- The underlying implementation uses yt-dlp instead of the YouTube API, so there is no API quota limit.
- When this tool is idle, it reads the JSON file generated by yt-dlp every 10 seconds.
- Upon startup, it waits for 1 minute to skip old chats before starting monitoring.
If you want to skip this waiting and start immediately, please pass the environment variable
SKIP_STARTUP_WAITING
. - It can monitor membership-only live streams by automatically detect and import the
cookies.txt
file in the execution directory into yt-dlp. - It is not suitable for for scenarios with a high message speed.
It sends a maximum of one Discord webhook every two seconds, which may cause delays if the new chat speed exceeds the forwarding speed.
Discord has a limitation that allows calling webhooks up to 30 times per minute in the same channel ref.
If multiple instances of this tool are simultaneously running and pushed to the same channel, it's easy to trigger Discord cooldown. Please be aware of your usage environment.
If a file named cookies.txt
exists in the program's execution directory, it will be used automatically.
For Docker, please mount cookies.txt
to /app/cookies.txt
