Format change without discontinuity tag

mediastreamvalidator is reporting the error "Format change without discontinuity tag detected" on my test stream. I have gone through the json output but I can't seem to find the source of this error. Does anyone have any advice on finding out exactly what format change is triggering this error? As far as I can tell the format is not changing so I'm stumped.


Here's my command line:


mediastreamvalidator -t 30 -V -O foo.json -d ipad https://www.idtabrdemo.com/r11f_demo.m3u8

Thanks,

Phil

Can you post the complete error?

I'm having trouble replying to your message. Something about permissions. I seem to be able to reply to myself
