I'm getting this error message randomly on some lives, ~~but it doesn't seems to affect the recording at all and is just that part~~, Edit: when the error occurs, pyinstalive will keep downloading the video segments, but it stop adding them to the json file, so the final merged video will stop at the momment this error occurs (usually after 1 min or so) the rest of the log is completely normal. And the account I'm using doesn't have any warning Also, this started happening after upgrading to v4.0.2. I've never seen this error in the previous version I was using (v3.2.4)
Command used
pyinstalive -d "username"

Thanks for reporting I would recommend manually generating the video afterwards using the segment folder (rename or delete the associated json file) whenever this occurs
Did some more testing with v4.0.2 and when send_heartbeat = False it happens randomly, sometimes right after I start recording and sometimes 1, 6 or even 10 minutes after I start recording
It seems that this does not happen when send_heartbeat = True
