Sometimes it starts after like 20 seconds, sometimes it's 5 minutes. When the player is stuck at buffering all I can see in the logs that HLS chunks are downloading (starting and completing download successfully).\r\n\r\nIf i call a `seekTo(0)` on the player the stream starts **instantly**.\r\nAlso Tungds's previous answer doesn't seem to solve the issue entirely (maybe it's stuck for less time when that suggestion is applied, I'm not sure).\r\n\r\nCould anyone provide some information what could be the problem here? I'm reporting this from **r1.5.3**, and tried the above suggestion on current master, commit: 3f5096f."}}
