Youtube v3 Livestream Downloader

I wanted something to download and save livestreams from a certain channel since I'm not always around when they stream and they don't save the videos to their channel.

This script runs forever watching and waiting for a livestream to start, then downloads the video and converts it to mp4 for more universal playback.

WIP

Convert to mp4

ffmpeg -i input.ts -acodec copy -vcodec copy out.mp4

Download stream using streamlink

streamlink -v --http-no-ssl-verify --hls-live-restart -o 2019-05-26.ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDIsueMUy-c best
