Looks you have used the BYTERANGE mode. The first dose not use BYTERANGE mode.
reference link about the BYTERANGE with version tag description:

hls.js player doesn support version 4

with version 4 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE: doesnt change ant allways set to 0

i dont understand why #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE doesn't have to change in version 4

ffmpeg set tag #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE to 0 allways while segments are constantly changing, why????

Your made two issue in one ticket, this is the second problem, and i found a new problem when use hls_segment_size, all of the problems are happened in hls_segment_size mode.

I'm not full time in FFmpeg, just hobbies in this regard, this is not my job, so, no plans.
