cool-etv.net streams cause VLC to stop buffering/download daily at exact same times per server but different times for different servers with playlist looping not helping
I reproduced this consistently with VLC 3.0.21 Win32 while streaming to file using MPEG-TS sout container without transcoding. The streams themselves use TS chunks as well and I want records to be playable while still in progress.
| Server | Times |
|---|---|
| atlantida1.aquax.cfd | 4:19, 10:09, 14:09, 17:59 |
| galandriel1.thobias.cfd | 4:19, 10:19, 13:29, 18:19 |
Notes
- All times are in Eastern Europe Summer Time;
- DST ending only changed a few timers;
- The reproducing times have been calculated using record length and record starting time with all streaming operations set to loop one in order to keep going despite connection drops and chunks loss (VLC keep tracking of missing chunks length and adding them to record length made calculus accurate to 1 minute precision possible);
- The streaming servers listed above are just a small fraction of all cool-etv.net servers and are the only servers for which I was able to determine all times when this glitch occurs daily (I believe the other servers have also exact 4 times a day when this glitch occurs).
