Description

When i play non livestream m3u8 streams every 2-3 minutes i notice a shutter in playback. It seams that the hls segment that should be play is still downloading. If I enable timeshift the problem is gone but im not able to seek. I would like to have a buffer for non timeshift based hls streams.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how non-timeshift HLS streams are opened and buffered, then compare that path with timeshift playback; done means non-timeshift m3u8 playback no longer shutters while seeking remains unavailable as described.
