TiLive ID, Link, or Username: What Should You Send?
If a recording fails before it starts, the issue is often not the recorder. It is usually target resolution: the bot must know exactly which creator or room you mean.
Why display names are messy
TiLive names can include emoji, spaces, symbols, and non-unique text. Search results can return more than one creator for the same visible name.
A name like THEA may exist more than once. An ID such as 196725100 points to one account.
Best input order
Use a live link first, a profile link second, a numeric creator ID third, and a display name only when you do not have anything else.
This gives the bot the cleanest path to resolve the live room and prevents recording the wrong person.
What to do when search fails
Open the profile in TiLive, copy the visible ID, and send that number to /rec or /watch.
If the creator is live, a direct room link is even better because it includes the active context.
For the fastest start, send /rec followed by the numeric ID or live URL.
