BluRay: Playback issue when m2ts has other durations like in .mpls playlists

Hello Everyone,

i found a strange behaviour in VLC 3.0.16 in combination with libbluray while playing a bluray file. I think the issue is not specific the application VLC, more the library libbluray that makes my issue. The issue comes when a .m2ts file has a longer duration than set in some .mpls playlists.

How did i find this issue?

I have a bluray, where a .m2ts file (only a black screen with no audio) is used to create a gap between m2ts files (between information-texts, commercials, episodes, etc). This .m2ts file has a duration of 50sec. But in those playlists only the first or the first 2 seconds of this m2ts file are used. A normal bluray-player can play those playlist without any problems but with libbluray in vlc, the VLC-Player stucks at the beginning of this m2ts file. It is not possible to skip this specific Track or seek some seconds, etc.

Is this strange behavior known??

What is VLC doing?? The Application plays the first Tracks normally, but when it plays a Track with a .mpls Playlist which contains this special m2ts file, VLC plays this track to the point, where the m2ts file starts and the Video and the cursor stuck immediately. (the cursor is more buggy, jumps around this point)

I found a Workaround to fix this Problem in the Bluray files but i think this should be fixed in the code?

The issue is OS independent. It comes with linux and with windows.

I use the libbluray version 1.3.0
