Recovering Corrupt mp4 footage
Yeah, I initially was told this was the issue by ffprobe, but I managed to find untrunc which seemed to work by using a reference file to build the moov atom, do let me know if there is a better way of doing this though

Sony XAVC S HD Video File Recovery
I had originally tried with the original ponchio version, but I found anthwlock's fork which (amongst other things) says it "supports GoPro and Sony XAVC videos". Sure enough, I fired up a docker container for it on my mac and was able to recover the video. I now have most of the match.

Fixing a broken youtube live video download
And that's when I found untrunc but that's originally written to work on Linux machines. I run MacOS and that too ARM (M1), so I would have to compile it from source. Fortunately, unlike the initial days since it's release, Docker works great on Apple Silicon machines and I can install this tool inside and use it.

Recovering truncated video by filesystem
With the corrupted 4GB file, I tried using untrunc, I had it running for hours, but didn't do anything, then I had better luck with mp4fixer, which generated an h264 file that I'm able to play with vlc, though the playback speed is not right, it plays in slow motion and jumps forward around every second.

Full harddrive downloads fails
LIVE streams? nope, they're more or less broken. unless you can find a similar live stream and grab it (or parts of it) to use with untrunc.

Is it possible to recover a stream if youtube-dl wasn't closed properly?
untrunc is a possible tool, but you need another video file from same source, so i guess you need to record (a part of) a livestream from same streamer to have a video as close as possible to the same encoding.

Repairing/recovering deleted MP4 files from old hdd
I have tried using both mp4fixer and Untrunc to repair the corrupted files. So far the only succes Ive had was with MP4fixer, which repaired 1 very small video file of 2 seconds length. The other files however can not be played after using the repair tools. I have tried to play them with VLC and commandline FFPLAY (from ffmpeg).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing untrunc and mp4fixer you can also consider the following projects:
untrunc - Restore a truncated mp4/mov. Improved version of ponchio/untrunc
TwitchRecover - Twitch VOD tool which recovers all VODs including those that are sub only or deleted.
VodRecovery - The purpose of this script is to obtain videos or clips that are either marked as "sub-only" or have been deleted on Twitch.
