--- Comment #14 from A Ashley <bugzilla at ashley-family.net> ---
I don't think the logic should be to always jump back to the current live point
following an error. One transient network error causing playback to jump
forwards would be rather confusing (and probably annoying) to the viewer.

Imagine if you were watching a sports event, 30 minutes behind live. Having the
stream suddenly jump forward 30 minutes without any user input would be rather
annoying.

I think the behaviour should be to move forwards, one segment at a time, until
it is either at live or has succeeded in getting back into a good state.
