Live streams still sometimes won't play.
Comment 6 Eric Carlson 2011-05-05 14:10:04 PDT 
The problem happens when seekToTime: is called on the AVPlayerItem immediately after AVFoundation reports that the stream's metadata is available, and neither the completion handler nor the periodic time observer  fires. This leaves WebKit waiting for the seek to complete.
Comment 7 Eric Carlson 2011-05-05 14:12:43 PDT 
Two issues here: 
1) the periodic time observer is an autorelease object, but we don't retain it so it it is deleted and *can't* ever fire.
1) our AVFoundation media engine state machine should not try to track when a seek is in progress, and should instead depend on AVFoundation to notify of buffering state changes.
