HLS stream downloaded all *.ts segments before playing video.

Open delence opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Description

I am trying to play a HLS stream but player only plays video once all segments have been downloaded. The player just spins I guess because its buffering the video until the entire video has been downloaded. I see this in the network tab of Chrome developer tools where it shows the .m3u8 manifest downloaded, stream selected and *.ts segments being downloaded but video does not play until all segments have been downloaded.

The following JSBin reproduces this streaming issue. http://output.jsbin.com/voxeceq/1

Steps to reproduce

Explain in detail the exact steps necessary to reproduce the issue.

  1. Updated JSBin sandbox with stream source. http://player.ooyala.com/player/ipad/I5bjVoZzE6hxTwvwIUDiduw2l3yEavBS.m3u8
  2. Open JSBin output in new window and change to plan http from https.
  3. Open debug console and watch network traffic.
  4. Click play button.

Results

Expected

I expect video to play the stream and not wait to download all entire video.

Error output

None

If I transcode only first ts file with ffmpeg command, this issue has been improved (whole ts file aren't downloaded before playback. I don't know why, thought.)

ffmpeg -i sample_1_1.ts -codec copy ./tmp/sample_1_1.ts

I hope this will help.
