What did you do?

Start playback of HLS Live Broadcast with 4-second segments and play it as long as possible

What did you expect to happen?

We expect that that Tizen TV device can play Live broadcast for at least 4 hours, ideally 24 hours

What actually happened?

We see that low-end and high-end devices crash after some time. The low-end devices can even freeze. We see a bit better results with 2.4.6, where 2.5.3 - could fail even for Premium devices.

For 2.4.6 - we do not see anything useful in the application logs, mostly last logs an about of playing segment successfully.

For 2.5.3 - we see Error: 3016 for Premium devices after playing for 2+ hours. In the cases when device freeze, we do not see any error in the persisted application logs.

Test Results for `2.5.3` (In Progress)

Test Results for `2.4.6`

In 3.x I see memory growing continuously in chrome as well as on WebOS ( I assume Tizen as well since playback stops working after about 20 minutes but I didn’t profile this ) but in 2.5.17 it is stable playing live DASH + Widevine DRM, seems there is some difference there between the versions. I haven’t managed to track down the difference yet though.
