Livestreamer Delay and Restart Script

Livestreamer Delay and Restart Script

THIS SCRIPT DEPENDS ON LIVESTREAMER WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED FROM HERE: http://livestreamer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html

This simple script can be used to schedule a stream recording and will also automatically restart it on failure. The user-controlled variables are documented near the top of the script and will need to be edited with start date, stream URL, etc.

##Windows Version

BY DEFAULT WINDOWS WILL NOT LET YOU EXECUTE THE DOWNLOADED SCRIPT! Please copy the contents and paste into a new file saving it as "ls_delay_restart.ps1" in a location convenient for you. Make sure you edit the variables at the top with stream URL, time, etc. Once saved right-click on the file and choose "Run with PowerShell" to execute. You will see an output telling you how long it's going to sleep. Once this time has been reached it will start recording the stream and restart if interrupted.

##Linux Version

Once you have filled in the variables from a terminal simply execute ./ls_delay_restart.sh and you will see an output of sleeping for x seconds. Once this time has been reached it will start recording the stream and restart if interrupted. Make sure you chmod +x the script before you attempt to execute it.

Any issues please let me know!
