Infinite bufferization in iOS.

Hi everyone!
Do anybody have same problem? During playing channels from list, the bufferization ring doesn't disappears. On Mac and ps4 plex client everything is ok.

Before Plex developers fix their client You can use this workaround for now by adding duration in __init__.py file at the end of line 251, like this:

        items = [
            MediaObject(
                #container = Container.MP4,     # MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI
                #video_codec = VideoCodec.H264, # H264
                #audio_codec = AudioCodec.AAC,  # ACC, MP3
                #audio_channels = 2,            # 2, 6
                parts = [
                    PartObject(
                        key = GetVideoURL(url = url), duration = 1000
                    )
                ],
                optimized_for_streaming = Prefs['optimized_for_streaming'] # ...
            )
        ]

However the progress bar will always read 1 second for the duration of the video witch might not be an issue but I do not like this solution enough to include it in the code, maybe I'll read the duration from m3u file or program guide, not sure jet...

After testing on a few clients I noticed that smarter ones recognize that it's the live stream and ignore provided duration value, looks like only iOS client have this issue, so this workaround is implemented in latest release v1.2.6.

Plex fixed this in latest iOS player so plug-in no longer defines duration.
