MP4Box doesn't generate chunks when called without "-segment-timeline -url-template"

[alex-rsk]

• I looked for a similar issue and couldn't find any.
• I tried with the latest version of GPAC. Installers available at https://gpac.io/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/
• I give enough information for contributors to reproduce my issue (meaningful title, github labels, platform and compiler, command-line ...etc).

Greetings.
Trying to make MPEG-DASH without segment-timeline.

Command

MP4Box -dash 10000  \
-dash-ctx /dev/shm/broadcast/ozDBQ3NVL7/context.txt \
-profile dashavc264:live \
--utcs="https://time.akamai.com/?iso&ms" \
 -mpd-refresh 5 \
 -dynamic  \
-bs-switching no \
 -insert-utc \
 -min-buffer 15 \
 -mpd-title "ABR test"  \
--force_flush \
-time-shift 30 \
/dev/shm/broadcast/ozDBQ3NVL7/input.mp4#video:sreg:#Bitrate=500k:#Representation=norm:dur=10 \
 /dev/shm/broadcast/ozDBQ3NVL7/input.mp4#audio:sreg:#Bitrate=48k:dur=10 -out \
   /dev/shm/broadcast/ozDBQ3NVL7/manifest.mpd 

The player doesn't play, it can not find segments, because they're not generating, except initial segments and 2 first:

Actually, they are absent in the out dir:

First run is succesfull. Second and further runs give an error.

Looks like in the revison 268 it somehow worked. Now its version 2.5-DEV-rev298-g2e71a1ec9-master.
Reminded issue #2875, but setting/unsetting "#Bitrate" does not change anything.

UPD
Creating stream with segment-timeline also get broken! It happened with latest updates of repository, it seems.

I have been cleaning up a few things in the dasher context and cannot reproduce with latest master, could you cross-check ?

[alex-rsk]

I'm sorry for late response.
I was unable to check the very new version.
Now, checked 2.5-DEV-rev337, and it is working with segment-timeline.

Thank you a lot.
