Well, that was a different problem relating to how I can check if a stream URL
has stalled or disappeared. That was resolved and I have the necessary script
that checks this regularly.

What I am looking for now is a way to record from a 24/7 12 hour long stream at
an earlier time than right now.

Streamlink could do that until Youtube changed "something" in its protocol that
stopped that functionality.

I just mentioned webbrowsers because these are able to rewind to earlier times
when viewing these streams. So I thought there could be a way for ffmpg to also
rewind the start time to an earlier point.

But I am looking for a scripted solution that can be executed from the Linux
command line...
