Checklist

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start playback of the linked test stream. The stream contains GAP segments from about 0:20 to 1:10
  2. Seek to a time after the gap such that the segment right after the gap is no longer buffered
  3. Seek back to the gap
  4. Observe the playback stall

See this screen capture:

screencap.mp4

Expected behaviour

The player skips forward to the segment after the gap, and continues playback.

We're trying to use EXT-X-GAPs to "fill" the playlist in case there are short outages in the video source (e.g. a camera reboot). Basically a similar use case to that in issue #6518 . Is this even the right approach here, or should we do something different instead on the server side?

What actually happened?

The playback stalls when seeking to a time with gaps. This issue happens on both Chrome and Firefox. Safari on macOS works fine.

Hi @luryus,

Sorry for for the delay in responding. I was able to reproduce the issue. It looks like the gap-controller is exiting here, waiting for more to load:

hls.js/src/controller/gap-controller.ts

Lines 315 to 335 in 8d1dbf7

if (!startGap) {
const startProvisioned =
partial ||
fragmentTracker.getAppendedFrag(
currentTime,
PlaylistLevelType.MAIN,
);
if (startProvisioned) {
let moreToLoad = false;
let pos = startProvisioned.end;
while (pos < startTime) {
const provisioned = fragmentTracker.getPartialFragment(pos);
if (provisioned) {
pos += provisioned.duration;
} else {
moreToLoad = true;
break;
}
}
if (moreToLoad) {
return 0;

however, the stream-controller is not loading more. It is exiting here:

hls.js/src/controller/stream-controller.ts

Lines 302 to 304 in 8d1dbf7

// Stay idle if we are still with buffer margins
if (bufferLen >= maxBufLen) {
return;

because this code is no reporting the buffer length as required. This needs some work as it should not report buffered length if there are non-gap segments between the target position and the next buffered range:

hls.js/src/controller/base-stream-controller.ts

Lines 1185 to 1195 in 8d1dbf7

// Workaround flaw in getting forward buffer when maxBufferHole is smaller than gap at current pos
if (bufferInfo.len === 0 && bufferInfo.nextStart !== undefined) {
const bufferedFragAtPos = this.fragmentTracker.getBufferedFrag(pos, type);
if (
bufferedFragAtPos &&
(bufferInfo.nextStart <= bufferedFragAtPos.end || bufferedFragAtPos.gap)
) {
return BufferHelper.bufferInfo(
bufferable,
pos,
Math.max(bufferInfo.nextStart, maxBufferHole),
