ffmpeg and neulion

[utuxia]

I'm using the following command to capture a neulion stream (NFL)

  ffmpeg \
    -y \
    -threads 0 \
    -user-agent "${agent}" \
    -headers "User-Agent: ${agent}" \
    -i ${input} \
    -copytb 1 \
    -c:v copy -c:a copy \
    ${out_m3u8} \
    2> error.log \
  &

I have two questions....it only captures about every 3rd time I run it. The other two times it says it can't find the key. Not sure what's going on here.

The other issue is there is a lot of buffering when it does work. Is there anyway I can control the size of the m3u8 playlist (default is 5 I believe) and also the time of each .ts file? Default is 2 I believe.

I'm wondering if increasing both of these will help with the buffering.

Here's an example link:
