CSGO GOTV
GOTV can be enabled on every CS:GO server. GOTV allows you to watch a game currently in progress with some perks which you wouldn't usually have on the server as spectator.
Enabling GOTV
There are 2 ways to enable GOTV on Fragnet servers:
- Enable it via control panel by going to configuration files and editing server.cfg with "Configuration editor"
-
Manually adding the following commands to server.cfg:
tv_enable "1" //Enables GOTV tv_autorecord "0" //1 automatically records tv_maxclients "10" //Defines the number of concurrent connections to your GOTV tv_delay "90" //Specifies the delay for the GOTV stream tv_advertise_watchable 1
After making any kind of changes to server.cfg, you should restart your server so those changes can apply.
GOTV will have the same IP address as the server, but the port number will be different. To connect to GOTV, you need the IP address and port for the GOTV server. For Fragnet servers GOTV port usually goes +1 on the first digit from the server port. For example:
Server IP is : x.x.x.x:27015, GOTV will be x.x.x.x:37015
GOTV status
You can check if your GOTV is working by simply writing the following command in your console (while you are on the server): rcon status. If everything is setuped correctly you'll have the following output
Demos
If not setuped to automatically record, you can manually start and stop recording your matches on the server by typing the following commands:
- tv_record nameoftherecording - Starts GOTV demo recording with the name you specified
- tv_stoprecord - Stops GOTV demo recording with the name you specified
If you have any GOTV recordings, you will find them in /csgo/ folder when you access it via File manager (on Game panel) or FTP Client. The files are saved in the .dem format.
