FFmpeg Stops Recording/Capturing Livestream After a Few Seconds

[simon744]

Hi, everybody! Sorry if this isn't the right place for posting this, but thought someone could help. This is very urgent.

So I am trying to record a livestream using FFmpeg, but a few minutes into the recording, it stops the process, even when the stream's still "going on". I am assuming the stream is re-authenticating, or something, but it's causing trouble.

Here's my command:

ffmpeg -i [m3u8 link] -c copy -f mpegts output.ts

Have also tried:

ffmpeg -re -i [m3u8 link] -c copy -f mpegts output.ts

Both produce the same results. I have to note, though, that recording the stream using VLC produces the same problem also. All playback stops, and you have to reload, so to say, the stream, to resume recording, which really isn't ideal.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance!

Even tried adding this at the beginning of the command:

-reconnect 1

Still getting this error:

This is starting to drive me crazy.
