Request: Start from "now" #149

Hi,

I really love your tool and use it a lot!

A feature request of mine would be, to have an option, to start the recording not from the beginning, but from "now" (means with the current fragment).

I would need this feature, because yt-dlp is not able to record 4k livestreams, and doesn't record longer livestreams than 6 hours. I would use this for livestreams, that go for several days.

Would this be possible?

KInd regards

Well, given you gave an actual reason, yeah I guess I can do this. Just based on the title I was going to say "May as well just use yt-dlp or streamlink" but if they don't support 4k or haven't fixed the 6 hour token refresh issue, then it makes sense to add support starting from the current time to ytarchive.

That'd be amazing. Here's a 4K livestream to test a bit, it will be going until July 31st: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj57a1mP_n0

this feature is badly missing. I dont't need to / want to download the last 5 days of a stream just to grab the last couple of hours
