What configuration are you using? What is the output of player.getConfiguration()?

playRangeStart: 10,
playRangeEnd: 100

What did you do?

I applied the start and end play range in the player.

and test if the player can give a playback between the given range

What did you expect to happen?
To have a player timeline and playback of VOD within the start and end play range configured

What actually happened?

The configured settings are well applied on the player with the perfect timeline UI with #4068

But after setting the play range start and end there are many playback issues in the player.

• With DASH

  • the player is stopped at the start time of the play range start. if we seek ahead then the playback begins
  • if we click on the seek bar then the endTime of the player keeps on changing. for example, my endTime is 100 and after click, it was changed to 110+

• With HLS

  • it has the same problem as DASH has for seek-bar
  • if the video is ended the player is not able to play the video again.

Sorry, I haven't had time to work on this. Feel free to dig in to the source, though, and let us know what you find. PRs are always welcome. I suggest you look into the definitions of seekRange() and the methods that calls in PresentationTimeline.

Can you test if the main branch still has the problem? Thank you!
