Kilik, could you please help check it with your HLS implementation? Thanks a lot.

Hi John,Kevin,

I've played the video from Discover tab, it used HLS and I've verified that it can be played by our HLS native solution related to bug 1345752.

But I don't know the current situation on Fennec, I thought we have a workaround solution related to the front-end VideoPlayer.java
Depends on: HLS_on_Fennec

It is not possible to use livestream directly in this case as this is a paid broadcast and only the paying members can access the embedded video. The stream is broadcast using livestream but the stream is not visible on the site.
I can watch live stream through https://livestream.com/accounts/23202872/events/7200883 and our HLS implementation (in review progress, bug 1345752) works on that.

supercilious.dude,
Bug 1345752 has implemented a native solution for HLS, can you try to use nightly to see if you still can see this problem?
Flags: needinfo?(supercilious.dude)
I think we supported HLS for Nightly/Beta/Release starting from 59.

So I don't think it still an issue.

Please feel free to reopen it if the issue occurred again.
