Overview
DiscontinuityItem represents an EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tag used in HLS playlists.
According to RFC 8216, Section 4.3.2.4,
the EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tag signals that a discontinuity exists between Media Segment items.
This break in continuity can occur due to changes in encoding parameters, stream content,
or other reasons that require the client to reset its decoding process.
For example, an HLS playlist might include the following tag to indicate a discontinuity:
#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITYWhen the client parses this tag, it understands that the next Media Segment should be treated as starting from a new point, independent of the segments that came before.
