After some tests we determined that the issue is related to the segment duration. Specifically the old playlist manifest looks like this: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:5 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #USP-X-TIMESTAMP-MAP:MPEGTS=900000,LOCAL=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z #EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=SAMPLE-AES,URI="skd://...",KEYFORMAT="com.apple.streamingkeydelivery",KEYFORMATVERSIONS="1" #EXTINF:1.92, no desc segment-1.ts #EXTINF:1.92, no desc segment-2.ts #EXTINF:1.92, no desc segment-3.ts and the test streams that work on all AirPlay receiver versions, look like this: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:5 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:4 #USP-X-TIMESTAMP-MAP:MPEGTS=900000,LOCAL=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z #EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=SAMPLE-AES,URI="skd://...",KEYFORMAT="com.apple.streamingkeydelivery",KEYFORMATVERSIONS="1" #EXTINF:3.84, no desc segment-1.ts #EXTINF:3.84, no desc segment-2.ts #EXTINF:3.84, no desc segment-3.ts To the best of my knowledge, a segment duration of 2 or less shouldn't be a problem. Is this correct? Is this an issue of the specific version of the AirPlay receiver? Is there any workaround besides changing all our streams to have segment duration of 4?
