How to Recover a Stream After a Crash
Your PC crashed mid-show: how to get the recording back, what is kept and how Streamdzy repairs the file on the next start.
The short answer
Streamdzy writes the recording in pieces, so what was saved before a crash is kept. On the next start it finds the unfinished session and offers to repair it, so you lose only the last few seconds.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Open Connections and the Health check. They show what your PC and network can carry before you go live.
- Choose a picture quality that the check and the upload test agree on. A steady stream beats a sharp one that stalls.
- Turn on Record first so your recording is never missing a moment, and viewers see a smooth stream behind it.
- Keep the Lifeline on. When the connection weakens, the stream steps down to a smaller picture instead of freezing.
What to know first
Results depend on your PC and your connection. Streamdzy’s safety systems cover the most common failures, but no app can fix a connection that is down. Run the upload speed test to see your line first.
