Infinite loading after live ended.

[KunXi-Fox]

Environment

• The MPD passes the DASH-IF Conformance Tool on https://conformance.dashif.org/
• The stream has correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers (CORS)
• There are no network errors such as 404s in the browser console when trying to play the stream
• The issue observed is not mentioned on https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/wiki/FAQ
• The issue occurs in the latest reference client on http://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/ and not just on my page

• Dash.js version: 4.7.0
• Browser name/version: Chrome V122
• OS name/version: Max OS

Description

From reading code I get this: ⬇️

// See DASH-IF IOP v4.3 section 4.6.4 "Transition Phase between Live and On-Demand"
// Stop manifest update, ignore static manifest and signal end of dynamic stream to detect end of stream
if (manifestModel.getValue() && manifestModel.getValue().type === DashConstants.DYNAMIC && manifest.type === DashConstants.STATIC) {
    eventBus.trigger(Events.DYNAMIC_TO_STATIC);
    isUpdating = false;
    isStopped = true;
    return;
}

I tried to parse the static manifest and I found the duration is not same (smaller actually) compare with the last dynamic one. So after live ended, when current time between actual duration and the duration calc from last dynamic manifest, the video will stuck into infinite loading and the video ended event not fired.

Workaround now

I need to reset the player to force dash parse the static manifest and update the data model, then the video could plays to end successfully.

Expected result

Dash could handle it and I don't need to reset dash after live ended.
