## 📺 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](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template), 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
```
※ The file will be saved as `.ts` format and it's not configurable.
 
## 🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
**Q: The program closes itself when I just open it on Windows**
A: Try to open the program in **Command Prompt**, the error message should appear, and create a new [Issue](https://github.com/teacat/chaturbate-dvr/issues) for it.
 
**Q: Channel is online but the program says it's Offline**
A: The program might be blocked by Chaturbate or Cloudflare. If the Channel is in a private/ticket show, the program doesn't support it yet.
 
**Q: `listen tcp :8080: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.`**
A: The port `8080` is already in use, change the port with `-port` option (e.g. `-port 8123`) and visit `http://localhost:8123`.
If the error still occur, run **Command Prompt** as Administrator, and type `net stop winnat` then `net start winnat`, and re-run the Chaturbate DVR again.
 
**Q: `A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.`**
A: Your network is unstable or being blocked by Chaturbate, the program can't help with the network issue. Usually happened when you are using VPN or Proxy.
 
**Q: `I'm receiving a message about CloudFlare anti-bot, what do I need to do?`**
A: You need to successfully pass the CloudFlare anti-bot check and retrieve the cf_clearance Cookie that is set in the browser after successfully passing the check. This MUST be done from the same IP address and the same User-Agent string MUST be provided to chaturbate-dvr. Provide the cookie value and User-Agent string with the --cf-cookie and --user-agent command line options. The Cookie does expire, but it looks like it's Age is at ~1 year.
