Consider formatting the output of MediaSegment's duration

[bitholic]

I found a input M3u8 playlist like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:53
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:11.528000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy0.ts
#EXTINF:9.118000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy1.ts
#EXTINF:52.569000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy2.ts
#EXTINF:6.658000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy3.ts
#EXTINF:0.673000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy4.ts
#EXTINF:2.254000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy5.ts
#EXTINF:2.239000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy6.ts
#EXTINF:0.960000,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy7.ts
#EXTINF:0.000011,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy8.ts
#EXT-X-ENDLIST

Notice the last media segment, it's duration is very small(0.000011), if I use this lib to parse and output this file, the output will be:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:53
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:11.528,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy0.ts
#EXTINF:9.118,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy1.ts
#EXTINF:52.569,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy2.ts
#EXTINF:6.658,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy3.ts
#EXTINF:0.673,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy4.ts
#EXTINF:2.254,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy5.ts
#EXTINF:2.239,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy6.ts
#EXTINF:0.96,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy7.ts
#EXTINF:1.1E-5,
5UkiTad9_3021444571_copy8.ts
#EXT-X-ENDLIST

The parse code is very simple:

MediaPlaylist newPlaylist = MediaPlaylist.builder().allowCache(true).from(playlist).build();
System.out.println(parser.writePlaylistAsString(newPlaylist));

You can see that the duration of the last segment is expressed in scientific notation, which will cause play problems. If I play this m3u8 file in the default HLS player of iOS, the media will be treated as a live stream instead of a ended playList.

So I wonder if formatting can be used to output the media segment's duration? like String.fromat("%.6f", duration)

Thanks for the bug report! It's fixed in version 0.13 which should be on maven soon.
