Can't download continuous streams that last longer than the 12-hour rewind limit #88

For example streams like this that go on for weeks/months: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWB0ZnYfO6I The program just gets stuck forever trying to download it and keeps the empty '.ts' files. livestream_saver has the same issue. Is there an option to specify a segment range you can download?

https://gist.github.com/cheadrian/b661fb68a6a87ea64069e641cef68c3e This script is able to specify a segment range and download it, but you have to manually get to network tab, get the proper links and manually tweak the script and then concatenate yourself, lots of work.

This issue is noted in #50. I do plan to eventually automatically start from the earliest fragment it can retrieve if the first one fails, but have not gotten around to it.
