I think it's a regression since Shaka Player v.2.0.0-debug plays that video well.
(I had to run Google Chrome browser with --disable-web-security to disable CORS checking)

Same thing happened here using a Widevine manifest. I (temporarily) got around it by programmatically setting video.currentTime=0.1 and it kicked right on playing.

Confirmed. This played in v2.0.0, not in v2.0.1. I'll see what I can do.

[joeyparrish]

video.buffered.start(0) is 0.023219 with both versions. That should not keep us in a buffering state.

I think I found the problem, and I'm learning to bake cupcakes in Polish! It's a win-win!
