many m3u8 streams stops playing after a few minutes

I have a problem with vlc 3.0.8. Many m3u8 streams are stopping after a few minutes. What can I do to fix this isuue?

1.https://digilive.rcs-rds.ro/digilivedge ... 58592.m3u8
2.https://live.webcamromania.ro/WR062/wrc ... ylist.m3u8 (this one doesen't actually stop, but freezes after a few minutes)
Any other stream from webcamromania.ro is doing the same thing.

Yes, confirmed, it's playing fine with other players including FFplay.

You should create a new ticket on the VLC Trac with the link to your streams and to this thread.
