On some devices the full screen button disappears after you start to play. On some devices HLS has video if you enter full screen before it starts to play, on others it only has video if you enter full screen after it starts to play. On other devices it's the opposite behavior - starting in HLS fails but switching to it succeeds. On some devices if the first src is HLS video plays fine, but if the first src is mp4 or webm then switching to HLS causes you to lose video. Our product works essentially on a playlist - when the ended event triggers for one video we change the video src and call.


Is this a legitimate bug with the Android 4.4.2 Samsung S5? What can I do to get more information about the nature of the problem? Using the browser application "Internet" on the Samsung S5, it will play the video for an HLS stream, which made me think this could possibly be an issue with Chrome, however, when tested on a Nexus 5 device with the exact same Chrome build (except Android 4.4.4) and the video plays fine.Īndroid Issue Queue has Issue 63810: No video in HLS live streaming on Android KitKat and I have contributed what I can.
