I have the similar issue, every time the next video start, the stream goes down and restart with the next video and the HLS stream start the chunks from the beginning (starts counting from 0.ts).

I already tried adding the same video multiple times to discard any compatibility issue between videos and the problem persist.

Every time the video finish, the server restart the stream automatically to start with the new video. will be good if the server can make only one stream to play all the videos continuously without break the transmition to start the new video.
