m3u8 stream recording stops at timestamp rollover

Hi there,

I am facing an issue, where I am recording an external source m3u8 stream https://onlinestream.live/play.m3u8?id= ... &ext=.m3u8 and converting it to mp4 with VLC, however, the stream is set up in such a way, that the timestamp of the video chunk is 24H format, and rolls over at 22:00:00 CEST, and that timestamp is in the middle of the window I want to record. So when the stream hits timestamp 00:00:00:000 (again, =22:00 CEST), the recording stops, and that's bad for me, because the programme is getting cut there, and I am missing the remaining part of the programme.

How can I tell VLC to not stop recording at timestamp 00:00:00:000? I tried setting up some bogus numbers at the stop and start times in the media stream menu, but it didn't work, it either just records 1 second, then stops, or it will still just stop recording at timestamp 00:00:00:000.

I think my question is clear, however don't be afraid to ask for clarification. Looking forward to your answers guys. :)
