Problem loading HLS link about videojs-contrib-hls HOT 7 CLOSED

This is because of the new videojs errors work release in 4.6.x. Once we release the re-architecture of the plugin into a tech (#62) it will go away.

Looks like I totally misread the original issue.
Android and iOS browsers use the native HLS implementation for HLS playback, since plugin does nothing.
Can you provide more information on how you are setting up your player?

Actually we were using android native player. As akamai is our CDN partner they are giving us the streams in HLS format. The HLS streams from AKAMAI are not supported by all android device. Thats why we are looking for Video.js now.

We have embedded video.js in our website in a HTML page. As per the instructions from video.js's website. It works fine in PC browser's but it wont do the adaptive switching. And we couldnt play it on android and iOS browsers.

Is that possible to re-direct the streams to HTML player without going to Native player?

We have seen some android applications they are using HTML player smoothly
eg: Spuul

This plugin can only improve HLS support on platforms that support Flash so it won't be able to help out on Android. From what I've seen, getting HLS working on Android requires you to be very careful about how you encode your renditions. For instance, if the timestamp values encoded in your segment are non-continuous or you use the #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tag in your playlists, Android will choke.

If you're building HLS support into a native Android app, you have a lot more options. There are a number of 3rd-party HLS implementations that support more stream features than the native player. If Akamai doesn't offer you the ability to tweak your HLS encodings, this might be the only way you can go.

I'm surprised to hear you're not seeing adaptive switching on desktop. Do you have an example URL that demonstrates the issue?

here is our channel link :http://cinesoftlive-lh.akamaihd.net/i/mathrubhumitv_cinesoft@192173/master.m3u8

Now the problem with player is that in windows web browser's like chrome and Mozilla fire fox is that it will not play smoothly and adaptive Multi Bitrate Switching is not properly done.Only a single resolution will play continuously.But it will work fine in ios and android.

@Ashim0006 sorry I took so long to look at this. It appears that your link is dead now. Any chance you could update it?
