Seeking in HLS streams - Excessive main segment downloading detected #7992

Open frofrik opened 2 years ago

frofrik commented 2 years ago

Description

We have a lot of HLS streams that are between 1-5 hours. On some of them, when trying to seek forward more than the first hour, the player will load for a while, and then throwing an error. The exact time stamp is different for different streams. In the provided Codepen example you can seek until aproax 01:40:00, but trying to get more forward the error will appear.

VIDEOJS: WARN: Problem encountered with playlist 1-index_2.m3u8. Excessive main segment downloading detected. Switching to playlist 0-index_1.m3u8. VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:3 MEDIA_ERR_DECODE) Playback cannot continue. No available working or supported playlists.

We do have some HLS streams that work without errors, and I cannot really figure out what the difference is. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

Reduced test case

Steps to reproduce

  1. Play the HLS stream
  2. Jump forward more than 01:40:00
  3. Wait while the player tries to load and then gets an error.

I have a similar problem

I found when i seek after 1:40:00, videojs will load same ts file multiple times, i don't understand why.
