I also use --retry-streams 1 --retry-open 86400 to make it keep retrying until the stream exist.\r\nProblem is sometime the streaming site have issue, breaking up the stream. So I have to keep monitoring livestreamer to see if they get some form of error that they cannot handle for example when the stream ended livestreamer assume it really ended but it was more of the site stop transmission for a minute and resume in the next. \r\nI also made a script such that when i run, it will append the current datetime to it so if the connection drop and live streamer cannot retry it. I will run the script to let it continue.\r\nI believe --player-continuous-http only works if I am watching at the point of recording."}}
