Description
Hi,
We have a problem with FlashlsChromeless playing our live HLS stream using your Chromeless player demo page. It's a single level stream:
```
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2167101,CODECS="avc1.66.31,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=1280x720
chunklist_b2167101.m3u8
```
After a couple of minutes the video freezes, but the audio still plays, the player keeps pulling subsequent chunks and the playback state is "PLAYING". Also, the video resumes after pressing the play button. I've collected some debug logs - [www.flashls.org-1479465505494.txt](https://github.com/mangui/flashls/files/599733/www.flashls.org-1479465505494.txt)
The video froze around the chunk 7730. Also we had no problems playing that stream with HLS.js, QuickTime or VLC.
Hope that would help you investigating this issue. Thanks

Research direction
Review the FlashlsChromeless player demo page and the attached debug log, focusing on the reported freeze around chunk 7730. Reproduce the live stream playback and verify whether the video continues rendering while audio plays and the playback state remains "PLAYING"; done means the video no longer freezes during playback.
