We rotuinely generate clips from recorded streams and seem to run into weird behavior of -ss and -t. also it seems the hls stream always has a start-time of 1.4s. This is not the core problem though. when we generate short clips deep in to the stream i.e. -t 1000 -s 10 it often happens we get no output at all.

here one cut firther back (sorry, in the previous reply i repeated the cut from 1000s twice)

ffmpeg -ss 3000 -i ./e24f6b2e-36ad-4ac0-9670-879bb34ea828/cam5_2_hls.m3u8 -t 1 daniel-dev/test.mp4
