Yeah, i've got a busy day of ... oh sitting on my butt drinking, playing games and watching Youtube or blurays mainly Holo but there's a couple of PRISM streams i want to catch too. My mum is old so i don't want to risk going back home at the moment, just in case.
I've also found a REALLY handy tool called "ytarchive" which is a nice tool to have together with yt-dlp, aria2c, ffmpeg. Basically it monitors a youtube channel for live streams or a video url for the start of the program and then passes them off to ffmpeg to download. After spending time writing powershell scripts and playing with scheduled tasks i got bored and wondered if there was a simple tool that would hopefully cope with delayed streams etc.
I'm testing it with IRyS' unarchived karaoke at 2:15am and Naki's Padoru stream at 3am.
Here it is:
Garbage Youtube livestream downloader. Contribute to Kethsar/ytarchive development by creating an account on GitHub.

Pastebin - Simple ytarchive example from a Mumei follower.
I'm testing this command in a batch file and passing in a channel/live url and a video url for testing in two instances:
"%~dp0ytarchive.exe" -w -v -t %1 480p/720p/best
I may also try this python tool too:
Monitor a Youtube channel and download live-streams from the first segment - glubsy/livestream_saver

I won't be abandoning yt-dlp as it allowed me to archive 12 hours of Non's 16 hour Crazy Frog stream of cosmic horror which is actually enough for anyone thinking about it but hopefully ytarchive will let me setup the command and go to bed if i need to.
