If bandwidth drops off precipitously, it's not a good idea to fetch a higher quality segment while waiting for the new media playlist to load. Delay segment loading instead. Less fetching will be done in parallel after this change but:

  • the player will adjust to dramatic bandwidth drops more quickly
  • the player will upshift more quickly when bandwidth returns

Seeking is clamped to the seekable ranges, which are empty for an empty playlist. Making seeking a harmless no-op to match the spec in this case.
