Description

I found that VHS cannot play HLS v4 that formatted by smooth streaming but the previous plugin videojs-contrib-hls can do.

Hey @akkaradej , thanks for reporting. It looks like the video segment gets downloaded but the audio segment is not getting downloaded. We'll check into why.

@gesinger Is there any update on this ticket?

@gesinger Bump. I have not been able to get videojs to stream HLS in Chrome from Azure.

I am able to play the two links provided in the original comment with the latest version of VHS 1.11.2 (available in Video.js 7.7.1).

I'm having the same issue, using Chrome on Windows. The player stalls after it retrieves the 4th segment, and is unable to keep playing. Seeking forward let's you see the video, without sound. No problem at all with any browser on Mac. Thanks.
