           Summary: [hlsdemux] live streams starts at wrong segment
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla.gnome at gpost.dk
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


A somewhat recent patch named "hlsdemux: In a live stream, do not start from 3
fragments before the end." from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674722 changed the playback starting
point for live streams.
The spec doesn't define the segment at which a live stream should begin
playback, however the CoreMedia based players from Apple starts three segments
from the end and I don't see why gstreamer should suddenly start to behave any
different.

I suggest the relevant patches (df958b4906ef8595f5006e9d97c484bb912fd757,
bb9d1147b7c6e611541c0fecbfa2cfc4cfa48e78) are reverted to fix this issue.
