i am saying other because i am not sure if it is a bug or something on youtube so if it is a bug you can upgrade the request to bug

after downloading a live stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PRCnWDhaxI overnight

this morning i got up to a 403 forbidden sorry i did not capture the exact errors since i got a great run.

i renamed the file downloaded during the overnight so it would not be overwritten by a retest.

i retested and no forbidden errors so youtube did not ban me.

i looked at the file size and it was like 3.7 gig so i thought it was a file size limit of 4 gig on the mp4 container (suggestion if it is a file size limit it would be nice if youtube-dl could split or remux into another container like mkv witch does not have a size limit (i have seen bluray rips run like 50 gig in mkv)

then i looked at the length of the file in player and it was just 30 seconds of the 6 hour limit of quicktime so maybe it is a time limit (again splitting or a different container like mkv).

if youtube is seeing the user agent and is banning youtube rippers you may want to allow us to change the user agent string that is sent to youtube.
