@remitamine thanks for your response!
I guess it makes sense since normally you wouldn't want to merge a playlist of videos. I'll just report this as a bug instead in that case, since AfreecaTV should not consider a single video to be a playlist.

Question
Hi everyone. I'm using youtube-dl to archive some videos from AfreecaTV. On Afreeca, videos are implemented in such a way that they're chunks of 1 hour long, and each chunk is split into small segment files.
When downloading, the smaller segments get merged into the hour-long segments correctly, but the hour-long segments are not merged into a single video as it should be. In fact, youtube-dl seems to think that single videos are "playlists" of multiple videos.
For example, downloading this 4:08:14 long video results in the following files:
My question: is there something I can do to ensure these videos are merged automatically? I wasn't able to find anything in the readme about this. I suppose it makes sense since you wouldn't normally merge a playlist into a single video, but I think in this case it's not really a "playlist" but a technical implementation detail.
Thanks for any help 🙂
