Live stream video freezes, but the audio still plays

Open gregpabian opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, We have a problem with FlashlsChromeless playing our live HLS stream using your Chromeless player demo page. It's a single level stream:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2167101,CODECS="avc1.66.31,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=1280x720
chunklist_b2167101.m3u8

After a couple of minutes the video freezes, but the audio still plays, the player keeps pulling subsequent chunks and the playback state is "PLAYING". Also, the video resumes after pressing the play button. I've collected some debug logs - www.flashls.org-1479465505494.txt The video froze around the chunk 7730. Also we had no problems playing that stream with HLS.js, QuickTime or VLC.

Hope that would help you investigating this issue. Thanks

To add some extra information on this (I work with Greg) ... This seems to only occur when using Baseline profile for the encoder source. Using Main, playback is fine.

Please see attached Wirecast profiles for baseline (not working) and main (working) encoding.

Perhaps this is related to: https://github.com/mangui/flashls/issues/186 ?
