not all updates are good updates.
i don't know any other way to record delayed stream other than recording from screen. that can be done with Potplayer, too. (i don't know can it be done with VLC).
with Potplayer:
- open the YT-stream and make the picture area as large as possible (i have a TV set as second display and i use that. on the normal one screen this is difficult). then force picture quality to highest.
- start any video with P-player and then stop playing it. press
ctrl-s and a recording window will appear on the screen. move and resize the window to a suitable size on the YT-screen picture.
- then press
alt-c to open recording settings in P-player. select a name and destination folder for the video video you are about to record. make sure that no extra sound sources are abled in the computer. then
start recording and click play on the YT-stream. then everything that happens in the recording window will be recorded.
writing the video on the disk is a rather heavy process, at least for my pc. it's so busy that it usually cannot record and write live stream (muted) at the same time without the YT stream beginning to freeze and buffer. therefore i have to pause the live recording on the the other P-player for the time i record from screen. during the pause the P-player will buffer stream and when restarted it will continue writing the video to the file without breaks. this works if the pause is not longer than 10 min. sometimes the limit is shorter so one has to be careful. then the recording will not be 'live' any more. if you want to have live stream on the P-player again you have to open a new player and start recording with live stream with that. at the same time continue recording with the first player till it reaches the start time of the second player. (make a note of the start time with a pencil on some piece of paper!). during the time two P-players are recording it's usually not possible to do much anything else. the pc is too busy.
did this sound complicated? it is. that's why i hate if my live recording has failed and i have to record delayed stream from the screen.

hubby usually helps by recording live stream to external disk with his computer while i make the recordings from the screen with my pc.
