im Using potplayer to play and record m3u8 streams

the problem is the 1m 10seconds delay as its plating from earlier in the playlist

running the same stream on vlc 2.1.5 it runs over a minute ahead

Vlc records in the same format in 700x400 or whatever the stream is

when i want it at a minimum of 480 Height for use with youtube etc

so is there a way of cutting down the m3u8 delay with Potplayer or adjust the recording dimensions for vlc on m3u8 streams ?
