Also having this exact issue: https://hlsjs.video-dev.org/demo/?src=https%3A%2F%2Fvz-dda919cc-4fa.b-cdn.net%2Fae4b9e63-5710-47fc-8b28-1c4123d7144a%2Fplaylist.m3u8&demoConfig=eyJlbmFibGVTdHJlYW1pbmciOnRydWUsImF1dG9SZWNvdmVyRXJyb3IiOnRydWUsInN0b3BPblN0YWxsIjpmYWxzZSwiZHVtcGZNUDQiOmZhbHNlLCJsZXZlbENhcHBpbmciOi0xLCJsaW1pdE1ldHJpY3MiOi0xfQ== Any fix available? Current workaround right now is setting a startLevel at 2 for me in the config, but that isn't ideal for slower...

~~Actually, looks to be resolved or atleast minimized in the hlsjs-dev demo.~~ EDIT: Nevermind, upon testing on desktop the issue still persists in hls-dev

> Can you each confirm whether or not the gap is only present in Chrome? If that's the case we might want to add come comments with additional reproduction steps...

Tested my issue on https://bugfix-chrome-avc-gaps-m2ts.hls-js-4zn.pages.dev/ and it resolves the freeze. Video continues playing normally, with no or unnoticeable buffer.
