== CSTV for CS2 Gameserver ==
 
 
 
At CKRAS, every customer can add a [[TV-Server|TV server]] free of charge for their [[CS2]] server. In the next steps we will show you how to activate the server, start recording, etc.
 
To easily manage these functions, we recommend that you first use our [[CKRAS BOT]]. This is free and included as default with every [[CS2]].
 
 
 
== ACTIVATE TV ==
 
So that the TV can be activated by toogle the TV Server on/off in the Panel or your edit your Server.cfg in Advanced settings.
 
[[File:Cstv-activate.png|alt=CSTV (GOTV) activate|link=]]
 
Change ''tv_enable 0'' to '''tv_enable 1''' in the [https://wiki-en.ckras.com/wiki/index.php?title=Webinterface#Config_.2F.2F_Server.cfg_edit] and restart.
 
With the new Default Server.cfg we have also stored additional TV settings. This will be added automatically when the server is installed again.
(version November 9th)
 
== START RECORDING ==
 
 
 
The easiest way to start the TV recording is with our [[CKRAS BOT]], simply enter '''!tvrecord''' and the [[Demos|demo]] will start. We recommend that you use [[MatchZy]] for the [[demos]] as the demos are created automatically in match mode and you can be sure that you won't miss any recordings.
 
<u>Start recording</u>: '''!tvrecord''' alternatively '''!rcon tv_record (name)''' - with [[MatchZy]] '''!start or !r'''
 
'''<u>TIPP:</u>''' [[Demos|Demo]] is recording automatically if you use [[MatchZy]] and tv_enable 1 (or TV is activated see above) is set in your server.cfg
 
 
 
== STOP RECORDINGS ==
 
 
 
You can simply stop the TV recording with the [[CKRAS BOT]], simply enter '''!tvstop'''


<u>End recording</u>: '''!tvstop''' alternatively '''!rcon tv_stop''' - or if [[MatchZy]] is used here, the [[Demos|demo]] is ended by ending the match or restarting it with '''!restar'''t.
