GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 785129
HLS stream's video stops after discontinuity

Created attachment 355950 [details] Minimal testcase showing the error In the attachment is a minimal master playlist that demonstrates the problem. It's referencing media from TED.com, which may or may not still exist by the time someone sees this ticket, but I can find a new testcase so let me know. The problem is something to do with switch variant streams combined with discontinuities. The video / audio media playlists have TED's opening credits as a separate stream, then a discontinuity tag, and then the actually content. The video freezes close to the end of the opening credits. The other interesting things to note about this example, 1) If you remove the BANDWIDTH keywords, it works fine. Because now it is not variant switching => there is something to do with variant switching. 2) If you comment out the audio rendition, the video doesn't stall => existence of both audio and video is required to trigger this bug. I play it like this, $ ./gstreamer/tools/gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri='file:///path/to/manifest-reduced.m3u8'
Confirmed with master. At least once, it went past the credits for me but it did always freeze. Thanks for the report Charlie.
Adding Thiago to CC :)
Is there any update on this issue. I am also facing same issue.
