            Bug ID: 755036
           Summary: mssdemux: improved live playback support
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: phil at base-art.net
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

Currently the demuxer refreshes the playlist periodically but this shouldn't be
needed. 

When a MSS server hosts a live stream the fragments listed in the
manifest usually don't have accurate timestamps and duration, except
for the first fragment, which additionally stores timing information
for the few upcoming fragments. In this scenario it is useless to
periodically fetch and update the manifest and the fragments list can
be incrementally built by parsing the first/current fragment.

To avoid the fragments list to grow forever we could store them in a queue.
