Release notes
# 🎉 Live Stream Segmenter v1.0.0 — First Release!
We are excited to announce the very first release of **Live Stream Segmenter** — the ultimate OBS Studio plugin to keep your YouTube live streams running and fully archived, no matter how long you broadcast!
---
## 🚀 What’s New
- **Automated stream segmentation:** Never lose your stream archive due to YouTube’s 12-hour limit again! The plugin automatically renews your YouTube broadcasts on your schedule.
- **Seamless transitions:** Viewers experience minimal interruption, while you retain full control over broadcast segments and scheduling.
- **Flexible, easy setup:** Integrate with YouTube’s Live Streaming API using Google OAuth2. Customizable intervals and scripting allow maximum adaptability for marathon streams, charity events, and YouTube regulars.
- **Real-time monitoring:** Keep tabs on status, upcoming segments, and logs directly within OBS.
- **Powerful scripting:** Create and manage broadcasts with JavaScript event handlers — segment titles, scheduling, and more are under your control.
## 🎯 Why Use This Plugin?
YouTube automatically truncates live stream archives at 12 hours. This plugin ensures:
- **Your entire stream is kept on YouTube** — No more missing VODs!
- **Effortless transitions and scheduling** — Focus on streaming, not stream management.
- **Easy compliance with YouTube’s rules** — The plugin does the heavy lifting (so you don’t have to).
## 🛠 Platform Support
- **OBS Studio** 31.1.1 or later
- **Windows 10/11 (x64)**
- **macOS 11+**
