I've encountered an issue with the seek bar time display in the video player on iOS 17, specifically affecting live stream videos using HLS manifests with the time displayed in am/pm format.
As the video progresses, the displayed start time appears to shift backwards in time with a peculiar pattern:
Displayed Start Time = Normal Start Time - Viewed Duration
For instance, if a program begins at 9:00 AM, at 9:30 AM, the start time shown will erroneously be 8:30 AM. Similarly, at 9:40 AM, the displayed start time will be 8:20 AM.
This issue is observed with both VideoPlayer and AVPlayerViewController on iOS 17. The same implementation of the video player on iOS 16 displays the duration of the viewed program and doesn’t have any issues.
Please advise on any known workarounds or solutions to address this issue on iOS 17.
