-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 When a .m3u8 file does not contain a #EXT-X-ENDLIST, ffmpeg treats it as a
 live stream and repeatedly tries to refresh the file, potentially forever
 if the file is static.

 This creates an easy way for sites to break ffmpeg or youtube-dl.

 Ideally there would be an option that would indicate to ffmpeg that the
 playlist is complete and to act as though #EXT-X-ENDLIST appears at the
 end of the file.
