Does the issue happen in fullscreen on iOS or when the player is playing inline? Can you paste the URL of the m3u8 in the address bar in Safari and tell me if the issue occurs when the stream is being played back without our player?

Hi Donni, thanks for your kind help.

Yes, this issue also happen in fullscreen on iOS.

I tried to paste the URL of the m3u8 on the address bar in Safari (iOS), the page return black in color with the small bar in the center; No streaming shows.
While I paste the URL on the address bar in Safari (Macbook Air), the page can show the video properly.

In addition, the testing iOS version is 10.3.1 and the Safari version (Desktop) is 10.0.1

We use Safari as a benchmark browser since Apple created HLS. If you aren’t able to get playback in Safari outside of our player then it seems there is an issue with the stream itself. I would advise you to partner with your streaming provider or use Apple’s mediastreamvalidator tool to troubleshoot your stream.
