Poor Video Streaming Support - How to Improve??? #8738
Comments
These all play at https://videojs-http-streaming.netlify.app/. The http one doesn't, as it's http
Of the others, many have CORS restrictions. The server only allows certain sites to play them. A desktop application like VLC is free to ignore those headers, but browsers enforce them and that can't be circumvented in javascript. ts isn't supported, other than as ts segments in an HLS stream. |
@mister-ben thank you so much for the feedback. This info is super helpful. So I can remove any .ts links or http links. Are there any other formats that you know are common and won't play? Also, is there any way to programmicaly check if the stream has a cors policy? The only way I can think of is through a simulated browser, which I would like to avoid as its slow. Take care. |
Description
Video.js seems to have very poor video streaming support when compared to other players, such as VLC.
Is there any way to improve video streaming support?
For example, the following streams play on VLC, but do not play on Video.js
-- Update: so I tested all of these links in hls.js player, as i know desktop players have more power than a browser player, some of the examples i provided do play in hls.js player, but not in videojs player
plays in hls.js but not in videojs
Reduced test case
