AVPlayer throwing : "Internal error: restarting too far ahead"

Question

I am observing KVO AVPlayerItemNewErrorLogEntryNotification of the AVPlayer and I find the following error:

• errorStatusCode:-12645 errorDomain :CoreMediaErrorDomain errorComment:Internal error: restarting too far ahead (-1.4084s)

I am unable to understand what the below line really means.

"Internal error: restarting too far ahead"

Can anyone help me to find the root cause of this issue.

If long .ts video file respons with: -12645.

There is no documentation for error status codes returned by MPMediaPlayer in MPMovieErrorLogEvent class. But some of them are:
