What did you do?
My app plays HLS streams from different sources.
But for 2 of these sources, here's what happens when I try to play a stream:

1. The URL loads.
2. The play() promise never ends (no resolve and no reject).
3. If I try again, this time, the play() succeeds and the stream plays as expected.

Here's the related code:

try {
  await shakaPlayer.load(url);
  await videoElement.play();
} catch (error) {
  console.log(`Error: ${error.message}`);
  throw error;
}

I tried it in different version on https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com and here are the results:

✅v4.9.29
❌v4.10.21
❌v4.11.7
❌nightly

✅ means that the stream plays the first time I press the PLAY button.
❌ means that the stream plays the second time I press the PLAY button.

So, it seems that something happened between v4.9 and v4.10.
