Added a configuration for the video file extension #136

By default, if you kill the process downloading the mp4 file (or it exits abruptly for some other reason), you will end with an unplayable video.

Also, most (from my experience) mp4 files cannot be previewed while being downloaded, because of the MOOV atom, which is usually at the end of the file.

The mkv container fixes both of those issues and is handled by ffmpeg without any additional changes or performance drawbacks.

Hi, how's it going so far? Will there still be video freezes or missing clips after changing to mkv format?

tindor commented 1 week ago

Unfortunately, I believe that changing the container to mkv will not fix the freezes or the missing clips, but I have not experienced those problems, so I'm not entirely sure about that.

Added a similar approach. The skipping problem is because of slowly responding apis or slow network connections. This only solves playback during recording.
