Live is consuming 100% of CPU

[pmendozav]

Description: Live stream suddenly consumes 100% of CPU

Reduced test case: Here

Steps to reproduce:

• It is very random, sometimes it is at the beginning and sometimes should wait several minutes.
• Something I observed is that usually crashes when video content changes (maybe with a DISCONTINUITY tag)

Errors: No errors in console

What version of Video.js are you using? tested with videojs 7.8.4 and 8.17.4

What browser(s) including version(s) does this occur with? Chrome

What OS(es) and version(s) does this occur with? MacOS

Other observations: I got the stream from here: https://www.newsmaxtv.com/n2 After crashing in the netlify tool, newsmaxtv continues playing

I've replicated with that stream on 3.16.0 just now, at an ad break so probably a discontinuity. Chrome's currently broken display of m3u8 (and other) responses in dev tools at the moment isn't helpful.
