After updating to the Docker develop image a while ago, I noticed that recordings often end early.
It turns out that Streamlink is now automatically stopping a recording if the HLS playlist is missing segments for more than around 18 seconds by default.
This is a problem if a streamer has connectivity issues for a short while but not long enough to let Twitch create a new separate stream.
Streamlink added a new command line option (--hls-segment-queue-threshold) to configure this behaviour. It would be great if it could be controlled by the user in the web interface.
For testing, I hardcoded that cmd option into the server code and set it to a really high value. That fixed the issue for me without any further incomplete recordings for the past few weeks.
