Research direction

Start by reproducing the HLS streaming request for the affected song and compare attempts that time out with those that succeed two minutes later. Done means the intermittent timeout is explained and the API behavior is corrected or the issue is documented as an external service problem.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since yesterday it looks like the HLS streaming is timing out on songs, it effectively doesn't return, and then for the same track 2 minutes later it'll work and then not again. Any ideas/is this a known issue?
