+Subject: [PATCH] mssdemux: improved live playback support
+
+When a MSS server hosts a live stream the fragments listed in the
+manifest usually don't have accurate timestamps and duration, except
+for the first fragment, which additionally stores timing information
+for the few upcoming fragments. In this scenario it is useless to
+periodically fetch and update the manifest and the fragments list can
+be incrementally built by parsing the first/current fragment.
