For me, the native downloader yields playable results (generally and for the example linked by @alext69), while videos downloaded with the ffmpeg downloader have video glitches, desynced audio and usually only play video for a few seconds after which only audio can be heard. Specifically, I can get the downloaded video to play in mpv but not the URL directly. youtube-dl 2020.01.15 |

…a segments with EXT-X-BYTERANGE (#24512) (closes #14748) The end of the byte range is the first byte that is NOT part of the to be downloaded range.
