# Livestream Archiver # Livestream Archiver
An event-driven Rust service that automatically detects livestream recordings, converts them for efficient storage, and syncs originals to PC for editing. Uses the shared `video_processing` crate for optimal performance. A Rust application that monitors a directory for livestream recordings, processes them with hardware-accelerated transcoding, and syncs them to a remote server.
## Features ## Features
- **Event-driven file detection** - No polling, instant response to new files - **Automatic Detection**: Monitors a configured directory for new MP4 files
- **PC sync for editing** - Syncs original files to Mac/PC for post-production - **Smart Processing**: Waits for files to be completely written before processing
- **AV1 video conversion** with Intel QSV hardware acceleration - **Remote Sync**: Uses rsync to sync files to a remote server immediately after detection
- **Smart program naming** - Detects Divine Worship vs Afternoon Program - **Hardware Acceleration**: Converts files to AV1 using Intel QSV hardware acceleration
- **File stability checking** - Ensures files are fully written before processing - **Organized Storage**: Creates date-based directory structure (Jellyfin-compatible)
- **Date-based organization** - Jellyfin-compatible directory structure - **Metadata Generation**: Creates NFO files for media servers
- **NFO file generation** - Complete media server metadata - **Retry Logic**: Caches and retries failed sync operations
- **Efficient resource usage** - Only processes when files appear - **Service Integration**: Runs as a systemd service with automatic restart

### Quick Deploy
1. Copy and customize the example files:
```bash
cp livestream-archiver.service.example livestream-archiver.service
cp deploy.sh.example deploy.sh
# Edit both files with your specific configuration
```
2. Run the deployment:
```bash
./deploy.sh
```
## Configuration ## Configuration
Create a `.env` file based on `.env.example`: ### Environment Variables
- `INPUT_DIR`: Directory to monitor for new MP4 files (default: `/home/user/livestreams`)
- `OUTPUT_DIR`: Local output directory for processed files (default: `/media/archive/livestreams`)
- `PC_SYNC_TARGET`: Remote sync destination (e.g., `user@server:/path/to/destination/`)
### Service Configuration
1. Copy the example service file:
```bash ```bash
cp .env.example .env cp livestream-archiver.service.example livestream-archiver.service
nano .env
``` ```
### Required Environment Variables 2. Edit the service file with your configuration:
- Update `User` and `Group`
- Set correct paths for `WorkingDirectory` and `ExecStart`
- Configure the `PC_SYNC_TARGET` environment variable
3. Install and start the service:
```bash ```bash
# Directory paths (REQUIRED) sudo cp livestream-archiver.service /etc/systemd/system/
INPUT_DIR=/home/rockvilleav/.rtsda/livestreams sudo systemctl daemon-reload
OUTPUT_DIR=/media/archive/jellyfin/livestreams
# PC sync target for editing (REQUIRED)
PC_SYNC_TARGET=user@macbook.local:~/rtsda/livestreams/
# Program naming

VIDEO_CODEC=av1_qsv # AV1 with Intel QSV
HW_ACCEL=qsv
HW_DEVICE=qsv=hw
FFMPEG_PRESET=4

PRESERVE_ORIGINAL_FILES=true # keep originals after conversion
# NFO Settings
SHOW_TITLE=LiveStreams
CREATE_NFO_FILES=true # or false to disable
```
## Expected File Format
Livestream files should follow OBS naming convention:
```
YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mp4
```
Examples:
- `2024-12-25_10-30-00.mp4` → Divine Worship Service (Christmas 2024)
- `2024-12-25_14-00-00.mp4` → Afternoon Program (Christmas 2024)
The service automatically detects service type based on file timing and existing files.
## Running as a System Service
Create a systemd service file at `/etc/systemd/system/livestream-archiver.service`:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Livestream Archive Service
After=network.target media-archive.mount
[Service]
Type=simple
User=rockvilleav
Group=rockvilleav
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/livestream_archiver
WorkingDirectory=/home/rockvilleav/livestream-archiver
# Load environment variables from .env file
EnvironmentFile=/home/rockvilleav/livestream-archiver/.env
# Environment variables for home directory access
Environment=HOME=/home/rockvilleav
Environment=USER=rockvilleav
Environment=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
# Intel Media Stack environment
Environment=LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
Environment=LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/intel/media/lib64

## How It Works ## How It Works
1. **Event Detection**: Uses `inotify` to instantly detect new MP4 files (no polling!) 1. **Monitoring**: Continuously watches the input directory for new MP4 files
2. **File Stability**: Waits for OBS to finish writing the file completely 2. **Validation**: Waits for files to be completely written (stable size)
3. **PC Sync**: Immediately syncs the **original** file to Mac/PC for editing via rsync 3. **Sync**: Immediately syncs new files to the remote server via rsync
4. **AV1 Conversion**: Converts to efficient AV1 format for long-term storage 4. **Processing**: Converts to AV1 format using hardware acceleration
5. **Smart Naming**: Determines Divine Worship vs Afternoon Program automatically 5. **Organization**: Moves processed files to date-based directories
6. **Organization**: Places files in date-based directories for Jellyfin 6. **Metadata**: Creates NFO files for media server compatibility
7. **NFO Generation**: Creates metadata files for media server compatibility 7. **Cleanup**: Optionally removes original files after successful processing
8. **Preservation**: Keeps original files on server for backup

## Architecture
This service uses a clean, event-driven architecture:
- **Event Detection**: Uses Linux `inotify` for instant file detection (no polling)
- **File Stability**: Proper completion detection before processing
- **Shared Logic**: Uses `video_processing` crate for common functionality
- **Dual Output**: Converted files for storage + original sync for editing
- **Resource Efficient**: Only uses resources when files actually appear
## Video Conversion Details
Default settings (configurable via .env):
- **Video Codec**: AV1 with Intel QSV hardware acceleration
- **Audio Codec**: Copy (preserves original quality)
- **Hardware Acceleration**: Intel Quick Sync Video
- **Video Bitrate**: 6Mbps (efficient for streaming)
- **Max Bitrate**: 12Mbps (for complex scenes)
## Troubleshooting ## Troubleshooting
### Service fails to start ### Service not starting
```bash - Check logs: `journalctl -u livestream-archiver -f`
