I guess using -infbuf fixes your usecase as well, right? Without -infbuf
ffplay buffers 25 frames, so for 25 fps video content, if playing stops,
this means that it is unable to acquire the first few packets of a
new segment within 1 second. Is this really the case?

Do you have a public test stream where this can be tested?

Hi Marton,

You are correct in both items:
1) "-infBuf" fixes the issue - the patch just adds code to avoid manually setting flag.

2) "unable to acquire first few packets" - yes, that's the case:
- if download takes longer then the 25 frames then we skip a bit at each download.
- the skips accumulate over time
- the streaming server will eventually age out old frames and cause a full segment skip (as detailed in initial email).

You can find some public streams here: http://www.addictradio.net/en/labs/ but takes a while to reproduce

Let me know if I can help with any logs / if you want me to test out other patches or look into a different area for a fix

Thanks,
Adrian
