[FFmpeg-user] Can I set a "wait-timeout" for ffmpeg to not abort a stream download?

Here you go (even though I was asking for the existence of an ffmpeg argument to
tell it to wait out the set -t time rather than aborting if there is a pause in
the stream).
Actual URL domains obfuscated.

ffmpeg -hide_banner -referer "https://wwwwwwwww.com/yyyy.html" -i
"https://xxxxxxxx.org/2fwljiCVp2jdxA63hnS-ng==,1636958338/LS-ATL-54548-10/index.m3u8"
-vf scale=w=-4:h=480 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 26 -c:a copy -t 7680
input22.mp4

The referer and i arguments have been dug out of the webpage using another
script (based on earlier advice here) and it works fine normally, but for the
aborts that do not happen on every download. Only about every 3rd is affected.
So the referer and i arguments are in essence OK.
