ffmpeg 6: HLS sessions don't work (EOF)

Bug report

Describe the bug

ffmpeg doesn't provide a continuous stream - the playback stops after a few seconds.

Expected Behavior

The playback doesn't stop automatically.

Actual Behavior

HLS streams don't work properly if ffmpeg 6 is involved. The playback stops after a few seconds due to a pipe issue (eof).
The affected TV providers are e.g. Zattoo and waipu.tv. It seems that additional URL query parameters are the reason why the playback isn't possible.

Possible Fix

Use a different ffmpeg version with a bug fix included.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enable the IPTV Simple Client and add a M3U8 stream including additional query parameters.
  2. Start the playback of the affected channel.
    Please note that official add-ons like waipu.TV PVR are affected by that HLS live TV issue.
