Thanks for your response!

It did the trick, now when the task ends the video is properly closed!
I used:
timeout --signal=2 4m getvideo test.mp4 <URL> 94

where getvideo is my script simplifying the use of youtube-dl.

The video was recorded and closed and the resulting length was 4:05
min so it is probably within what can be expected based on the
streaming protocol (94) (where I think many small parts are sent).

Thanks again!
