The HLS standard says about encryption:

"An encryption method of AES-128 signals that Media Segments are completely
encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) [AES_128] with a
128-bit key, Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), and Public-Key Cryptography
Standards #7 (PKCS7) padding [RFC5652]. CBC is restarted on each segment
boundary, *using either the Initialization Vector (IV) attribute value or
the Media Sequence Number as the IV*; see Section 5.2."

In this case the IV for decryption of the first segment should be 0x0, the
second 0x1 and so on and so forth.
