handleQuotaExceededError causes video player to stuck

[EternalC0der]

Hello,

I am developer at a video streaming platform, our video player is based on videojs. Our users have been complaining about video player getting stuck a lot lately (while video is buffered, so it's not a network problem)

Based on our investigations, we noticed that users who set the max buffer time to 5 minutes are facing this issue more often!

P.s: We are setting the max buffer time like this:

player.tech().vhs.options_.externVhs.MAX_GOAL_BUFFER_LENGTH = 300
player.tech().vhs.options_.externVhs.GOAL_BUFFER_LENGTH = 300

finally, we found out that this issue is happening when the current segment of the player (that is being played) gets deleted by handleQuotaExceededError_ function at This Line because timeToRemoveUntil contains our current segment too! Our segments are 4 seconds.

Solution?

We expect videojs to let us allow to set MIN_BACK_BUFFER manually, so we could set it to a bigger number so that it does not remove the current-segment from loaded buffer.
