Chrome doesn't support HLS. To use HLS you'll need an intermediary library like Shakaplayer, HLS.js, video.js, etc.

Is there any public documentation that I can point the customer to that covers this in any detail?

Some more information would be nice for people fielding questions from customers: Are there any plans to add HLS support? If so, can you give details on prioritization on timelines? If not, can you share why?

issue 761506 has the most discussion on it. There's no plan to add support. Chrome's position is that this should be handled in JavaScript. We provide primitives to handle the media parsing, but the manifest should be handled in JavaScript. |
