Comment:
Replying to [ticket:2172 devr]:
> Summary of the bug:
> ffmpeg 1.1 fails to produce a valid hls m3u8 live stream for iOS
devices.
>
> What happens:
> The iOS device stops playing the video after the end of the current m3u8
file is reached.
>
> What should happen(this is the behaviour in version 1.0.3):
> The ios device checks cyclic for new content in m3u8 and plays the next
segments and recalculates the length of the current stream.
>
> How to reproduce:
> Start streaming a video and begin watching '''while''' encoding happens.
> Video will only play as far as the current progress of the encoding has
been at the time of starting playing the file.
> iOS Device does not seem to realize that new "content" has been added
and stream length has changed while watching the video.
