youtube-dl pipes the live stream to an external video player correctly using parameter "o" as shown below
youtube-dl http://domainname-example.org/playlist.m3u8 -o - | vlc -
A problem is when user close an external video player but youtube-dl still continues downloading stream. Does youtube-dl include some parameter that could help in this problem or can you improve support for piping to stdout? Now the downloading of the stream is stopped only when terminal window is closed or using Ctrl+C keys.
I use the newest version on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
youtube-dl --version
