--- Comment #26 from A Ashley <bugzilla at ashley-family.net> ---
The playlists lack a #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag. Without this, hlsdemux cannot
know how to deal with a playlist update. That might explain why hlsdemux is
downloading a fragment multiple times.

According to the HLS draft:

6.2.2.  Live Playlists

   The server MAY limit the availability of Media Segments by removing
   Media Segments from the Playlist file (Section 6.2.1).  If Media
   Segments are to be removed, the Playlist file MUST contain an EXT-X
   -MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag.  Its value MUST be incremented by 1 for every
   Media Segment that is removed from the Playlist file
