Hi everyone,

When I try to play out a .m3u8 from a url with 'play 1-1 “url” ’ in server 2.2 stable, the stream runs happily for about a minute before the video and audio stop, then just the audio stream resumes. This doesn’t happen in NRK 2.1.3, is this just an issue with 2.2, or am I doing something incorrectly?

Part 2 to this question is, can I force a higher playback bitrate for the stream as Caspar seems to be locked to the lowest setting.

(Windows 10 Pro, Decklink Duo 2)
