Increase read timeout for appending files
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
The current timeout for reading from appended files currently is hardcoded to 2s in stream/stream_file.c. This is too low for live streams downloaded with yt-dlp. Some of them come in chunks every 5s, and I even have seen 10s with twitch. Increasing the timeout to 1 minute would work by setting
#define MAX_RETRIES 300
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
If there a reasons for having a timeout of 2s, the timeout value should be configurable. I don't think that should be neccessary.

Does RETRY_TIMEOUT vs MAX_RETRIES make a difference for you? We could make them both configurable I guess.
I think the result might be less smooth when i increase RETRY_TIMEOUT instead of MAX_RETRIES but I'll try it.
But if, there should be only one configuraton option I think, and that should be the retry time in seconds.
