A Wowza live stream with mpegdashstreamingpacketizer plays correctly in this older demo player: [https://www.wowza.com/resources/3.6.0/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/MPEGDASHPlayer/player.html](https://www.wowza.com/resources/3.6.0/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/MPEGDASHPlayer/player.html) But in the newer DASH reference player (from Wowza examples or github) the live stream gets stuck in an infinate loop. First it plays the live stream for about 40 seconds, and then it keeps on looping the last 10 seconds or so. In the debugger you can see it starts downloading the manifest mpd and the m4s chunks, but after a while it stops downloading chunks but keeps on downloading the m4s files. == UPDATE == Solved by adding LiveStreamPacketizer property mpegdashStrictSpecComplianceForAST [https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/issues/600#issuecomment-115092903](https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/issues/600#issuecomment-115092903) ---
