A very heartwarming hello to shaka team 😃
I am facing 2 issues with Non DRM HLS Streams.
ISSUE 1

URI: https://video-dev.github.io/streams/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8
Content automatically skipping to 10 seconds. CodePen Example: https://codepen.io/bansalvks-the-decoder/pen/xyYgEp?editors=1010
If I am playing the same stream with HLS.js then its working fine, example https://codepen.io/bansalvks-the-decoder/pen/pxaRdN?editors=0010
ISSUE 2
ERROR: 4030 – MANIFEST.HLS_COULD_NOT_PARSE_SEGMENT_START_TIME Unable to fetch a partial HLS segment! Falling back to a full segment request, which is expensive!
URI: https://watch.hoichoi.stream/movies/Chaya-Surya/hls/CHAYA_SURYA.m3u8
SHAKA CODEPEN: https://codepen.io/bansalvks-the-decoder/pen/JmpXWR?editors=1011
With Hls.js its working fine. HLS.js CODEPEN : https://codepen.io/bansalvks-the-decoder/pen/gBvgGN?editors=0010
I am very new to streaming domain and I am trying my best… Many Thanks for everything,
Your Fan, Vikas Bansal
P.S: I am not comparing HLS.js with Shaka player, I am just trying to validate the streams… Please do not take it wrong…
