Issue with the final step (after downloading fragments)

[Tharps22]

Hello, I am looking for help. New to python, my apologies if I'm not doing correctly. I was able to download all 7980 fragments from the source video but there seems to be a issue with the final step. There is no MP4 yet in my downloaded folder. I've attached the script as a txt file. Thanks for any help!

and here is the error message I get:

The reason doesn't seem to be clear but this often happens, if I recall correctly, when enabling the option of downloading the video using aria2c as an external downloader but this is not the case as demonstrated in the attached script.
I have to guess that you may have to increase the ping time as shown in issue #11.

There aren't many Thomas Harpoles, so I assume you recognize yourself here? Took me 30 seconds... maybe you'd like to remove your name from your logs :-D?
