or something to force the connection down and wait for the bot to restart the download(i dont mind loosing 1 minute of stream)
How to recover "damaged" files ?Do I have to re-encode ?

I add that there have been some internet connection drops, but like 1 every 2/3 days, it's hard to trace whether it's their fault

Thanks in advance

Console keeps spamming a streamer status, when something happens, instead of repeating it on loop, maybe say it once, then if the status changes, update it without spamming it.

Hello!

Is there any chance you could add support for recording MFC cams? Would be great

Thank you for taking it into consideration

Cheers

I'm only getting Rate Limited for CB for some reason. Currently recording 4 models 2 from SC and 2 from CB, read the previous Rate Limited thread surely 2 models arent that demanding right?

Thanks for the tool btw!

Hi, I wonder if there would be any way to record a specific geo-blocked cam4 streamer or set a VPN just for her. I have an VPN app installed on Windows but i don't want to have it ON all the time. Filtering by program inside the VPN app doesn't fit my needs neither, for example allowing VPN only for py.exe process, because I just want one specific streamer to be bypassed with VPN while the other streamers uses my regular internet and IP. Would this be possible to do?

Thanks.

The software works pretty good.
But I stopped accidentally the downloader and some recordings was left, which i can't open with vlc. Can I somehow repair the stream with a ffmpeg command?

https://dreamcam.com/

is vr only camgirl site

Not working for me. I think its not added to controller.py and manager.py

I noticed UserAgent parameter was left out in FFmpeg function. My SC recordings got broken and after supplying the UA parameter, it got working again.

Hi,

Within the last 24hr I began to receive this error when attempting to run the Downloader.py script. I tried in both a Windows 10 environment and Linux (debian):

PS E:\StreaMonitor> python3.10.exe .\Downloader.py
Expecting value: line 87 column 1 (char 1722)

python3.10 Downloader.py
Expecting value: line 87 column 1 (char 1722)

I'm using Python3.10 on both systems and have all the modules installed from the requirements.txt file.

Any help on troubleshooting this error is appreciated.

Streamers on MFC can enter an away state where their account stays logged in and present in the chatroom, but the video broadcast is temporarily disabled.

StreaMonitor seems unprepared for this user state, throwing tons of errors and spamming traceroutes to the console every few seconds.

I'm not sure if this always happens or only under certain circumstances (I've only been using StreaMonitor for a day or two) but there probably ought to be a more elegant way to handle this fairly common occurrence.

I'm trying for a while to get this running in docker. Would you be open to support this?

Hello, I really appreciate this great work. Would it be possible to set a disk space to be left to avoid filling the disk to 100%.

There's a possible API update by stripchat on their websocket system .
it keeps closing now.

Possibility to Stop/Start all/selected recordings

Im getting error 500 with the new update when accessing http://127.0.0.1:5000

When I open the recorded video with the
1.Default windows 10 films and photo viewer it doesn't play good stops at frames, cubical blurs and out of sync audio and video
2.Google chrome it does not show cubical blur but same stopping at frames and out of sync audio and video

I tried a lot of players(even pot player did same as windows film and photo viewer) and found that the videos play the best in acv video converter no stopping frames, no blurs, no out of sync audio and video(did it get synced automatically) but it did lose or may be skip a very few frames though.

What is happening please tell

Dunno wtf happens but sometimes it stop searching for online streams. It only get back working when a command is entered.

When I run the script for CamSoda, the video file is created but never increases in size past 256 KB.

• I have tried running it for MFC and it works as expected.
• I am running Python 3.10 on EndeavourOS (Linux).
• I have tried changing the user agent in the CamSoda.py file to a generic Google Chrome Windows 10 PC

Running windows 10 32 bit
Installed ffmpeg 4.2.2 win32-static
Had installed python 3.10.8 and the same above issue occurred, then uninstalled it and installed python 3.9 but no luck, same issue

Hi. Something weird I've been noticing while checking my daily C4 and CB mp4s is that some recordings (very few, but it's happening) from some streamers get stuck, they are like incomplete. How I noticed that? Because the streamer have been online for 2h and I only have 15 min of recording. I don't know if it's due to a bug, but to give an example of what it's happening:

1. the streamer goes online
2. the downloader starts recording as intended
3. after a while, for some reason the recording hangs. But the downloader does not detect any streamer status change, she is still "online" but not recording anything
4. the streamer is still broadcasting but the algorithm is not recording because it got stuck in the previous step, so we lose that model broadcast (for example if the model streams for 2h but the recording got stuck at min 15, we lost 1h 45min of streaming)
5. The streamer goes offline but the downloader keep showing online for the whole day
6. because the bot doesn't detect any offline status, there's no "stop" signal, so the ffmpeg.exe process is open for the infinity and the file can't be played because ffmpeg.exe is using it.
7. because the ffmpeg.exe process is stuck endlessly, you have to kill it manually with task manager (it doesn't terminate with the stop command either) so the file we get is a corrupted mp4 of an incomplete recording, because the rest of the stream could not be recorded as it got stuck at minute 15 (for example)

I don't know why is this happening. I thought that maybe the streamer disconnects for a sec because of an internet issue or something and the downloader doesn't detect it and gets stuck ¿? I really have no idea. It's just happening with 2% of the recordings but it's there and I already lost a couple of important streams. I don't have console output of the issue because I have no idea when the problem is reproduced, probably hours before I made the daily review of the recordings. What do you think? Cheers.

Some models are streaming on different plattforms.
But downloading every stream would be not good. But sometimes they only stream on one and before you don't know.
My idea is the following.
In the add command after the modelname and the site, you can also add a group and another parameter, about how to download within the group i tell more about later.
A group is just a unique name the user can choose on its own.
The parameter after the group is the recoring within the group. For example 1: only record, when no other stream is recording or 2: only record if another stream is in private. This could be useful sometimes useful, when someone forgets to put private on ^^
What you think?

Is there any chance to add LJ website?

Where do i see the videos?

is it possible to change stripchat.com to stripchat.global since .com doesn't work for me?

model online but not recording
put pip3 install -r requirements.txt
What else to see?

If i'm going to record stripchat models I do not get any sound. Video is perfect but sound is not working.

Also when the downloader try to download a sc model this error shows up but after some tries it is getting downloaded.
ERROR - Username: ERROR: ffmpeg exited with code 1

Also a suggestion, if a model is getting remove with the command the folder which have been created should be added the tag "- removed"
This is a better overview for not record this model anymore :D

Is there any chance MV Live could be added as a supported site?

I understand maintenance of existing sites and other potential features are likely more important, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Thanks

It stopped searching for online streams after 18h and only got back working after I pressed a random button on keyboard, why this happened?

do I have to open anything so it can record like the downloader.py file, should it be open to record the streams?

It keeps spamming this.

also whenever a websocket freezes, it adds extra frames of the same image on it.

Which keys needed ? room_id ? running ? username ? site ( long or 2letter ) ?

How to set custom resolution to record streams in 720p or 480p or 1080p

There's a crash happening during recording streams and the script closes by itself.
