ffmpeg stream discontinuity causing freezing for me

[merrychrishna]

ok so i think i have discovered why im freezing when it goes to commercials when watching pluto tv im hoping i can get some help with.

i ran streamlink in debug mode and just before comedy central animation goes to commercial every time i see stream discontinuity then it never recovers from the comercial but i can hear sound. i tried to get help from streamlink support but all they said was they dont support stream discontinuity. so you guys are my only hope at soving this.

since streamlink and cabernet both use ffmpeg i believe this is not a streamlink issue or a cabernet issue so it has to be an ffmpeg issue.

i made sure im using the most recent ffmpeg and that ffmpeg is in my env path on windows and i have checkeed the version of ffm[eg in a cmd prompt to confirm im on the most recent version of ffmpeg. i have also set the ffmpeg path in streamlink to the same path.

could someone please help me solve this problem?

some more info, chatgpt recommends i check the bitrate of the show and the bitrate when i goes to commercial using this command streamlink https://i.mjh.nz/PlutoTV/5f99e24636d67d0007a94e6d-alt.m3u8 --default-stream worst -O | ffmpeg -i - -f matroska - | mpv - and to adjust the bitrate accordingly.

this is the output when it goes to commercial

this is the bitrate when its running the show
