HLS video stream (m3u8) has glitches and delay in the first segment

I use QML MediaPlayer to play an m3u8 stream (over HLS). It does play, but the first segment stalls and stutters at the start. Only when the next segment starts to play, the stream looks fine.

This is one of the streams I try to play:

This stream plays in fine in Firefox with a HLS plugin. Also ffplay plays the stream fine. To me it seems that MediaPlayer is the problem here. In the logs I see that it fails to do a seek(0)

The weird thing is that if I resolve the m3u8 playlist to the actual stream segments and I set the URL of the first segment as resource in MediaPlayer, then that segment plays fine! This is a nice work around for streams that consist of a single segment, but for multiple segments it does not help as I cannot put multiple URLs in the source.

I have this problem on both Linux and Android (Android is my main concern).
