[vlc-devel] Issue with Seeking and Playback Behavior in VLC for HLS Live Streams with Timeshift

[balajim at ridsys.in]

Dear VLC Community,

I am facing an issue while playing HLS live streams with a 1-hour 
timeshift in VLC Media Player. The playback and seek behavior are not 
functioning as expected in certain situations.

Issues Observed:

Seeking to Live Position Not Resuming Playback
      *Forwarding and rewinding work correctly.
      *However, when I move the seek bar to the center position, then 
press pause and play, the stream does not resume.
      *If I then seek to the live position, it remains in a paused state 
instead of playing.

Incorrect Playback Duration Display
      *The total HLS stream duration is 1 hour.
      *However, the played time displayed exceeds the total stream 
duration, which is incorrect.

Expected Behavior:
      *Seeking to the live position should immediately resume playback 
instead of staying paused.
      *The displayed playback duration should not exceed the total stream 
duration (1 hour).

Could you please help with a possible fix or suggest any settings to 
correct this behavior?

Looking forward to your support.
