A bigger frustration I experience is that some streaming seems to just "give up"; stalling and never resuming. I know the connection and server are okay because I can usually force it to resume manually, e.g. doing a page refresh, so is it just bad server architecture or a codec problem?

This happens to me with Fox Matchpass events (gotta see Champions League matches while at work). Most of the time, it will get enough of a buffer to start again, but there have been times when I manually have to stop/start the player to get it to go again. I've never had to do a hard page refresh though.

Another funny thing about Fox Matchpass streams is that when watching it live, somewhere around the 85th minute, the stream magically jumps back to the very beginning of the broadcast well before kick-off. I have to manually click the 'Live' button to get back to it. This one is consistent, and odd. It's almost like some test code got left in, and nobody has noticed/reported/etc.

Youtube fixed this problem many years ago, but it recently became un-fixed. New codec?

Maybe, it happens on FF fairly frequently but never (that I can recall) on Chrome (same distro Fedora 27).
