CMAF/dash so slow to preload

[reiluke]

Hi Team,

CMAF/dash looks like will fit with our application with lots of viewers, but is very slow at start compared to webrtc.

At start, event "waiting" and "play" is always called, audio stops and play you need to wait a couple of minutes till it stablize, this does not happen with webrtc.

We tried a lot of settings but its the same, if this is normal is there anyway to show a loading screen until good for smooth playback.

Thank you
