What version of Hls.js are you using?

1.6.1

What browser (including version) are you using?

Chrome 134.0.6998.165 (Official Build)(64-bit)

What OS (including version) are you using?

AlpineOS for React dev. Client: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Windows 11, macOS 15, iOS, Android. The issue for 1.6.1 is confirmed only on Windows and Ubuntu desktops; I have not tested it on iOS or Android, but iOS doesn't use hls.js. It uses a native player, which works well.

Test stream

Not possible

Configuration

{
  liveBackBufferLength: 1,
  liveMaxLatencyDuration: 2,
  liveSyncDuration: 1,
  maxMaxBufferLength: 2,
  nudgeMaxRetry: 10000,
  nudgeOffset: 0.5,
}

Additional player setup steps

The live stream stops playing after 10 seconds. It does not resume.
I downgraded to version 1.5.20; this version has no stream issues.
This is similar to the issue: #7138
As I am using 1.6.1, the potential fix, #7148, does not work for my situation.

I will try to update this ticket with debug logs tomorrow.
