Video node - pausing Live content

Hi All,

I was testing video player using the samples provided in the Git Repo. Sample was for VOD content.
I updated the sample to load a Live MPD file, my intention was to pause the live playback using play button on the remote.
But, i was not able to do so. While pressing play button on remote it pauses for a second and starts playback again.

What would be going wrong here. Could anyone help.

        I basically tried to set the "control" field to "pause" in the video node.

        The issue only occurs with live content. The video pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. It works fine with VOD content.

        If it helps, I am able to launch live content from the beginning of the stream and even time-shift
