Shaka Error 6001 May 2026

When playing a live stream with a EXT-X-SERVER-CONTROL tag containing HOLD-BACK and PART-HOLD-BACK values that dynamically update faster than the player’s garbage collection cycle, Shaka Player enters a state where the manifest’s partial segment list grows without bound. Eventually, the JavaScript engine’s call stack or heap limit is exceeded, throwing a native RangeError or InternalError . Shaka’s error translation layer maps this uncaught native exception to a default code: 6001 .

Under these conditions, the player crashes with Error 6001 on Chromium 122+ and Safari 17.2. shaka error 6001
