📺 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
