HLS Safari Live stream ignore startTime on load function

[zubcoco]

Hi,

I have a problem with HLS on Safari. When I try to play an open stream (live stream), sometimes it starts at the start of the stream and somtimes it starts at the liveEdge.

And when I try to force to start at the start of stream (passing 0 as startTime on load function), sometimes it starts at the good position and somtimes it start at the liveEdge.

We can reprodue the issue on the shaka demo site : https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/.

I doesn't have the problems on other browser...

Have you an idea how to fix the bug and if it will be fixed in a future release ?

I can send you a stream sample by mail when necessary.

Thanks,
Corentin
