Black Screen on iOS browsers

Open istng opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hi! Thanks for the amazing work on this library, it is super! However, my use case heavily involves iOS. I found this merge mentioning said bug, and linking to a webkit bug report that seems to be ongoing, even reported on iOS >15.

Ill be looking for some solution to this, but does anyone found anything that fixes it?

You could try sending the stream back to the same browser through an RTCPeerConnection.

It’s not ideal but should be a workaround until iOS Safari is fixed.

Routing through the MediaSource API may be another solution but I have not tried it.

thanks, I'll try it with RTCPeerConnection and if it works share the results :)

I ended up switching video elements with css and did not try RTC... but if I ever do, I'll try and remember to get back here.
