fix: Fix EOS set-top box being identified as Apple. (shaka-project#4310)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The EOS set-top box, built by Liberty Global, has WebKit embedded and should play MSE (+ EME) compatible streams. With the latest version (`4`), streams didn't play. When attaching a debugger to the box, I noticed that the srcEquals node is selected.

The EOS box identifies itself as an Apple device, which is wrong. `Platform.isApple()` returns true, therefore `shouldUseSrcEquals_` (in combination with `config_.streaming.useNativeHlsOnSafari`) returns true as-well. The native playback check is not holding it from selecting srcEquals (https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/blob/main/lib/player.js#L1273) as EOS supports MPEG-DASH natively (but not in combination with DRM, as far as I know). Nonetheless, MSE is preferred.
