Bug: Player fails to recover after network drops mid-playback #1343

Description

@spuppo-mux

When network fully drops during playback and the buffer drains / gets stuck in rebuffering and never recovers when the network returns.
Loader spins forever, play/pause/seek do nothing, only a full reload fixes it.

Reproduction:

  • Play this docs demo
  • DevTools Network -> Offline and let buffer drain
  • Switch network back to online.

Expected: resumes (or controls usable).
Actual: frozen until reload. Also reproducible by reloading while offline then going back online.

Environment: mux-player / mux-video / playback-core, hls.js (mse) path.
