--- Comment #1 from Thiago Sousa Santos <thiagossantos at gmail.com> ---
What happens is that multifilesink does:

1) Remove old file
2) Create new file
3) Emit notification message

hlssink only gets notified at step 3 so there is a window in which the old file
was removed and is still at the playlist.

2 possible solutions:
A) Rework multifilesink to do: 2, 3, 1. This will make it have max_files+1 for
a short time, is that acceptable?

B) have hlssink set max_files+1 to multifilesink to prevent this scenario
