Really long streams incomplete

[mjevans]

Some examples (the two longer segments) were created during the recent Zeldathon.

The smaller of the two test cases is listed first:

Using the hlsnative option (and an mkv container just because) also results in an error, however it isn't repeatable...

It looks like hlsnative might need to retry segments up to N times (maybe 5 with increasing backoff?), if that's even possible?

Have you tried using an external downloader with the --external-downloader flag? It supports curl, wget, and aria2c and this issue seems to be a downloading issue. Aria2 is the most robust of the three so it might work rather well.
