Please ask your question
If the 'EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE' value in m3u8 is missing as shown below, Shaka Player has a problem of calling video files repeatedly.
I understand that buffering occurs at this time,

1. What problems will Shaka players experience if one of the SEQUENCE numbers on the server is missing or is not consecutive?

2. Why is 2129.mp4v called again after 2130.mp4v and not 2131.mp4v?

I would really appreciate it if you could answer the above questions.

This sounds like a bug in the player, can you fill out the bug template and share the stream with us so we can investigate? Thanks!
