There are no network errors such as 404s in the browser console when trying to play the stream -

The issue occurs in the latest reference client on http://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/ and not just on my page

Steps to reproduce
Play a live content with a break (interruption) in the stream.
The server is creating a new period when there is a break in the stream. There will be segments added in the new period on Manifest refresh when the service is restored.
The use-case is a Restart TV scenario where the start doesn't change but the end keep moving with wall-clock time.
Observed behaviour
Player throws error on screen while starting playback of second period. Popup shows error in 'startTime'
Error manifestError
Cannot read property 'startTime' of null
