Videos not streaming on ios (self-hosted iptvnator)
Describe the bug Using a self-hosted IPTVnator instance, when I try to play a stream from any browser on my ipad I get the normal loading spinning wheel, but then an error "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported", I can open the stream fine if I paste the link into VLC.
I have IPTVnator 1.0 beta 4 installed via docker. I'm hosting the front/back end on a centos home server and playing via web browsers on a range of devices. Using the videojs player. Works perfectly for windows 11 and Android devices, but not IOS. (note that I couldnt get the HTML5 player working on any system but I'm guessing that's a different bug).
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open any stream on an ios device.
- Doesn't play
Expected behavior Stream should play.
Screenshots n/a
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- PWA or Electron application - Electron?? Whatever is default in the docker image
- OS: [e.g. Linux] ipad client, IPTVnator front end web hosting and back end are served from the alpine docker image running on a centos system
- Browser [e.g. chrome, safari] Tried edge on windows and chrome/safari IOS
- Version [e.g. 22] 1.0.0 beta 4
Other context I can play the stream directly from VLC so at the moment I find a stream using iptvnator, then copy the link into VLC. Having the link right there is neat function, so it works, but it's a bit of a hassle. I'd also be happy if I could use a pseudo path link to use VLC as the default player on IOS (eg vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/ACTION?url=...&PARAMETER=... where ACTION is stream. from https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:IOS/), but adding this as the path to VLC didnt work either.
I can't get mine to play at all on Windows with Chromium and HTML5 or VideoJSPlayer or iOS. Not seeing any logs either.
Something must have changed recently, I'm now getting the same error in windows now for videos that were playing when I posted this a few weeks back. Basically the docker image is not able to stream on any browsers.

@oNIenSis Docker image has not been updated for the last three months https://hub.docker.com/layers/4gray/iptvnator/latest/images/sha256-3aca203c4d3cd3cb3d05d8db26f5083033a7b592a995b40f2101965a8f63dc42
Weird. Does it pick up latest git changes or something? Strange that it would stop working. The link it tries to open is fine, VLC plays it no problem.

Maybe you have suffered the same issue as mine. CORS policy did the trick.
Any update on this?
