I’m not totally sure why this might be happening, but I’ve just installed a new version (2020.05.13) of the code that might (or might not) prevent this.

I fixed the HLS Proxy side of this by maintaining a segment count as segments were added and removed.  The "while" at line 350 was updated to also check the count to hold on to a minimum number of segments.  (I set it to three to be friendly to the browsers, but really it only has to be one.)

I would prefer to actually fix the problem, rather than 'working around' it.  However, if the newest release (2020.05.13) of the code does not fix this, then please post a patch for your workaround, and I’ll consider adding it to the code.
