Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox on macOS Sequoia (minimum).
2. Play the video on the given Netlify address
3. Open a new tab and visit a website
4. Wait a bit, can take several minutes

The bug is as follows: playback stops randomly but almost systematically after a few minutes if the player is not in the viewport — either by scrolling away with a limited height browser or by navigating to another browser tab.

We have tried with different HLS streams, DASH streams, and also with videojs-contrib-dash.
This is why we are reporting the bug in this repository and not in http-streaming.
