Building on the manual REC button from 4.6.0: each streamer now also
has an AUTO toggle. When enabled, a background poller in the main
process checks the streamers live status every 90s (configurable
30-1800s via config.auto_record_poll_seconds). On an offline -> live
transition, a live recording is queued automatically without the
user having to be at the keyboard.
Server:
- config.auto_record_streamers: string[] holds the watched logins
(deduped + normalized via normalizeAutoRecordList). Empty list
stops the poller entirely so users who don't use the feature pay
zero CPU.
- runAutoRecordPoll iterates the list, hits getLiveStreamInfo
(existing helper from 4.6.0 — Helix when authed, public GQL
otherwise), tracks per-streamer last-known live state in
autoRecordLastLiveState, and only triggers on the offline->live
edge. If a live item already exists for that streamer (manual
REC click + auto-poll racing), the auto-trigger backs off.
- restartAutoRecordPoller is wired into save-config so toggling AUTO
on/off or changing the interval takes effect without a restart;
state for de-watched streamers is dropped so re-enabling them
later doesn't suppress an immediate first-poll trigger.
- Wired into app.whenReady (start) and shutdownCleanup (stop).
- Initial poll fires ~1.5s after restart so a streamer that's
already live when the user enables AUTO gets picked up
immediately instead of after a full interval.
Renderer:
- AUTO pill next to REC. Off = grey outline, on = green outline +
green text + faint green background. Click toggles via saveConfig
with the updated auto_record_streamers array; toast confirms.
- Per-streamer state survives reload (it's in the config file).
DE + EN locale strings for the toggle title + on/off toasts.
Why this matters: VODs vanish from Twitch within 7-60 days. Manual
REC requires the user to be present when the stream starts. AUTO
closes that gap — the app watches in the background and captures
without supervision.
