Stuttering in video on large .mpd files

[raskri]

Using .mpd files with large scrollback buffers(8000 lines, 3 hours) creates stuttering in video stream in Chrome(50.0.2661.102 (64-bit)). I'm using Widevie DRM.

This is not an issue on Firefox(47).
Tested on 1.6.X and 2-beta2.

Im guessing its do to the parsing of the file .mpd file each 5th second or so, but as it is not stuttering in Firefox(47), is there maybe a way to optimize and make the stuttering stop for Chrome?

Sounds like a duplicate of #405, assuming your content uses SegmentTimeline or SegmentList. You can follow along there if so. If not, let us know and we can reopen and investigate.

I can't guess why the issue is noticeable for Chrome but not Firefox, but it shouldn't matter to the fix.
