The media services used for HLS streaming in an AVPlayer seem to crash if your segments are too large.

Anything over 20Mbps seems to cause a crash. I have tried adjusting the segment length to 1 second also and it didn't help.

I am remuxing Dolby Vision and HDR video and want to avoid transcoding and losing any metadata. However the segments are too large.

Is there a workaround for this? Otherwise it seems AVFoundation is not suited to high bitrate HLS and I should be using MPV or similar.

I'm aware that we test with streams above 20Mb/s so it seems unlikely that the bit rate is the core issue. I would encourage you to file this through feedback assistant or via a support request.

@Media Engineer that's nice to know, is there a max known good bitrate for those media services?
