What do you want to do with Hls.js?

I'm using hls.js to play a live stream. When the video element is muted and the browser is minimized or the current tab is hidden, after some time the live stream stops loading. It resumes loading and playback when the tab becomes visible again. This issue does not occur when the video is unmuted.

In my use case, I need the live stream to play continuously, regardless of whether it's muted. Is this behavior due to the browser, or is there a limitation in hls.js? I'm not very familiar with the internals of hls.js, so any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

What have you tried so far?

This is the browser pausing muted playback when the media element is not in view.
