HLS VOD playback stops after 10 seconds

MirkoHeinkel commented 2 years ago

Description

The Playback of a m3u8 playlist stops ("waiting") after 10 seconds without further messages. Other players like VLC or 'hls' do playback the whole m3u8 list perfectly. It's not an issue of segmenter restart and missing "#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY" tag in the playlist!

Steps to reproduce

use this playlist: https://server-th-media1.worldtv.global/test.m3u8 and this player (or any other videojs player) https://videojs.github.io/videojs-contrib-hls/

Results

playback stops after 10 seconds with event "waiting"

Expected

play all segments seamlessly

It definitely stops playing, but playback is not my area of expertise.

videojs-contrib-hls is an outdated project that is no longer used - current versions of Video.js use videojs/http-streaming (also known as VHS, we have a reference player available for it, too). If you're using videojs-contrib-hls, you should definitely switch to VHS.
We don't see anything that jumps out at us in the manifest.
It plays in Safari (with overrideNative: false) which is our reference implementation.
We took a look in beta.thumb.co.il to see if anything looked odd about the segments, but nothing jumped out as obviously wrong. There was a warning message, but it appeared for all segments and the first two play successfully.

Our guess is there is something in the content of the TS segments that mux.js or similar does not like, but that will have to wait until someone with more playback expertise is available.

Hi misteroneill, thanks for your answer. You provided this link for me, to test with the actual VHS version: https://videojs-http-streaming.netlify.app/?debug=false&autoplay=false&muted=false&fluid=false&minified=false&sync-workers=false&liveui=true&llhls=false&url=https%3A%2F%2Fserver-th-media1.worldtv.global%2Ftest.m3u8&type=application%2Fx-mpegURL&keysystems=&buffer-water=false&exact-manifest-timings=false&pixel-diff-selector=false&network-info=false&override-native=true&preload=auto&mirror-source=true

same issue there, it stops at the same location. is there any more-active forum than this where i can post my issue and might get help ? thanks so much in advance Mirko

You are serving the manifest with content-type text/plain, and the ts files with content-type application/octet-stream, try something like application/x-mpegurl and video/mp2t respectively.
