Streamlink recording constantly buffers

[thestormarchive]

Hello all! I am using Streamlink to record a m3u8 livestream link with the following command:

streamlink --record test11 [m3u8 URL] best

(the link has been removed to avoid any posting/copyright issues, but can be provided upon request)

I use the "--record" to playback the file while it is also writes to a file. This works fine, except for the buffering I experience. I can play the link just fine in VLC, but not when using streamlink.

I have attempted to use the "--ringbuffer-size" to experiment with different amounts from 16-128mb, but none of them really fix the problem. I have disabled the caching in VLC to ensure no issues there.

What can I do to fix the buffering? Thanks so much!

try use N_m3u8DL-RE

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe "m3u8 url" --custom-hls-key "if needed" --live-real-time-merge --live-record-limit <TIME>

replace <TIME> with your recording time e.g. 01:00:00
