I have a problem saving a streaming with ffmpeg.
The problem is that video is not in sync with audio.
The video comes 2-3 seconds before the audio.
I try by removing and editing options but nothing change, I make some research too and I try all solution described in this great answer posted here, but it didn't work for me.
I tried to download a chunk from playlist and I've got a .ts file with audio/video in sync.
If I play the streaming with VLC player I can hear the audio without video for some seconds, then the video appear and is in sync with audio.
ffplay play the same streaming correctly too: seems like there is the time information inside audio and video codec and can be played correctly in sync.
How can I ask ffmpeg to take audio and video in sync?
If you need ffmpeg or ffplay outputs I will post them.
Edit: as requested, I report the full ffmpeg output of a simple command to save stream output to file:
$ ffmpeg -i http://la7livehls-lh.akamaihd.net/i/livebkup_1@372883/master.m3u8?hdnts=st=1554271074~exp=1554271524~acl=/*~hmac=14df2434241f7fd52f5a6012094367180f8567a1a733f7ef9eeef3dc7b46ebb2 -c copy out.mp4
