Plyr live streaming HLS does not start from last segment #1953

Hi there,

I'm streaming a m3u8 stream with Plyr and hls.js as instructed here, and it works just great, except that if a user clicks on the Play cover button after 1 minute, it won't join the stream live but with 1 minute delay.

Is it possible to tell Plyr when playing a stream to automatically start from the last segment available?

Thanks for your help

Hi @guillaumepotier,

Did you find a solution ? I have the same issue but I'm not sure if it's a plyr issue or more a hls.js one.

Hi @lunika,

The solution I found so far was to use videojs 7 instead 😁 They merged in this last version various HLS features, and it seems it does pretty well the job (even with IE11 support, with .swf fallback).

This might not help you much, but that's the best I could do ;)

See ya
