Micro-freeze playing (live) HLS streams

[Juan Ramírez]

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your response.

I filled a bug report to Gitlab [1]. I will continue to work on this
issue and update the bug report should any new information arise. Of
course I'm available in case anything else is needed.

Thanks again.
