preload doesn't work with hls ?

[vcombey]

I instantiate videojs like that

    let playerOptions = {
        "preload": 'none',
        "sources": [{
            "type": 'application/x-mpegURL',
            "src": 'https://***.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/' + '/stream.m3u8'
        }],
    };

    var player = videojs(video_reference.current, playerOptions, () => {
        player.load() // <-- regardless of where I put this call it doesn't work, if i remove it it works but I loose the control of when to video data
        console.log('player ready')
    });

whenever i call player.load(). the player displays: "the media could not be loaded", and the blob request fails: "GET blob:http://localhost:3000/e38ba18c-15d9-4ae0-8fdd-31784de6eef7 net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"

I'm using using "video.js": "^7.10.2", on chrome on macos

This is basically a known issue. I would recommend against calling load() when non-native playback is being used. We probably should handle this case properly, though.

[gkatsev]

Calling load() won't actually do anything right now for our playback. We actually still end up preloading a bit even when it's set to none. When we fix that issue, I'll make sure we properly support calling load as well.

Any updated guidance here? Bug still exists on Chrome in 8.3.0 and no guidance is offered in https://docs.videojs.com/player#load. I'm trying to explicitly start loading the video data:

/** @param {CallableFunction} beforeLoad */
loadPlayerData( beforeLoad ) {

	let player = this.player;

	if( player && player.preload() === 'none' && player.paused() && player.readyState() < 1 ) {

		if( typeof beforeLoad === 'function' ) beforeLoad();

		player.preload('auto');
		player.load();

		return true;

	}

}
