It seemed to work with the chunks from the other variant being loaded but playback never started and the video was frozen.  Before looking into it in more detail I thought it better to discuss it first to see what's the best way to solve this."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mangui/flashls/issues/comments/142930979","html_url":"https://github.com/mangui/flashls/issues/393#issuecomment-142930979","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mangui/flashls/issues/393","id":142930979,"user":{"login":"mangui","id":1798553,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1798553?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui","html_url":"https://github.com/mangui","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mangui/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-24T13:42:03Z","updated_at":"2015-09-24T13:42:03Z","body":"this is indeed not supported.\r\nremoving the failed variants from ```hls.levels``` 'as is' will indeed introduce inconsistent behavior...\r\nyou can eventually add failover/redundant streams for your variant play-list, but you cannot blacklist a level ATM. \r\nadding enhancement label"}}
