 Replying to [comment:2 beloko]:

 4.010667 seconds. So to be compliant with the specification
 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION is rounded to the upper value 5. It's correct.

 With multiple video bitrate streams and audio tracks at adaptive bitrate,
 the video player switch automatically to different quality according to
 the bandwidth. When a video or an audio track isn't cut exactly at the
 same duration, sometimes spectator can detect a video freeze, a strange
 click noise in the audio rendering. Or the voice is a bit desynchronized
 with the mouth that's speaking.
 >
 > The Apple mediastreamvalidator tool check the #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION is
 the same for all embed streams/tracks specified as a #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:.
 And returns this kind of error message if the longest segment duration is
 different between streams/tracks.

 No, That should be modify by one of the two space, specification, or
 mediastreamvalidator :D

 whatever, maybe it cannot cut at 4s is a bug.
