Running as service #138

Closed camjac251 closed 5 years ago

Is it possible to run this as a service without systemd? Like the process could serve as the service? I've noticed that when a stream ends, the process ends with it. Is this normal behavior? Can I change it so it's an always active service checking for usernames (twitch) going live and when one goes offline, it continues monitoring?

There is an example systemd .service file you can look at in the main directory, but it needs to be filled in by hand. In config.yml you'll want to set the daemon option to true and the tui option to false.

My personal flow is to have tmux restore all my terminal sessions on boot using a systemd tmux user service. One of the tmux windows is an instance of streamdvr with tui enabled.

Streamdvr shouldn't exit when a recording stops, but it should keep running so it can record future streams that start. If the main process exits, it's probably a bug. You can turn on all the debug options in config.yml.
