Sometimes the recording doesn't work. It creates a json file, but no TS-File or any other file

error: The specified stream(s) '720p' could not be found.
       Available streams: audio_only, 160p (worst), 360p, 480p, 720p48, 1080p48 (best)

seems like there is no 720p in his stream today. I recorded a stream few days ago with 720 successfully

[MrBrax]

right, so it's this issue

make the quality like "720p60 720p best" if you always want it to record, like a fallback

[dabenzel]

yeah, but what the heck is 48p... best is the easiest choice but consumes more space, so I've tried to take 720p

[MrBrax]

sure, but if you don't put best in, you won't get a stream at all if 720p is not possible

48 is what they have set their frame rate to, not sure if it's possible to set some kind of wildcard

[MrBrax]

https://streamlink.github.io/cli.html#cmdoption-stream-sorting-excludes

this might work as an option value, but seems pretty complicated

[dabenzel]

how about an input-box per stream for "extra" streamlink options?

[MrBrax]

maybe, the arg format is just a bit specific
