Description
For recording a live stream (e.g., a live YouTube stream, or a TV channel's live HLS stream), it would be nice to be able to specify a duration (e.g., in minutes), after which time the recording ends. Right now the only way I can see to do this is to start recording the stream with the --hls-use-mpegts option, then (at the desired end time) Control-C the process, then rename the ".part" file to have a ".ts" filename suffix. But it would be nice to have a cleaner way to do this - e.g., with a command-line option that specifies a duration.
