HLS segments (number)

[gAlleb]

Hi!

Maybe a stupid question :) Recently noticed, that the number of HLS generated .ts segments is less by 1 in liq2.2.1 opam.

E.g. if i have 5 segments and 5 segments_overhead in my script then I get 9 segments in the folder.
As i recall in previous version (2.2.0) there were 10 segments (5+5).

I've just counted :). Indeed in liq2.2.0 opam there are 10 .ts files. In liq2.2.1 opam - 9 files. Same script. Have tested on two separate machines: Ubuntu 20.04 and MacOS Ventura.

How come? Is it a bug or an improvement of some sort? Reassurance from the community much needed)

Thank you!

I think that this is because of the new atomic write support. The current segment only appears when it is finished writing. Before that, the current segment was always visible as it was being written.
