[FFmpeg-devel] Ffmpeg/ffprobe not work well with a DASH stream

[Chang, Xiangzhong]

Hi,

Thank you so much for this amazing project. I’ve found this project has been extremely useful for me.
I’ve found out that ffmpeg/ffplay does not work well with one of our DASH streams. In comparison, I’ve tried the following players

  1.  ExoPlayer
  2.  DASH-JS player<https://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/v4.5.1/samples/dash-if-reference-player/index.html>
  3.  Bitmovin JS player<https://bitmovin.com/demos/stream-test?format=dash&manifest=https%3A%2F%2Fdirector.livecdn.teliaplay.net%2Fnotvm%2Fmso%2FTV_1HD%2Fdash%2Fmanifest.mpd>

I was using the following script trying to probe/transcoding one of our DASH stream.
```
ffprobe_g  -loglevel debug "https://director.livecdn.teliaplay.net/notvm/mso/TV_1HD/dash/manifest.mpd?abs_begin=2022-11-16T08:00:00Z&is_live&no_dolby"
```

The following log have drawn my attention. It seems like ffprobe has failed to download some file chunks.
```
[dash @ 0x55b477e86880] DASH request for url 'https://director.livecdn.teliaplay.net/notvm/mso/TV_1HD/dash/video-stream-1-150182387590546.mp4', offset 0

```

However, when I was using wget to download it, all works out
