Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I download livestream videos from certain website and I noticed that whenever I start the livestream download it would not finish as the stream is ongoing.

Describe the solution you'd like

My suggestion is having a "finish" button whenever a livestream video is detected and mux the downloaded parts into an MKV container.

Is this possible on the yt-dlp side? You can only do Ctrl+C when downloading a live stream with yt-dlp too if I recall correctly

Sorry for the long overdue reply. Yes, there isn't any native way to end stream downloading in yt-dlp. But ffmpeg could do the remuxing part, I think.
