Description

Noticed that recently i only end up with tiny fractions of archived livestreams on YouTube.

It does download the entire thing. Fragment after fragment, the file gets bigger. Once it's finished, only a small file is left.

Here is an example:

youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va9vbM4EXbM"

Downloads 900MB+ video/audio, resulting file ends with 1.3MB (last ~5 seconds of the video).

Tested it with a few videos, and it only seems to happen with archived livestreams, and only recent ones.

(Not absolutely sure on this, but i could not find a recently uploaded video where this happened that wasn't originally streamed to youtube.)

update FFmpeg to the latest version(4.2.2).
