Support monitoring multiple channels in one instance of the script

[Flynn1111]

In the interest of archiving all available streams featuring certain channels/people it would be a good idea to allow the script to monitor multiple channels at once without needing a new instance of the script set up for each channel.
the use case would be setting up a regex filter for someone's name and applying it to a list of channels in the event there's an unannounced collab.
as is, i'd have to run a separate script for each friend of the channel i am archiving which can get pretty cluttered.

Definitely something I'm considering once I finish rewriting everything async to accomodate this type of use case.

Has this functionality been implemented yet? The livestream_saver example config file has a lot of monitoring entries so I thought this had been done.

@JunioCalu you can select one section with the -s argument, but you still need to spawn one python process for each one.

Anyway, lately I have been leaning against implementing this feature, as it is much more error-proof to run one process per channel instead. I also tend to think it would be more manageable when run as a docker image.

It is also possible to create multiple instances of livestream_saver using systemd, as in the following examples:
