Question / Help Struggling using HLS as inputs

Hello, I am trying to use OBS for a news organization. The idea is that we take HLS streams from video providers, add our brand identity + voiceover, etc all produced live using OBS.

The problem is that using HLS inputs in OBS seems completely hit or miss. Sometimes it will work flawlessly, other times it will require me to select a particular chunklist from the m3u8 in order for it to work properly, and many other times it is constantly choppy, or losing sound for a second and then coming back. Note that this is not a problem of the original streams, since they playback perfeclty if using, for example, the akamai hls test player.

Anyone has an idea on what could be going on or how to fix it?

Thanks

Bumping this just in case has been facing the same issue... I can't believe this problem is not documented at all
