Twitch Archiver v4.1.0

(2024-07-28) Version 4.1.0

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Any stream archived without a paired VOD grabbed with the watch flag enabled is likely corrupt due to an overlooked error with the previous archiving method, this archiving method was and still is not guaranteed to be flawless, but is a "best effort" attempt at archiving these kinds of streams. Apologies that this wasn't caught sooner.

• Rewrote object for storing stream segments to prevent parts being potentially overwritten.
• Add flag for ignoring part corruptions used for streams without paired VODs.
• Fix stream merged with ffmpeg being out of order if stream was buffered before archiver ran (#36).
• Fix streams without a VOD starting from a non-zero part number if buffered.
• Fix streams without a VOD not being downloaded if they have unusual part durations.
• Fix buffer being overwritten if archiving restarted during buffer interval.
• Add debug flag to grab stream and ignore any paired VOD.
