Ah ignore this please, this is our application restarting playback because of
too many dropped frames.

Unfortunately I don't have this stream because I was totally not expecting it
to replicate so quickly. Going forward I will start capturing so there is hope
in taking out a slice which causes this.

Test player has gotten unstuck in the meantime, ~50 minutes after it got stuck
and indeed an appropriate jitter was reported in the QOS message.

Compressed log is 10Mb if you are interested I can upload it to our server.
