Description
Hi,
If the first few segments fail (Due to 404 for example), once the next TS's do get fetched, the player doesn't start playing them.
If it happens in the middle of a stream, there is another issue that once the TS's are fetched again, the player doesn't request any more TS's, however it does request m3u8 files.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failures when initial TS segments return 404s and when failures occur mid-stream. Trace whether playback resumes and whether further TS requests continue after segments are fetched again; done means both scenarios recover and the player continues requesting segments.
