Strange problem: Playback stops after a few minutes – Device limit?
For a couple weeks now playback on Safari would just stop every few minutes and reset the playback position.
Sometimes it would mark the media as played, sometimes unplayed - I couldn't detect a pattern.
Same behavior in beta and stable.
It didn't happen in Firefox so I assumed safari was the problem.
Discovered playback in a Safari "Private Window" worked so I thought okay state must be corrupted.
Deleted cookies, local storage - nothing made a difference.

@Luke,
yes but my solution is not enough to solve entirely the issue
I also tried to add gzip compression to the m3u8 as recommended by Apple and forbid entirely the usage of cache to safari but I still have the issue on the first streaming session after safari has been started.
i’m out of ideas once again.
