	![turning on file extensions](https://files.catbox.moe/z6d82o.png)

![files downloaded](https://files.catbox.moe/wwsbnu.png)

1. Unpack every zip archive:
![unpacked archives](https://files.catbox.moe/8dsjp6.png)
2. Move every exe file from their respective folder above, FFmpeg files will be in bin folder:
![executables in main folder](https://files.catbox.moe/y9o1en.png)
3. Move every exe file to ==auto-ytarchive-raw== folder:
![moving files to auto-yta folder](https://files.catbox.moe/kounxo.png)
4. Rename ytarchive-raw-go-windows-amd64.exe to ==ytarchive-raw-go.exe==
![rename yta-raw-go](https://files.catbox.moe/qxdqbn.png)
5. Click on the address bar and type cmd before it
![open cmd](https://files.catbox.moe/rtr6cg.gif)
Paste inside `pip install -r requirements.txt` and wait until it's done then close the window.
6. Open ==channels.json.example== file in Notepad and replace the contents with
``` json
{
    "idol": "UCRMs0dRR4MEnCftyk6l1tvQ",
	"Kattarina Qutie Ch. idol": "UCMmy_EmxnYQ8aar8fNZrumw",
	"Nikki Rei Ch. idol": "UCBnmfjpmhGxao6v54fIIMUA",
	"Yuko Yurei Ch. idol-EN": "UCcIcMRVpNqWQn4WnDhRASAw",
	"Juna Unagi Ch. idol-EN": "UCTFCSCPvqjXEs3zq91aeOVg",
	"Rin Penrose Ch. idol-EN": "UCpZIbzoEC_3rZglErpQkbDg",
	"Pochi Wanmaru Ch. idol-EN": "UCP0csSl19lOSNwJGCFsJqAQ",
	"Fuyo Cloverfield Ch. idol-EN": "UC8zgKaS8LiyL28mdhRC2nBg",
	"Riro Ron Ch. idol-EN": "UCGaN6JMiDHZSkPXt-82b6yQ",
 	"Roca Rourin Ch. idol-EN": "UC9xR7uN0x5a6CH3Uopq7czA",
 	"Poko Rakun Ch. idol-EN": "UCk2k1y-d24nFyVCvyxnAaYA",
 	"Kai Saikota Ch. idol-EN": "UCC4hjJp_MttwfZcuWc0OpVQ",
 	"Momo Otako Ch. idol-EN": "UCe0JiGnjPfEwEIbWASbOimw",
 	"Coni Confetti Ch. idol-EN": "UCUfgKgCxtFs1ZPlyiM3JcTw"
}
```
should look like:
![channels json file contents](https://files.catbox.moe/3afrld.png)
7. Save the file as ==channels.json== (remove any .example or .txt there):
![save channels json](https://files.catbox.moe/w2n1nc.png)
8. Open ==const.py.example==
Change lines:
`ENABLE_PRIVATE_CHECK = False` to `ENABLE_PRIVATE_CHECK = True`
`PRIVATED_DOWNLOAD = None` to `PRIVATED_DOWNLOAD = "privated\%(upload_date)s %(id)s"`
Save as ==const.py==
9. Open ==text.py.example==
Change line:
`MULTI_MANIFEST_MESSAGE = "[{video_id}](https://youtu.be/{video_id}) has multiple manifest on [{channel_name}](https://www.youtube.com/channel/{channel_id})!"` to `MULTI_MANIFEST_MESSAGE = ""`
Save as ==text.py==
10. Create a bat file with this inside:
```bat
@echo off
:start
python index.py
goto start
```
Double clicking the bat will start the program. You are all set.

## Discord integration

Edit ==const.py==
`DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL = None` to `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL = "your webhook url"` [(how to get the url tutorial)](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks)
`DISCORD_SEND_FILES = False` to `DISCORD_SEND_FILES = True`
Edit callbacks to:
``` json
ENABLED_MODULES = {
    "discord": True,
    "telegram": False
}
```

## Automatic recording of member streams

1. Get cookies.txt file
You can generate it from an extension: [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/get-cookies-txt-locally/), [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt-locally/cclelndahbckbenkjhflpdbgdldlbecc)
Place it in the folder with other files:
![cookies txt in the folder](https://files.catbox.moe/bnv15u.png)
2. Edit ==const.py==
`COOKIE = None` to `COOKIE = "cookies.txt"`
`MEMBER_DOWNLOAD = None` to `MEMBER_DOWNLOAD = "member\%(upload_date)s %(id)s"`
!!! info
	If you wish to only retrieve ==privated== member streams, don't touch the `MEMBER_DOWNLOAD = None` part.

## Automatic recording of other live streams

Edit ==const.py==
`DOWNLOAD = None` to `DOWNLOAD = "live\%(upload_date)s %(id)s"`
`PREMIERE_DOWNLOAD = None` to `PREMIERE_DOWNLOAD = "premiere\%(upload_date)s %(id)s"`

## Rate limited?
Edit ==const.py==
`TIME_BETWEEN_CHECK = 10` to `TIME_BETWEEN_CHECK = 15` or even higher
`PRIVATED_DOWNLOAD_THREADS = 24` to `PRIVATED_DOWNLOAD_THREADS = 16`
