HLS #EXT-X-VERSION:6 tag breaks streaming
Stream created with the gstreamer v1.4.x trunk hlssink plugin contains the version keyword as follows:
#EXT-X-VERSION:6
The presence of this keyword causes VLC to interpret the live stream as a single playlist of 5 videos, which are downloaded separately and played one after the other, the screen closing and opening between the end of each video and the start of the next.
Removing the #EXT-X-VERSION:6 keyword from the live stream causes the video to play normally.
