What did you do?

Playing a live DASH stream with multi-periods for DAI/Blackout.

What did you expect to happen?
Smooth playback without skipping a segment.

What actually happened?

We have something similiar to this bug #7156.
The issues seems introduced by the commit 729afb1.

The issue is always seen when a stream of a period is removed inside PeriodCombiner.deleteStream() and just after a StreamingEngine.switchInternal_() occurs at the same than an ongoing StreamingEngine.fetchAndAppend_() `.

In the context of DASH, this is the result of the release of the SegmentIndex.references array and SegmentIndex._templateInfo. At the end of StreamingEngine.fetchAndAppend_() we have 2 non continious timelines:
finished fetch and append [{"start":1730126446.310988,"end":1730126476.326988},{"start":1730126482.342988,"end":1730126488.337654}]

Here some logs with extra information (noted [SYNAMEDIA]) for tracking the issue:
v4-11-10-dot-shaka-player-demo.appspot.com-1730126722245.log

Are you planning send a PR to fix it?
Yes, and the plan is do the the same kind of thing than with #7156 by defering the call of the Stream.closeSegmentIndex() in a safe timing.
