📦 StreamCap User Guide

🌟 Launching the Program

After starting StreamCap, if the system detects that FFmpeg or Node.js is missing, a component installation prompt will pop up. FFmpeg is an essential component for recording live streams, while Node.js is optional. However, Node.js is required for recording Douyu live streams or using Douyin app-copied live room addresses.

🎯 Main Interface Features

Once you enter the main recording interface, the buttons in the top-right corner have the following functions:

• Search: Search for a specific live room in the recording list.
• Add Recording: Add a new live room to monitor, which will start recording automatically when the stream goes live.
• Refresh: Refresh the complete list of recording cards.
• Start Monitoring in Bulk: Start monitoring selected or all live rooms.
• Stop Monitoring in Bulk: Stop monitoring selected or all live rooms.
• Delete in Bulk: Delete selected or all live room monitoring tasks.

📀 Recording Card Features

Each recording card has a set of buttons with the following functions:

• Recording Switch: Automatically starts recording when the live room goes live, no manual switching required.
• Recording Path: Opens the folder where the recorded videos of the live room are stored.
• Recording Info: View the current status information of the live room being recorded.
• Delete Live Room: Remove the live room monitoring task from the recording list. This can only be done when monitoring is stopped.
• Edit Recording Settings: Modify the recording configuration. This can only be done when monitoring is stopped.
• Monitoring Switch: Turn monitoring on or off.

💡 Tip

Click on a recording card to select it. Once selected, you can perform batch operations on individual or multiple cards, such as starting, stopping, or deleting monitoring tasks.
