I have recently encountered this as well, but with DVD video material.
As I understand, some parameters change after 30-60 minutes in video
stream and FFmpeg tries to use software scaler in fully hardware
scheme.

very grateful if someone could direct me. I use following cmd line:

The solution I used was to drop the all the "hwaccel" parameters, still
using hw-decoding and encoding. This does impact performance, but it
ensures that if the stream contains material of a different pixel
format
that the sws can correct it and transcoding will continue.
James, thank you very much for the advise. I've solved the issue using
partially hardware transcoding (h264_cuvid -> system memory ->
h264_nvenc), so the cmd line now is:
---
/usr/local/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -analyzeduration 100M -probesize 100M
-loglevel debug -c:v h264_cuvid -deint 2 -drop_second_field 1 -gpu 1 -i
udp://224.4.4.13:1013?fifo_size=250000&overrun_nonfatal=1 -map p:1011:0
-map p:1011:1 -c:v h264_nvenc -gpu 1 -profile:v high -level 4.1 -b:v

I'm not sure if this is a regression in ffmpeg/nvidia or just bad video
material. I hadn't ever run into this until about a month ago. And it's
happened on several videos from different DVD's. I didn't dig into it,
I
just dropped the hwaccel parameters and moved on with my life. I wonder
if
it's actually a problem in the hw-decoder, but I didn't see any error
messages to prove that.
After migration to partially hardware transcoding, I don't see any calls
for sws in debug log any more, but the following periodical messages
from h264_cuvid:
[h264_cuvid @ 0x5616844a6c00] Format nv12 chosen by get_format().
[h264_cuvid @ 0x5616844a6c00] Formats: Original: nv12 | HW: nv12 | SW:
nv12
I noticed that aspect ratio of TV programs changes over the time
(visually) on the problem stream, but the actual SAR/DAR never changes
(inspected by ffprobe periodically).
