Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0 Example URL: Steps to reproduce the problem: This is basically the same issue as https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=602977 just for HLS. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Did this work before? N/A Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5 Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 49.0.2623.112 Channel: stable OS Version: 4.4.6 Flash Version: 21.0.0.216 HLS is currently supported natively by Microsoft Edge and if I'm not wrong for Safari and Chrome for Android but not for Chrome on the desktop version.

No support for this planned. Especially now that Apple allows MP4 in HLS and it can be trivially supported using an HLS.js script.

Such a polyfill comes commonly with some downsides (which in my opinion aren't trivially here). Wouldn't it be possible to add such support over external codecs? For example on Linux systems if the user has FFmpeg installed its capabilities could be used to do this. This way other codecs could be supported too. |
