Hi,

Apologies for my knowledge here. I'm very to new to this space. but I started this program recently and it works really well If i open this application and put the url of ongoin youtube live stream where it asks me for quality and then starts downloading.

However, when I try to enter a waiting template for a channel were live stream is not started yet, the progam closes as soon as I enter below details and hit enter. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Please note that I'm only entering the first line and have replaced the channel name with an actual youtube channel name.

ytarchive -r 30 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZlDXzGoo7d44bwdNObFacg/live best Will wait for a livestream at the given URL, checking every 30 seconds.

There is no frame up for it to wait on, so as far as ytarchive is concerned, it's the same as no stream at all. Per -r If waiting for a scheduled livestream..., but there is no scheduled livestream. You'll need --monitor-channel if you want to continuously check /live.

I just realized you said "have replaced the channel name with an actual youtube channel name." and not the one in your comment, but it's likely the same situation applies.
