HLS in Firefox


Hello,

I cannot seem to get my self hosted jw player 7 to play HLS video in Firefox. The page can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/y7PL0m. The provided link is using jwplayer6 - jwplayer 7 has been setup in our next update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My setup reads:
jwplayer('mediaplayer').setup({
'width': '100%',
"aspectratio": "16:9",
'file': 'http://d1dh1eq94v8p9i.cloudfront.net/user_165/1434149139_Jamiemov/playlist.m3u8',
"image": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/diveoapp/user_165/1434149139_Jamiemov.png",
'autostart': 'true',
'startparam': "0"
});


var initSound = function() {

jwplayer("mediaplayer").load();
jwplayer("mediaplayer").play();

document.removeEventListener('touchstart', initSound, true);
}

The m3ub file reads:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=5168000,RESOLUTION=1280x720,CODECS="avc1.4d001f,mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=3096000,RESOLUTION=640x360,CODECS="avc1.4d001f,mp4a.40.2"

Hi, there.

The stream plays as expected for me in Firefox. Do you have Flash installed? HLS is not natively supported in Firefox, so our player requires Flash to be installed in order for the stream to play.

Please let me know!

Alex, good catch. The issue was that I did not have flash installed. Thank you!

Alex, is there an alternative to using flash for this? It seems like a lot of people do not have flash setup in firefox. What are your thoughts?

Is there anyway to attach an action to the "no playable sources found" error? Maybe check for flash and if the user doesn't have flash display a message that tells the user they need to download flash?
