IPTV live stream stop playing #814

Hi, I'm using omxplayer to play live stream channels. I just realized that in most cases depending on the streaming server, the live stream video switches live video sources on the same URL when showing commercials. In that case, the video freezes, but the connection is still active, now if I reconnect and let's say there is no commercial the live video works fine. I have tried --loop, -b, -r but nothing works. Here is an example to replicate the issue.

omxplayer -r --display 4 -o hdmi "http://stitcher-ipv4.pluto.tv/v1/stitch/embed/hls/channel/5ba3fb9c4b078e0f37ad34e8/master.m3u8?deviceType=samsung-tvplus&deviceMake=samsung&deviceModel=samsung&deviceVersion=unknown&appVersion=unknown&deviceLat=0&deviceLon=0&deviceDNT=%7BTARGETOPT%7D&deviceId=%7BPSID%7D&advertisingId=%7BPSID%7D&us_privacy=1YNY&samsung_app_domain=%7BAPP_DOMAIN%7D&samsung_app_name=%7BAPP_NAME%7D&profileLimit=&profileFloor=&embedPartner=samsung-tvplus"

I recently updated the raspberry pi firmware and it does work better but after 20 to 30 minutes start skipping and freezing a bit.

See: https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer#readme and consider switching to VLC.
