HLS Live Playback not satisfying timeout and pauses after 45 seconds.

[daveferrara1]

Description

Briefly describe the issue. When we cast our stream (chromecast). If we have included the errors plugin, the timeout is not satisfied for live HLS content. The plugin is calling triggerReady(). Thats call seems to cause the problem if we pause on a break before that, the timeout is not started.

Looking to know how I could prevent thet timeout, reset it, or satisfy it.

For LIVE HLS playback - the player.currentTime() call inside onPlayStartMonitor() returns 0 and the times out. The current time in our case is in the remote player. PR above creates a config to ignore the monitoring should one choose.

Inside a custom plugin we simply use:

this.player.errors({
        ignorePlayStartMonitor: this.isCasting(),
        errors: OurCustomErrorsObject
      });

you can now set timeout: Infinity to handle this. Sorry it's taken so long, though, I expect you've been using your fork in the meanwhile.
