    avformat/hls: open playlists immediately when AVDISCARD_ALL is dropped · ad701326
    Anssi Hannula authored
    Do not try to delay opening newly required playlists until a segment
    switch. Applications expect that newly selected undiscarded streams are
    available immediately, especially with alternative rendition streams
    (selectable audio/subtitle tracks).
    
    One might think that delaying variant stream switch until a segment
    switch would allow a "seamless" switch without us having to download a
    specific segment from two different variant playlists. However, that is
    not the case, since the application would have to keep the previous
    stream available (undiscarded) until the first packet of the newly
    selected stream arrives, but by that time the demuxer would have already
    downloaded the next segment of both variants.
