plugins.twitch: Streamlink sometimes fails to realize when a stream has ended #3628
Description
Plugin Issue
- This is a plugin issue and I have read the contribution guidelines.
- I am using the latest development version from the master branch.
Description
Most of the time, the twitch plugin in streamlink seems to not realize a streamer stopped their stream, and will attempt to reload a now non-existant m3u8 playlist up to 20 times before giving up. I say most of the time because, I can't gauge how and when this happens, it seems to occur almost 98% of the time. It doesn't matter who's stream I'm watching, nor does it matter if they have Affiliate status or Twitch Partnership. It also does not seem to matter if they have the "Stream stability" option checked either.
This is with the current latest version: 2.0.0
Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test
- View any streamer on twitch, doesn't matter if they're affiliate or partner as far as I know.
- Wait for them to end the stream for any reason.
- Streamlink will either realize the stream ended and close, or it will get stuck repeating up to 20 times to reload the m3u8 playlist.

Additional comments, etc.
I'm sorry that's not a debug log, the next time I'm watching someones stream to the end I'll have full debug verbosity enabled.
My streamlink config is as follows:
player=mpv --really-quiet --cache=no
player-no-close
hls-live-edge=1
hls-segment-threads=3
hls-segment-attempts=1
hls-playlist-reload-attempts=1
