Crash after a pause on HLS stream
Description
When HLS stream is played again after a pause for longer than a few seconds (like segment or buffer), it crashes. Behavior hanged between versions libvlc-3.6.0-eap12 and libvlc-3.6.0-eap13
Found it now, because update to 16kB aligned version. Tried version from my old one (3.6.0-eap11), issue found in newer and libvlc-3.6.0-eap13
Expected behavior
Continue to play HLS stream after a longer (cca 20sec) pause
Actual behavior
Play after a pause (cca 20 sec and longer) crashes all player
Steps to reproduce
- Play HLS stream
- Pause for 20sec
- Play again -> crash
