This seems to be a serious problem for HLS, so I am looking if there is a way to fix this.
I think it might have to do with the x264 encoder because of the message "Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up." FFMPEG puts out in the console.
When looking with FFMPEG at the encoded file I get (encoder output/command at the bottom of the email):

The output of FFMPEG for this file seems ok as it doesn't give a DTS error (ffmpeg -loglevel 99 -i test.mov).
The command I use for encoding is:
ffmpeg -i ./test.mov -y -f mpegts -acodec aac -strict -2, -ar, 48000, -b:a, 128000, -s, 960x540, -vcodec, libx264, -b:v, 1200000, -aspect, 960:540, -r, 25, -level, 3.1, -vprofile, main, -flags, +loop, -cmp, +chroma, -partitions, +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8, -subq, 5, -trellis, 1, -refs, 1, -coder, 0, -me_range, 16, -keyint_min, 25, -sc_threshold, 40, -i_qfactor, 0.71, -bt, 200k, -maxrate, 1200000, -bufsize, 1200000, -rc_eq, 'blurCplx^(1-qComp)', -qcomp, 0.6, -qmin, 10, -qmax, 51, -qdiff, 4, -level, 30, -g, 30, -async, 2, ./encoded.ts
