First Packet is Discarded

[KartikKillawala]

I am new to pyshark and was working on one trace file where I observed that when the param only_summaries is set to True, it discards the first packet and stores only the second packet onwards. How can we get access to the first packet then?

@KartikKillawala Same issue here. When setonly_summaries=True will lost first packet.

I am trying to fix this. @KimiNewt Did you still maintain this repo?

I do NOT have only_summaries=True and I'm also losing the first packet.

[bishop527]

discovered that if I use only_summaries=False (prior I didn't use only_summaries at all), i do not loose the first packet.

I fix this by #255 , you can refer.

[bishop527]

#255 fails the checks for python 3.6, which is what I'm using.
Regardless, I don't think a fix is needed. All you need to do is add only_summaries=False to LiveCapture

I am user of Python 3.65. And I updates the PyShark to latest version. I still lost the first packet when the option only_summaries=True.
