Clarification: The "--hls-prefer-native" and "--external-downloader wget" parameters do indeed get processed, but they don't prevent the error message in ffmpeg.

I have a script working with youtube-dl that (cautiously optimistic) appears to solve the problem in initial tests. I need it to bake for a few days to be sure, but things seem to be working correct-ish now. Thank you so much, canuckInOR! There was

I poked at youtube-dl a bit and it is very promising. I'll poke at it some more. It's my hope that if I only run it briefly every half hour or so, and randomize its runtime slightly each time, then hopefully it won't trigger bot detection. Thank yo

Indeed, one of the problems I need to solve is how to feed the crows without also feeding the seagulls. I'll look into youtube-dl, thanks!

I'm not familiar with the NAS, but if you can run wget, perhaps you can try youtube-dl, instead? Otherwise, I'd pursue what Mark suggests -- why involve YouTube at all? I checked out the stream. I could rewind to 8:04am, where there was a gluttono

The boot drive seems to always be seen as "C:" as near as I can tell. So when booting from USB, with a different drive internal, the USB drive becomes "C:". But I'm no expert on MS-anything. Linux and Mac have no problems with

If what you are describing is possible with Windows now then I'd definitely go for it. This ability was one of the key things that pushed me over to the Mac years ago. There is a great deal of comfort when you know that: - it is dead easy to clone

So I might regret this, but I just picked up two of these WD 8TB external drives. I've ripped them open and one by one replaced two 3TB drives in my Synology. Once this second one is in place I should have much more space, and I plan on swapping out

I cannot help much with MS-Win, but I do know that you CAN install/boot MS-Windows (most versions) on an external USB drive, using (free) WinToUSB software to do the install. So, one way to accomplish that here, would be to first partition the new 3
