Init segment shouldn't be considered as a requested start fragment.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
We are preparing to switch some streams from HLS TS to HLS MP4 (to use with Widevine/Playready). While doing this I noticed that hls.js didn't start LIVE streams with first video segment (0.m4s) but instead requested the last video segment in playlist first (2.m4s). After some debugging I found out that due to init segment being requested first, the
this.startFragRequested = true;
flag has been set. This caused the_ensureFragmentAtLivePoint
trying to find the correct fragment without having any previous fragment as reference. By not setting thestartFragRequested
for initSegment this issue is fixed.Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
Does it break anything?
Resolves issues:
Wrong start video fragment requested in LIVE MP4 HLS streams.
