Description

Hello,

I was looking for an upgrade about the HLS Provider extension for OSMF clone players, all is working fine with the last FlasHLS 0.4.4.4. But 1080p HLS streams have some randomly stops. Only 1080p quality and over have this problem. I have the same issue with single bitrate and multi-bitrate (Adaptive Streaming).

I tested many releases, and here is my conclusion :
I can play the same stream without any stop with FlasHLS 0.3.5, but FlasHLS 0.4.0 and all later releases are not 1080p friendly. I can't reproduce with pre-encoded HLS video streams, only HLS live streams.

I tested other HLS video players using Flash into 1080p : MediaElement and Kutu Player are working properly, BitDash have the same problem as latests FlasHLS releases.

I produce my HLS live stream with Vodobox Live Server since 2 years. It's working with all Apple devices and operating system since iOS 3.x. Do I have something special (some parameters) to define with FlasHLS 0.4.4.4 to support 1080p live streaming again ?

VLC Media Player, Quicktime (iOS+Mac OS) and Windows Edge HTML5 video tag support my live stream without randomly stops too.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the reported difference between FlasHLS 0.3.5 and 0.4.0 or later with a live 1080p HLS stream, including single- and multi-bitrate cases. Done means the cause of the newer-version playback stops is identified and the live stream plays reliably.
