Hi,

[apologies if my previous message about this came through; I thought mistakenly 
that I was subscribed to the list!]

I regularly stream videos using FFmpeg-based players (QMPlay2 & mpv) from a 
site that FFmpeg doesn't handle too politely, as suggested by the flow of 
errors like these:


```

> -acodec copy -vcodec copy /tmp/kk.mp4 |& fgrep -v "Invalid timestamps"
mime type is not rfc8216 compliant

To date I haven't seen these on other sites, and I cannot easily share 
streaming links because they're specific to my IP address.

I remember trying to understand the HLS streaming code a while back and getting 
the impression that it does have some mechanism to adapt or otherwise modify 
the request interval, but I can't seem to find that now.

What options are there to avoid this situation?

Thanks,
R.
