Hmm, the originally-posted command

ffmpeg -i 
https://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/KUNMFM_32.mp3 
-t 180 -reconnect true -reconnect_streamed true 
-reconnect_on_network_error true -timelimit 180 -loglevel warning 
kunm_StarDate-20250111-1800.mp3

didn't include the "&>> .ffmpeg.log" on the end as shown in the later 
email. Also, take out the "-loglevel warning" and let it use the default 
(on my system/build, using -loglevel was not producing any output, 
removed it and got the banner/etc).


Anyway, run the command from the shell, without the redirect or 
-loglevel, then kill the process as you have been doing. This should 
produce a bunch of lines starting with the version and build info; paste 
all of that into the email reply, might be a couple hundred lines.

Are you using a current ffmpeg? That's always recommended.

z!
