+ at item independent_segments
+Add the @code{#EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS} to playlists that has video segments
+and when all the segments of that playlist are guaranteed to start with a Key frame.

 @item split_by_time
 Allow segments to start on frames other than keyframes. This improves
 behavior on some players when the time between keyframes is inconsistent,
