[tvOS] TS stream hangs, VLC runs into a dead lock

As already posted in another thread, there is an issue with playback of specific TS streams. I repost/crosspost here, as the same issue is replicated with VLC for tvOS.
It is a decrypted TS stream recorded (and decrypted) from SKY - but same happens with LiveTV.

I now have a recorded stream at hand. It is about 10 Minutes in length, ~600 MB and I can share it.

This stream runs fine till 1:28 (88 seconds), then playback of audio and video stops, but progress indicator and time display continue as normal.

Debugging in my App using VLCKit shows my a deadlock with Decode Thread and some related threads. They stop at pthread_cond_wait() - not sure what they are waiting for.

If you prefer I could also enter a defect for this.
Please share the location, where I can upload the TS stream for further investigations on your side.

What is your VLCKit version?

I build the version from HEAD, when the last commit was on May 10th after you fixed the FFMpeg hash.
I tried later versions as well (June 18th and June 21st) but they were not better - in most cases even worse than May 10th version.
