Corrupt video output when using N_m3u8DL-RE on test.m3u8 generated by akamai_player.py

[imsexydroid]

I'm experiencing an issue where the video output is corrupt when using N_m3u8DL-RE on a test.m3u8 file generated by akamai_player.py. The process ends with a warning about invalid data, and the resulting video cannot be played.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run akamai_player.py to generate test.m3u8.
2. Execute the following command: N_m3u8DL-RE_Beta_build-linux-x64/N_m3u8DL-RE test.m3u8 --thread-count 1
3. Observe the console output and check the generated video file.

Expected Behavior

• The video should download and output correctly without any corruption.
• No warnings or errors should appear during the process.

Actual Behavior

• The process ends with the following warning: 07:10:06.828 WARN : concat:0.ts|1.ts|2.ts|: Invalid data found when processing input
• The resulting video file is corrupt and unplayable.

Similar error if I try to pass a specific quality m3u8 with --custom-hls-key and it's respective key file. Could you please investigate this issue? Let me know if you need any more information or if there are any troubleshooting steps I can try.
