A channel is displayed online when the broadcaster’s profile logs in. There does not have to be a public stream at that time. Even if the channel is in a closed transmission, the channel is displayed as online but the stream cannot be queried.
Also the preview of the stream does not come from the stream directly but from images of the pages. XstreaMon tries to search for the stream in short intervals. So it can be that between going online of the channel and the start of the recording some time passes. The time interval is 30 seconds for automatic recording.
It also happens that the stream address is available but there is no stream data that can be retrieved. Then the recording starts briefly and is stopped again a little later.
As some websites increase their protection, it may also be the case that no streams can be received and recorded via XstreamMon.

Is there a way to record ticketed performances, group performances or private performances in the host’s room?
Should i use CRStreamRec or FFMPEG COPY?
The CRStreamRec Encoder has several advantages. The transmitted stream is copied directly into the TS file, it consumes fewer resources, can be terminated without problems, and the recording windows are hidden and do not interfere. The conversion to mp4 takes place only after the recording.
The FFMEPG Copy Encoder converts each recording directly into an mp4 file, windows must be visible to control them, video optimisation already takes place during recording, consumes more resources and must be terminated properly.
For recording and viewing the recordings, the CRStreamRec is recommended. If you want to edit individual videos and only record manually, then the FFMEPG Copy would be better.
