Problem with HLS on iOS browsers

[JordanChazottes]

Hi, I'm still getting the issue described in #37. I can't play HLS encoded 360/panorama video on iOS browsers. I've tested on differents browsers on my desktop and got no problems so far.

Some info that may be usefull :

• Video is on the same domain
• I've got crossdomain="anonymous" on my player
• I've tested the links post in issue #37 :
  • https://videojs-vr.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/example-local.html :heavy_check_mark:
  • https://videojs-vr.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/example-local-hls.html :x: (Play but blackscreen)

You can have a demo here

11.4 iPhone in not full screen it won't play, but everything works paused HLS in fullscreen it is a blank screen. It plays audio but no video. and with the test pages it is stretched but I can at least see it.

That looks like the native player. Do you have playsinline set on the video element?

https://videojs-vr.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/example-local.html	✔️	✔️
https://videojs-vr.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/example-local-hls.html	✔️	❌ (Sound audible but Image is black) no difference fullscreen or not

is there some properties to set on mobile devices for hls vr to work ?

@joelBrun @JordanChazottes Did you ever figure this out? We have the same problem with iOS and HLS, video plays and you can hear audio but is just a black screen.

Hi, I have faced the same issue, I had to dispose the player

videojs(document.getElementById('video-player')).dispose();
