Do not use Tubeup to archive live Youtube (or any other site) video. We will not/cannot fix it, it's not even our problem, and any solutions are unpalitable since they involve more code complexity to be maintained ontop of having to disable livechat for one extractor only for live video.

## Local downloading

Tubeup doesn't support local downloading only, keeping downloaded files. Please do not ask us to support it. Learn to use yt-dlp.

To mimic what Tubeup does but only download, run:

`yt-dlp --restrict-filenames --continue --no-overwrites --write-info-json --write-subs --sub-format 'srt' --sub-langs 'all' --write-thumbnail --write-description --write-info-json --format 'bestvideo+bestaudio' `
