[fixed target duration](/quest/m1/archive/hls-target.md)'s overrun rule,
whose target then comes from the interval.
- **Segments run under twice the interval** even without an overrun, since
the group containing a line can start up to one interval before it. Open
for the maintainer: a target of twice the interval (RFC 8216 compliant,
but players hold back twice as far) or the interval itself with longer
segments listed under the overrun rule.
- **The target duration is the interval** (maintainer, 2026-10-28). A
segment can run up to twice the interval even without an overrun, since
the group containing a line can start up to one interval before it;
regular GOPs never do. One whose rounded `EXTINF` exceeds the target is
listed under the overrun rule. Rejected: twice the interval, which is
RFC 8216 compliant but doubles every player's hold-back.
- DASH lists the same segments by `$Time$`.
