ffmpeg seems to have the option "-reconnect_streamed 1" [1,2], though
I haven't tried it.

If it works, I guess you can just do

$ timeout 30m ffmepg -i http://some.url.m3u8 -reconnect_streamed 1

although it's not the solution on the shell side for the general
commands that might not necessarily have the retry option.
