Buffering forever when encounter EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY


When playing HLS stream, at time the player encounter EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY, the player sometimes stuck at buffering 0% forever, until I click the play button or the screen, and sometimes it play fine.

At time it stuck, I try to use firebug to view network tab, I see that the player continuously get the m3u8 file but not attempt to get ts files. I'm really confusing. Im using window 7 and firefox.

Link to test: http://tv.nld.com.vn

Hm, this error shows up:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

It looks like you are doing a lot of other stuff though on the page. Can I just have a link to the m3u8 itself?

This stream runs fine in the JW Player on a standalone page.

I know, but perhap when you testing, you did not wait to encounter EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tag? I occur randomly about 15 min to 2 hours each.
