Can't download continuous streams that last longer than the 12-hour rewind limit

For example streams like this that go on for weeks/months:

It tries to download from segment 0, but obviously it has expired long ago, so it gets stuck trying to download it and eventually fails. ytarchive has the same issue. Is there an option to specify a segment range you can download?

This script is able to specify a segment range and download it, but you have to manually get to network tab, get the proper links and manually tweak the script and then concatenate yourself, lots of work.

Right now this is unsupported, but you could simply edit this variable (and that variable too just in case) to the segment number you wish to start from.

It's definitely a bug that I'll have to fix in the next major version.

Thanks! That works pretty well. But is there a way to stop the script and force is to concatenate downloaded parts? With these continuous streams it just keeps downloading in real time forever.

It might be possible to force concatenating after an X amount of segments downloaded, but that would require some code changes. I'll add it to my todo list for now.
