Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxnIpgHQ-Gw - this is the problem video

The ffmpeg starts and freezes forever on frame 300:

frame=  300 fps=114 q=-1.0 size=     437kB time=00:00:10.03 bitrate= 356.5kbits/s

Selecting different formats using -f does not change anything: they all freeze on the frame 300

I've tried bunch of other tools and services and none of them is capable of downloading it.

Maybe a ffmpeg bug. Try adding --hls-prefer-native.

At least it progresses now - it downloads separated fragments and by the moment created 300+ files.

And every fragment is 150 frames long, so seems like the ffmpeg-based implementation could encode only 2 of them.
