Wrong X-TARGETDURATION in m3u8 playlist causes error on Andorid Chrome.
Error not visible in console or everywhere else, so its really hard to detect.
Chrome Desktop ignore this error for some reason, but mobile sensitive to it.

I have wrongly thought that it should be full video duration.

Solution is: X-TARGETDURATION should contain duration of longest video fragment.

Here is an example of a Media Playlist:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10

#EXTINF:9.009,
http://media.example.com/first.ts
#EXTINF:9.009,
http://media.example.com/second.ts
#EXTINF:3.003,
http://media.example.com/third.ts

The first line is the format identifier tag #EXTM3U. The line
containing #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION says that all Media Segments will be
10 seconds long or less. Then three Media Segments are declared.
The first and second are 9.009 seconds long; the third is 3.003
seconds.
