 Summary of the bug:

 I am downloading .ts streams from a m3u8 playlist file to combine in one
 mkv video. Sometimes the first .ts file in playlist is not able to
 download properly, and I am forced to abort (using xerror parameter). I
 then need to manually try again and hope for the best.

 I would like a command line parameter to ffmpeg, so it will retry failed
 downloads from within m3u8 files if any of the files fails.

 There are currently no options to ffmpeg that will do this, and you have
 to retry the whole m3u8 playlist.

 This is typically the output in report when this happens:

 How to reproduce:

 Run similar command:
 ffmpeg -y -i https://exampleonly.com/myfiles.m3u8 -c copy /tmp/test.mkv
