Add a "Resume" option/system #185

It would be nice if you can add a "Resume" option for Live Downloads.

Sometimes happens that due to a bad connection, the livestream stops and at the same time it stops download on TwitchLink then when the stream resumes, you have to download it again manually. This could be a problem especially cause there is no notification that inform you.

Let's say i'll go in livestream and at the same time i download my own stream. During the livestream at some point my bad connection stops the livestream for a second but then it resume immediately. During the livestream i can't check TwitchLink so what happens is that maybe i've did my 3-4 hours livestream and then i found out that TwitchLink have downloaded only the first hour.

Having a "Resume" option or better, a resume system that automatically resumes the stream would be really helpful. I've noticed this happens most of the time with IRL streams.

Of course i'm not an expert and so i don't know if is something possible.

I'm sorry, but we do not provide the feature to pause and splice live streaming videos at will. Such functionality could introduce a host of issues due to the nature of live broadcasts. You may need to halt the download and start a new one, or use a different professional video editor to merge the footage.
