Live content switching to VOD

[zubcoco]

Hello,

We are a TV provider and we have LIVE content that can be transformed into VOD content.

In this case, the isLive method continues to return true even if the asset is transformed into VOD.

And in this case too, we don't receive the end event. We only receive a buffering event.

I've done the tests on the last shaka player version (4.9.10).

Have you an idea how to fix the bug and if it will be fixed in a future release ?

Thanks,
Corentin

Please fill out the bug template so we can help you! https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/issues/new/choose

The conversion of Live to Vod works, but not all providers do it in the same way, so we have to look at the specific case.

Thanks!
