I need to download the broadcast as .ts merged or in fragment form, without merging.
earlier it was possible to do so by changing the file in the directory with the program ffmpeg to empty content and blocked as read.
in recent versions after a program error, all file fragments are deleted and I have to download everything again, only this time through the task manager to closed the process ffmpeg or everything related to the program.
When downloading several broadcasts you have to monitor the process to have time to turn off processing.

is there any way to do it via cli version?
or other solutions to my problem
