Question

WRITE QUESTION HERE
When downloading videos in a batch file, videos from YouTube will automatically retry (10 times) if the connection is forcibly closed, but Twitch vods do not retry at all which terminates the whole batch process. Is there an argument that will cause the same behavior in both sites, so that a Twitch download that is forcibly closed doesn't terminate my whole scheduled batch process (and hopefully can just keep retrying until the video is downloaded without having to manually babysit it as with the Youtube behavior)?

Try using --hls-prefer-ffmpeg instead of native HLS downloader, maybe ffmpeg handles errors better than youtube-dl.
