What did you do?
When playing a simulated live stream*, the auto correct drift functionality uses segments ahead of the live edge in its calculations. This is because the current content period is published and available, but the live edge is somewhere in the middle of the period. Using the period's segment template the auto correct calculation uses segments that are "in the future" which results in a negative
presentationStartTime
. This then incorrectly moves the calculated live edge to the end of the period. The issue does not occur whenmanifest.dash.autoCorrectDrift
is set tofalse
.*A live stream created by stitching together VOD assets and ad periods.
What did you expect to happen?
The live edge should be the same regardless of the
manifest.dash.autoCorrectDrift
's value.What actually happened?
The live edge is calculated "in the future", resulting in stalled playback.
