The Issue

The root cause of this issue is mentioned in https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/issues/982 - I noticed it when trying to stream Cop Chronicles videos which are 1080P where each blob only holds a second or two of data. The player will initially start streaming and then stop after a second or two because the 2nd blob is not completed/written to the file. This forces the user to click play again to resume the stream.

Is there a way to tell that the stream was paused because the data was not available and to restart it automatically when it is?

Steps to reproduce

Try streaming larger videos, like Cop Chronicles
Stream starts and then pauses

Expected behaviour

Stream should continue when data is available

Actual behaviour

Stream pauses and user must click play to resume

System Configuration

LBRY Daemon version:
LBRY App version:
LBRY Installation ID:
Operating system:

Anything Else
